I am having laminate floors installed on my 1st floor concrete slab. They keep testing the himidity. It has been to high. I have been running two dehumidifiers for 2 weeks, tore out my laminate floors.....What else can I do? Should I put a sealer on my floor? What kind- a waterproof or a water base????? HELP ME!!! THANKS!
Well if you didn't have to have laminate then I'd do tile floors.
laminate is a thin wood veneer,,,,go with hardwood flooring,,,,solid and will not peel,,,you need to seal the concrete AND use a moisture barrier so the floor wont warp. BUT if you have high humidity, look to other flooring options such as ceramic tiles.
Hi, If you are laying laminate over a concrete floor you should lay down a damp proof membrane (DPM) first to protect the laminate from moisture. If your floor is new the concrete has to have cured or you will have problems. Hope this helps.
