Q:Do I need to buy tape, or is the adhesive already on the underlayment sufficient to hold the seams together?
by|Nov 1, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Roberts Airguard comes complete with 4 in. overlap seam with adhesive strip joins pieces and seals out moisture for added protection. An additional tape such as Roberts Model Number: 50-040 Underlayment Seam Tape is ideal for joining underlayment seams under floating floors and for repairing rips during underlayment installation.

    Q:Can it be used with a engineered wood floor that is nailed or stapled to the subfloor?
    by|Oct 27, 2023
    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  No. Airguard is specially designed to work as a floating underlayment under engineered or laminate flooring. However, you may want to consider Model Number: 70-198 ROBERTS® Silicone Moisture Barrier Underlayment is designed to protect floors from moisture, without trapping it underneath between the flooring and wooden subfloor. This product is for use with staple and nail down installations of solid, engineered and wood floors.

              by|May 17, 2023
              1 Answer
              Answer This Question

              A:  That is how I used this product. My home was built in 1919 so when I pulled out the carpet the floor underneath wasn't worth messing with. I had no problems at all using it over the exiting floor.
