Hello,
I want to lay laminate on the screed (with underfloor heating) in the basement. I saw a note with the laminate that when dealing with a "mineral substrate," a vapor barrier (I think 0.2mm PE foil) should be laid underneath.
a) Does the foil have to be sealed airtight at the joints with adhesive tape (like with a vapor barrier/vapor retarder on the roof)?
b) Should/might the foil also be pulled up on the sides of the walls under the skirting boards and possibly also be sealed (...like on the roof)?
Thank you very much for your answers
