I posted this in another forum area and want to see if it will get some traction here.

Looking for information on underlayment for flooring that will go over concrete and wood subfloor. Even asking the folks at the store I get differing answers. Just trying to get a more narrow down "what is acceptable and what can I get".

Thanks!

On the instructions they suggest a 6mil vapor barrier on concrete, I would do that.

It says it doesn't need it on subfloor, but I always use it because it reduces the floating feeling of these click together floors.  I also suggest you sand the seams so the subfloor is as flat and smooth as possible
