I.e. your vapor retarder needs to have lower permeance than the carpet, your mms needs to have a lower permiance than your vapor variety, if you want to use products that breathe use a carpet on top. (the real objective is anti floor covering industry to drive spec writers to polished / stained concrete - but flooring people are too busy fighting for table scraps)

Anyway it is valid. But always remember that moisture movement does NOT mean that it is still not a wonderful environment for mold.

I'm just glad I do residential. I never appreciated spec writers, architects and GC's who don't understand moisture issues.

Quote:JD said, "Consider a porous carpet on a wet slab, everything breathes and the moisture goes right through.
The adhesive would be affected by the alkalinity over time."

I understood what he said but that applies to anything really.
