Hi guys,
I have had my bottom floor in my house laminated recently With Quickstep Laminate. I had ordered the Duralay Timbermate XL underlay which my laminate fitter has put down over concrete floor.
After the job was complete I realised the underlay was put down foil side up, from my understanding and that of Duralay the foil side should be facing down to act as a vapour barrier.
I’ve asked my fitter and he’s said he has done 100’s of these - foil side up - and has never had a problem and is happy to write me a guarantee.
my question is, the foil side being up will that cause a problem?
Should I ask him to pull my laminate back up and put the laminate down correctly?
I’ve not yet paid him hence why I’m asking.
thank you everyone
