NovoCore floors are waterproof, but a moisture barrier serves a different purpose. It helps protect your flooring from moisture v***r coming up through the subfloor.
Whether you need one depends on your installation environment and subfloor type. For concrete subfloors, a moisture barrier is always recommended, as concrete can release hidden moisture v***r over time. It's also especially important in high-humidity areas.
Understanding the difference between waterproof flooring and moisture protection helps ensure a better installation.
