Thank you, Mr, Lyle - you are absolutely on track and we appreciate the share! We are bound by the manufacturer's specificaltion of the product sold at The Home Depot. The majority of the laminate, wood, or vinyl plank products detail that the moisture barrier must be at the ground to uphold your manufacturer warranty. If your specific product does not detail this, please reach out, and we will approach as a one off if the vendor directive states differently. Thanks for reaching out!!!
Apparently that company "has to follow the rules" for installation as set by The Home Depot and their vendors. Not their problem. I've used this company and they are top notch and "by the book"
Thanks! Your answer is awaiting moderation.
