Good Afternoon and thank you in advance for any counsel. I have recently purchased Builders Pride Acacia hardwoods for my home and look to install on the entire first floor which is over an incapsulated crawl space. When ordered, I was encouraged to also purchase the Bellawood Premium Underlayment to use in place of felt paper. After doing my due diligence and reading several comments in this great forum, I wonder aloud if this is the right product or just a "check out add on" that I was roaped into? My intention was to purchase it for sound abatement and as a moisture barrier but hear from many that over time, it could cause the hardwoods to loosen, cup, crack and/or seperate. My questions: Should I use this product for hardwoods? If no, what should be put in its place to fulfill, at least, the moisture barrier? My thanks!
