Wood Floor Moisture Barrier

Okay, we get a lot of do-it-yourselfers calling and emailing us, to ask what kind of paper needs to be laid under wood floor installs. A lot of names are out there, but the three you’ll hear the most are kraft, felt, and rosin paper. Just so you know, they’re all the same thing.

What is felt paper for?

Felt paper does a couple of things. First and foremost, it’s a moisture barrier. There is no actual felt in felt paper. It’s a layer of asphalt surrounded by two layers of normal brown craft paper.

I could imagine Transcend and HDM – the manufacturers of the most popular travel CPAP machines shaking in their loafers. The main appeal of the AirMini device is it’s portability – it’s size makes it the smallest CPAP machine on the market. With that – let’s dive into things and see what people have been saying about these units.
