I was contemplating on going with the Tundra Flooring however, I was on a tight tight budget (the tundra is much nicer). When it comes to my thought on question 1... that's not a bad idea.. it also would give it a softer step I would think... it's like double padding in a way. As for question 2... I don't know how the vapor barrier stuff would work.. because depending upon the flooring under the fiberboard (i'm assuming concrete) it might lock any mositure under the vapor barrier stuff and possibly cause mold on the fiberboard... I would double check with the IKEA flooring professional to confirm that though... thanks visiting the site..! @ Marc… I was contemplating on going with the Tundra Flooring however, I was on a tight tight budget (the tundra is much nicer).

I've already purchased the actual Tundra Flooring and Niva Fiberboard Lining. Regarding the pre-installation, any thoughts on the following: 1. Purchasing the Niva Polyethylene Liner (comes in roll) and placing this in between the Niva Fiberboard Liner and the Tundra flooring? 2. Doing the same thing but instead of the Niva Polyethylene Liner, use the Sparra Vapor Barrier - again above the Niva Fiberboard but below the Tundra Laminate? I'm attempting to add further protection from spills once the floors are already down.

I just procrastinated a bit and turned it into a few weekends.. hehehe...

I'm looking at putting some similar stuff down. It looks very, very difficult. I read your other post--I know you're happy to be done with it. How many hours do you figure it took once you had the carpet up and were ready to go? The “cut where needed” part disturbs me. I’m looking at putting some similar stuff down.

We're looking at installing the Ikea Tundra laminate & are wondering how well the click system works, quality of the floors, stuff like that. How did the installation go?
