Before installing a Mirage floor, the subfloor should always be tested to ensure that it is at the correct moisture level. All potential sources of moisture should be eliminated in order to avoid future moisture problems. Moisture vapor barriers such as the MVP liquid membrane from Bostik can be used when moisture is an issue. However, relative humidity should still be monitored.
