For a house on a concrete slab what kind of moisture barrier do you need for putting down hardwood floors in the kitchen if any?
Many people assume that a moisture barrier is needed and that it would actually work... OOPS, not so. Concrete actually pumps water up through the concrete through the same bit of physics magic that makes you capillaries work, not surprisingly its called capillary action. No moisture barrier is going to stop the pumping action and in fact may cause more problems, because once the moisture comes up, under the barrier it cant evaporate & will pool & feed bacteria & mold. The right answer is to use an engineered hardwood that will stay down without cupping & swelling and allow the concrete to breath & evaporate

Some carpet paddings have a webbing or moisture barrier coating on one side. If you're installing over wood floors the moisture barrier goes up to prevent spills from soaking into the padding. If installing over cement below ground level the moisture barrier goes down, against the concrete - to prevent condensation and ground seepage from penetrating through the pad.
