What carpet glue or adhesive to use to install a stairway carpet with urethane laminated underlay?
Use HSEA by Westech Aerosol. I used that product to glue my carpet to my wall. My friend recommended that product to me when he learned that I got frustrated with the old glue product that I was using. Since then, HSEA is my most preferred adhesive product not only for carpet installation but for other materials as well. It's a spray canister so it's very easy to use. What's good about it is that this adhesive is safe to the environment and health. And even if it does not contain methylene chloride, it maintains it strength and bonds materials permanently. So I highly suggest that you use Westech HSEA to install your carpet in the stairway.

Can you install laminate flooring on concrete?
Absolutely. Laminate flooring is a perfect choice to go over concrete. You need to use a vapor barrier over the concrete and ensure that the concrete is reasonably flat. The concrete should have no dips or bumps of more than 1/8" Laminate is made of laminated HDF board which has imprint on it. HDF or High Density Fiberboard is a compound of the wood dust and particles which are pressed and glued together. All of the boards are laminated from top and bottom. It protects laminate from subfloor moisture and foot traffic. It sounds very promising and logical, but laminate still has two issues: 1) Every board has interlocking click-in system on the edges so material can float over the subfloor. These edges are processed(not always) with the chemicals which stop some water from penetrating into the laminated board. Those chemicals are not perfect making laminate material vulnerable against moisture. With time boards might buckle. It takes a while; you won't see much change after just one year, but with moderate moisture, you will most likely see it during the second year of use. 2) During the laminate installation process, installers have to do several cuts on the edges. These cuts uncover HDF board from the chemicals and laminated parts used for water resistance. Unless you seal or finish every edge with water resistant products, this area stays unprotected and eventually will buckle too. Vinyl material, however, has a huge advantage - it is fully protected against any moisture. Any cuts to the product won't harm the material or reveal any exposed area. Another positive thing about vinyl is the use of underlayment; without it the floor will be too hard for your feet. In general, underlayment for the vinyl floor is made out of foam, which has perfect resistance against moisture or water. There is a huge advantage of the vinyl over other products, including laminate. It is very important to know what material you're dealing with. Based on the material knowledge, you can analyze different options and see for yourself what material fits your needs better. If the concrete you're covering is in a basement with a higher moisture content, vinyl might be a better option.
