Because it shouldn't be there ! -Laminate flooring is supposed to be laid on foam mat and left 'floating', NOT glued to the floor.
Vitrified tiles are a type of unglazed floor tiles. Marbonite tiles are a subset of vitrified tiles. Marbonite tiles have a coating which reduces the porosity of the tiles. This coating reduces staining, allowing the tile to appear cleaner for a longer time.
Pergo is a Swedish flooring product company noted primarily for its laminate flooring products. Pergo invented laminate flooring in the 1970s and began selling laminate flooring in the United States in 1994 under the leadership of then-president Lars von Kantzow. Even though there are many manufacturers of laminate flooring products today, many people refer to all laminate flooring as "pergo". In addition to its laminate products, Pergo introduced hardwood products into the U.S. market beginning in 2004 and will introduce similar hardwood products in Europe in 2007.

An engineered hardwood floor can be floated or glued-down directly to the floor.Someone has changed the original question, or added it to this question, for what reason I have no clue.Question; Can you put underfloor heating under hardwood floorsYes, thousands of homes have radiant heat that runs in between the floor joist of a home.This is done underneath the floor and sub floor and if you where in the basement, when you look up between the floor joist, you would see the heat lines. This is accomplishedwith the use of a boiler. The lines do not throw off massive heat that would cause the hardwood floor to warp or buckle.
Vapor barrier under flooring is a 20 lbs felt paper or red Rosin paper both types Can be naught at Lowe's or home depot
Laminate flooring? There is a saw that rests on the floor and cuts a groove the right height under the door frame and trim and you slide the flooring under it.
You should install the tile floor first. Install tiles on the entire floor, even under where the vanity will go.
Yes, asbestos mastic (glue) under the tiles. ceiling or floor tiles?
The glue used to stick them to the floor is weak, or there was dirt or foreign matter under the tile, or the under floor was not completely clean when it was laid.
you have to remove the baseboard heaters first

No. Nothing can secure or bind Laminate in place and you will have problems with buckling & movement toward the other walls.
Well it could if your foil was thick enough to act as a thermal mass but as a foil, no. generally aluminium acts as a reflector to direct thermal energy - eg reflecting sunlight. As such under a laminate floor it would be very ineffective.
Pretty vague question, but if you can, laminate a new surface to the old one. If not, rip it out and put in a new one. never laminate to the old one this adds weight you already have extra weight from the rooten floor. remove old floor careful not to damage the stringers under the floor 3/4 plywood marine grade a-b screw only to the stringer glass in the sides
I would think the heating grid would have to be under the sub floor. It is was in direct contact with the laminate, even with the foam insulator, the floor moves just a little bit and over time could wear through the heating element.
just don't cover the entire floor with floor tiles, its just the same as making outside balconies, only they don't force you to put columns under it to support.
You can hire someone to install flooring in your local area by looking in your phone book in the yellow pages under floor installers. Ask for options in laminate and bamboo.
