Is aquabar felt paper underlayment toxic? It uses asphalt in it?

Question

Aquabar is the name of the paper underlayment for wood flooring. My daughter is chemical sensitive and we have to be careful what we put in our home

Answer 1

yes it does have chemicals in it, remember that any felt paper is a petrol product, and could in extreme cases be harmful. but while your having the floor done, why not have your daughter go see some relatives for the night or weekend? this should give the 'vapors" time to wear off enough for her to come back home, and enjoy the  new floor with the rest of the family.

good luck.
