Could you please clarify for what purpose is spreading the nylon on the woods and is it mandatory?

Could you please clarify for what purpose is spreading the nylon on the woods and is it mandatory?

Spreading nylon on decking woods has 2 major benefits;

1. The nylon under the freshly cast concrete slab acts as a water retention membrane, preventing a quick water drain off from under the new slab. This slow drying slab will ensure a better curing process for the concrete slab.

2. The nylon will save the wood under the concrete slab from quick degradation, by making the contact with fresh concrete minimal, the nylon prolongs the life and usage of the wood for a second and a third time. This will no doubt save money in the end because we know how costly wood is in the market today.

No it's not mandatory in anyway.
