ThermalDry Flooring is the Perfect Choice When Finishing Your Basement

The most important thing when it comes to flooring in your basement is to not use wood sub floors.  Laying down wood before installing carpet may seem like a nice and easy idea at the time, but when it gets wet, rot and mold will begin to grow.  You will have to rip the entire floor up and fix it, which only results in a messy and expensive project.

The best solution to laying down carpet in your basement is to use a subfloor made entirely of materials that aren’t affected by water, water vapor, and mold.  ThermalDry Flooring Systems are the perfect product for this instance because they are the only plastic, entirely inorganic subfloors in the world.

The ThermalDry tiles are 12-inch square modular tiles that lock tightly together with a carpeted or tiled finish on top.  They also have raised pegs on the bottom so that the flooring is suspended above the cold, damp concrete floor, allowing your floor to breathe.  Water vapor does not get trapped below the flooring, and if there is a leak, water can be dried from under the floor without having to remove the ThermalDry flooring.

An advantage of the ThermalDry’s modular design is if one spot on your floor gets damaged or worn, you can easily switch out the tiles from an area that never gets seen, such as from a closet or under a couch.  Also, you can always replace the tiles with new ones.

ThermalDry flooring comes in many different looks and styles, including carpeting, tile, and tile that’s made to look like wood.  This water-resistant flooring is the perfect solution for making your basement look good, while also keeping it dry.
