3 Flooring Options for Your Basement

In an earlier blog, we discussed three ways to finish your basement floor: bare bones (flooring product directly to floor), built-up wood subfloor (wooden planks with plywood as a base), and ThermalDry Insulated Floor Decking (waterproof and mold resistant). Here we will discuss combinations of subflooring and flooring to fit every homeowners needs.

Whether you are completely finishing your basement or not, there are several things to consider when choosing flooring. Will it look nice? Is it comfortable? And most importantly, is it waterproof?

Matting

Perhaps you are looking to create a more comfortable basement floor in an unfinished space. Maybe you are creating a space for an exercise room or children’s play area. Or maybe you are simply looking for something to protect your valuables from the dampness of the concrete floor. Either way, the ThermalDry Basement Floor Matting is a great option. It provides a water vapor barrier and can prepare the space for finished flooring down the road.

Wood-Look Laminate

Maybe you are looking to finish your basement floor but are interested in something other than carpet. Completely waterproof and mold and mildew resistant, MillCreek Flooring gives the look of real wood without the risks created in the basement environment. It is made from PVC and no formaldehyde is used in the production process, which means it is environmentally safe and will not support bacterial growth.

Another advantage to using the MillCreek Flooring is that it can either be laid directly on the basement floor or a very thin layer of foam can be used. This is important when considering the limited head space in a traditional basement.

Pro-Comfort Carpeting

Perhaps you want the traditional look of carpet but are concerned about mold growth and musty smells in the carpet padding. When combining the aforementioned ThermalDry Insulated Floor Decking with the Pro-Comfort Carpeting, you get the comfort without the fear of mold or mildew. The Pro-Comfort Carpet provides warmer, more comfortable floors and the tiles are easy to replace in the case of damage.

To recap, from unfinished to finished, we have options that can be customizable based on your flooring needs every step of the way. Contact us  today for your no obligation, free estimate!
