Basement Floor Finishing
The first thing to do when thinking of finishing your basement is to eliminate all water problems – don't let a big rain storm ruin your finished basement, furniture, keepsakes, appliances and more. Once you have a waterproofing system in place, one of the first questions is what to do about the cold, hard concrete floor. A common solution is laying down carpet right on the concrete, but since the concrete itself is porous and allows water vapor to continuously travel through it, the carpet often ends up molding, rotting and smelling terrible.
The solution is to provide a vapor barrier between the floor and the carpet. The ThermalDry Basement Floor Matting System not only provides this barrier, but comes in a variety of styles and colors including both carpet and vinyl finishes. The ThermalDry system is also available in an unfinished tile, ready for wall-to-wall carpet.
ThermalDry also provides a thermal break between the cold concrete and your living area, making the floor both warmer and more comfortable. ThermalDry is the perfect compliment to the Wall System –a great basement finishing solution.
