Basement Sub Floor Tiles & Matting
Sometimes, you've just got your heart set on a special color or design of carpeting that Badger Basement Systems of Milwaukee and Total Basement Finishing just doesn't offer. It may be a thick,
plush carpet, or it could simply be a specific color that will give
your finished basement a uniform look with your home upstairs.
However, these beautiful (and occasionally very expensive) carpet styles can be damaged significantly by moisture rising from the concrete floor of the basement. This moisture can collect underneath the carpet, where it contributes to mold, rot, and unpleasant odors in the basement.
Protecting Your Finished Basement Flooring
Keep moisture away from your carpeted basement flooring by installing a waterproof flooring product like Total Basement Finishing's ThermalDry basement floor tiles.
This
innovative new basement sub floor matting system locks together to form
a vapor barrier on top of the cold, damp basement floor. Each tile sits
on plastic pegs that create an airspace below, so humidity can move
underneath without being trapped. The airspace beneath also forms a
thermal break, allowing the surface of ThermalDry floor tiles to be
8-10 degrees warmer than the colder concrete below.
ThermalDry
floor tiles are superior to the old-fashioned wood sub floors, taking
only 3/8” of vertical space in a basement, compared to the 3-4” of the
old way. These basement flooring tiles last twice as long as
wood sub flooring, and they can easily be reused for many generations
of new carpet. The tiles install on the floor in an interlocking design
that needs no grout or adhesives, so if one tile is damaged or worn, it
can be removed and replaced without the need for grout or adhesives.
The tiles are ready to be used immediately after installation, and
because they are made of completely inorganic materials, they will
never support mold or bacterial growth.
