Basement floor matting
If your basement remodeling ideas include laying down your own carpet, but you don't want mold and mildew to form and rot your new carpet, then we have the perfect basement floor waterproofing answer for you. Basement floor matting from ThermalDry creates an inorganic barrier that will never grow mold or rot between the damp basement floor and the new carpet in your finished basement.
About ThermalDry basement floor matting
Like all our ThermalDry basement floor products, our basement floor matting creates a thermal break between your finished basement and the cold basement floor. Installing our basement floor matting makes your basement floor 8-10 degrees warmer than before and makes your finished basement more energy efficient.
While Wise Basement Systems does not recommend installation of linoleum, tile, or hardwood flooring on top basement floors, using ThermalDry basement floor matting is an appropriate surface for your wall-to-wall carpeting or padding installations. We recommend installing carpeting with tack strips instead of gluing it to the panels (although it has been done) so that you may still use the same subfloor again and again with new carpeting. Normal carpeting will not generally be as easy to dry in the case of a wet basement as the finished ThermalDry basement floor systems, but it will provide you with a world of options when you're finishing your basement!
Benefits of basement floor matting
While creating a vapor barrier and thermal break between your cold basement floor and the rest of the basement, our Basement Floor Matting also stops water vapor from getting trapped underneath, festering, and growing mold; making your basement more useful for safe storage of your valuable and important personal possessions.
