Basement Floor Matting in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and Bronx
Often, a homeowner has set their heat on a particular design or shade of carpeting that Quality 1st Basement Systems of NYC of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and Bronx cannot offer. Sometimes this is a demand of a plush, thick carpeting, or perhaps a finished basement floor that’s uniform in style with the rest of the home.
However, the majority of beautiful (and expensive) carpeting designs are damaged easily by moisture rising off a concrete basement floor. As this moisture collects underneath the carpet, it contributes to rot, mold, and unpleasant odors in a basement. Make your Basement Flooring Last
Prevent moisture from damaging your finished basement carpet with Total Basement Finishing’s ThermalDry Waterproof Basement Floor Matting.
This innovative basement sub floor uses interlocking PVC floor tiles that lock together and are placed on your basement floor to create a vapor barrier between your carpet and the damn concrete below. 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 make the best use of vertical space in your home- using only 3/8”, compared to the 3-4” used by old-fashioned wood sub floors. They last twice as long as traditional basement sub floors, and they can be reused for several generations of new carpeting. Should one tile become damaged or worn, their unique interlocking design allows for removal and replacement—with no need to remove or reapply grout or adhesives. Your sub floor will be ready for use immediately after installation, and because there is no organic material in its design, it will not support the growth of mold or bacteria.
