This customer had a finished basement that they were looking to upgrade the flooring. Currently, the floor was wall to wall with beige carpet and they wanted to go for more of a hardwood floor look.

Our inspector arrived at the property with some flooring samples and the winner was our ThermalDry Elite Plank flooring in Espresso.

Our ThermalDry Elite Plank flooring has a luxurious wood look and feel and is inorganic and water resistant. The flooring is also equipped with raised pegs that will suspend the planks above the cold, damp concrete floor, which can make the surface temperature up to 10 degrees warmer.
