Waterproof Flooring in Westfield

Friday, November 7th, 2014 by Cassandra Santiago

Challenge

A Westfield homeowner was tired of his dingy, unsightly basement. With past flooding issues, this wet basement had suffered some damages to the floors. The basement was only partially finished, with concrete floors in some areas and dated tiles floors in others. The tile was peeling and cracked, with pieces breaking off here and there. The concrete floor was moist and cold. There was nothing about these floors that made for an inviting environment, which is the type of space the homeowner wanted.

Solution

Fortunately, the team at Quality 1st Basement Systems had the perfect product! ThermalDry Floor Matting is a system of modular tiles that link together to form an entire finished floor. These durable tiles can easily be snapped off and replaced, one at a time, rather than having to redo an entire room's floor! Each ThermalDry tile is raised on underlying pegs, which help to create a space between this flooring and the subfloor. The gap allows for free flow of cold air and water seepage, but prevents both cold and moisture from entering the basement through the floor.

ThermalDry Floor Matting is made entirely of plastic, which means that it is both waterproof and mold resistant. ThermalDry comes in a variety of styles and colors, which makes it easy to customize the look of any room to fit homeowners' tastes! The Quality 1st Basement Systems installation crew removed the old tile floors and installed the ThermalDry Floor Matting in this basement. The homeowner chose the parquet wood design, which mimicks the appearance of wood but is waterproof plastic. Now this basement is looking dry and cozy!
