Challenge

The basement laundry room in this Essex county was water damaged and unsightly. The homeowners wanted their laundry room to be attractive and clean, a room that they could be proud to show to friends and family. Their basement walls showed signs of water damage and had messy black marks. Searching for a way to transform the look of their basement walls and floors, the homeowners called Quality 1st Basement Systems.

Solution

The Quality 1st Basement Systems team installed BrightWall wall covering and ThermalDry basement floor panels. BrightWall wall covering is made with a washable, 100% waterproof plastic that will never hold in moisture and grow mold. The wall covering keeps out unwanted moisture from the basement, ensuring that the walls stay dry and looking great. With the wall covering, the walls now look much cleaner and brighter. No more messy water stains!

Then on the floors, Quality 1st Basement Systems installed ThermalDry floor tiles to keep the floor warmer and looking better. Every piece of ThermalDry flooring was installed piece by piece. Instead of having to replace the entire floor, the homeowner can simply exchange pieces if a tile becomes damaged or stained. Raised pegs on the flooring create a thermal break between the concrete and the tile, keeping the floor up to ten degrees warmer. Now this basement has much more attractive walls and flooring.
