Subfloor Systems
Subfloor Moisture Barriers
When you're turning the basement into a living room, hobby space or studio apartment, you'll need a good subfloor moisture management solution. In these low areas, a hardwood or vinyl floor can be eaten alive by water and moisture seeping up from the concrete beneath it. This doesn't just lead to warped floorboards — it can also cause mold growth, structural damage, mustiness, chilliness and other harmful effects. Our basement subfloor moisture control systems allow the concrete to dry out without touching the finished floor or outright block water from getting there. As a result, your living space will be warmer, drier and healthier.
Spycor recommends using either
Delta-FL or
Platon dimpled polyethylene underlayment when refinishing a basement or slab on grade construction.
