Water Proof flooring
We want to bring you the most informative information about waterproof flooring.
Flooring you choose for your house can play a big role in how susceptible you are to water damage. There are options in flooring that will waterproof your floor as well as sealants you can use. It is always a good idea to prevent yourself from any home repairs because they can cost you a lot of money. By spending a little more money on your flooring you could save yourself some money later down the road.
The type of flooring also depends on the room you are remodeling. The kitchen will use a different product than the basement and both should be equally protected. Any room that will be experiencing an excess of moisture or water should be water proofed, including bathrooms. Bathrooms will also need a coat of waterproof paint due to the steam from showers and the extra moisture exposure.
You have a few options, you can either by a flooring material that comes waterproof or you can coat the foundation with a waterproof sealant and put the flooring on top. You can always do both, which may in fact be the best solution. You do not want water seeping through the flooring and into anything that may be under the floor. Water proof Laminate is always a good choice because it is a moisture resistant material and can protect from water damage. The laminate is composed of four layers starting with the clear coating and has a high-density fiberboard core which absorbs water, preventing it from seeping into the floor. Basements have a few options as well; there are products that are a soft tile material that are excellent for waterproofing the garage or basement. There is a product called SoftFloors that are very durable and soft tiles that can be laid down on concrete floors. They are light weight and interlock creating a perfect material for garage and basements.
Not only will adding waterproof flooring to your basement help eliminate water damage, mildew, and mold but it will brighten up your room. You can turn it into an extra family room, entertainment room, or game room. With lighting and proper floors you can turn that room from a cold dark place no one wants to go to into a fun room where everyone wants to hang out.
