Flooring

Homeowners spend a lot of time determining which flooring is best for their basements. Because basements tend to have damp environments that may damage many flooring materials, selecting a durable flooring material is essential. Excess moisture can foster mold growth and rot hardwood flooring, so wood floor installations aren’t typically included in basement finishing projects.

Consider the following floor types when planning your basement renovations:

• Floating Floors – A floating floor allows you to place a moisture barrier between the floor and the basement’s concrete slab. This type of floor is not secured with glue or nails, and it allows you to install types of flooring that wouldn’t usually be appropriate for basements. Consider cork, engineered hardwood, sheet vinyl, and laminate flooring, and make sure that the flooring material that you choose is either completely waterproof or very water resistant and has been sealed properly.
• Floor Tiles With a Vapor Barrier – Floor tiles with a built-in vapor barrier are designed so that the molded plastic bases elevate the tiles off the concrete slab slightly, permitting ventilation between the tiles and the concrete and preventing mold and mildew growth. These tiles are easy to install and affordable.

Drywall

During your basement finishing project, you might need to install drywall, and this step will pull your basement together so that it looks like a completed room. Hire the basement finishing experts at Budget Handyman if you want to make sure that the drywall installation is done correctly in your Calgary AB home. Before applying drywall in your basement with professional methods and equipment, our home repair and construction experts will check for moisture problems and perform appropriate repairs.
