Why vinyl is the right basement floor

  • 100% waterproof for flood and seepage — Basement vinyl survives water events.

  • Warmer than concrete or tile — Attached underlayment plus the vinyl itself makes basement floors comfortable.
  • Quieter than tile and concrete — Footstep noise in basements transmits to floors above.
  • DIY-installable — Click-lock vinyl floats over concrete.

Basement vinyl purchasing concerns — solved
