However i think thermal dry floor matting is a better option.
Thermal dry floor tiles.
Ceramic and vinyl basement tiles leave basement floors cold.
The interlocking floor tiles will provide a air space between your concrete floor and the hardwood flooring.
Serv pro took out the carpet pad ran blowers and dehumidifiers for 4 days.
You can t put tiles together the wrong way.
Heat flows from a room into cold concrete and the cold surrounding earth.
It also ensures that moisture will not be trapped underneath the floor.
By doing so a thermal break is created underneath which makes your floor s surface 8 10 f warmer than the cold concrete surface below.
And the interlocking joint design is strong but reversible.
Thermaldry basement floor tiles dry basement floor i love the product but refuse to pay 8 sq foot and the company doesn t sell the tiles to diyers.
The joints are self aligning.
A damp floor is a cold floor too.
Thermaldry tiles also have a built in drainage plane that allows condensation and other moisture to remain isolated from your finished flooring.
Each thermaldry floor tile rests on top of plastic pegs.
Had the pad replaced serv pro cleaned the carpet and i m back in business.
This is what it looks like.
It s as easy to remove a tile as it is to install one.
I actually have the thermal dry tiles and had no issue with getting dried out.
I previously located this source who was willing sell you the tiles directly see the discussion thread reproduced below and ship them to you at your cost.
The underside of each thermaldry tile features nubbed construction to create a drainage plane as well as a thermal break to shield your feet from the cold concrete floor.
You suggested a different search engine.
The search engine you suggested just took me to the same response that i found googling thermaldry basement floor systems.
This creates a space below each tile to allow for air circulation.
Water evaporating from surfaces lowers temperatures.
This air space provides a thermal break on your basement floor making the surface 8 10 f warmer than the cold concrete below.
I thought you would get me the answer as to where i can purchase these tiles myself.
It is a raised basement sub floor you use before putting down carpet.
That s why thermaldry flooring tiles simply snap together.
The 1x1 tiles snap together very tightly and actually sit over my uneven basement floor surprisingly well.
The channels in the bottom of thermaldry tiles provide an insulating barrier of air between the concrete and any wood or other floor placed atop the thermaldry subfloor.
They contain no thermal break between the concrete of your floor and your living space.
In fact the thermaldry underlayment system creates a moisture and thermal barrier to keep your finished flooring dry and comfortable at least 8 10 degrees warmer than the concrete surface.
Thermaldry floor tiles rest on raised plastic pegs on your basement floor.
