I just had Basement Systems install Waterguard and Thermaldry wall systems in my unfinished basement which I plan on finishing soon. I was also given a quote for Thermaldry floor matting but have some concerns about the flooring system.
Will my contractor know how to work with the Thermaldry floor?
What is the proper way to build walls on top of the Thermaldry floor and are there any restrictions or special considerations when doing so?
It seems like all available information on Thermaldry flooring only mentions carpeting. Are there any other acceptable floorings that can be used on top of Thermaldry?
Some of my basement will be finished as a kitchen where I don't want carpet and would like to use tile. The same goes for a bathroom that is planned for the basement. How do I handle this? The kitchen area will not be a separate room so there would be an area where the carpeted portion of the basement meets the kitchen without a wall to divide.
There will also be some nicely finished walk-in storage closets where carpet might not be appropriate.
Where can I find additional information about how to finish a basement after Thermaldry fllooring has been installed? There has to be more to it than just using tack strips and carpet. What are my options?
