Waterproof Basement Flooring

Man caves and basements, whatever you may call it this room in your home, often gets the reputation of being messy and dull. Nonetheless, lack of natural light in your basement or man cave shouldn’t prevent you from having a bright and inviting space. At Harry Katz Carpet One Floor & Home, we are very familiar with helping to update a man cave or basement. In fact, one of the most popular flooring options for such rooms is COREtec Plus and Invincible H20.

Vinyl Flooring for Basements

LVT floors have become increasingly popular for high traffic areas in homes. Basements and man caves may not have as much traffic as a mudroom but are often play areas for kids. With most basement floors being cement, it’s neither safe nor appealing to the eye.

CORetec Plus and Invincible H20 are known for their ability to be installed over most damp floors and existing floors, including cement. Both LVT flooring options are known as floating floors and use an innovative installation method to completely lock out water and liquids from seeping beneath the sub floor. In addition, COREtec Plus and Invincible H20 have a cork underlayment to provide extra protection against water and create and even finish. 

Though COREtec Plus and Invincible H20 are 100% waterproof, both provide their own unique features. For instance, COREtec Plus offers a variety of colors, textures, and collections that perfectly mimic the look and feel of real hardwood. COREtec Plus offers the XL, HD, and Design collections. Additionally, this LVT brand eco-friendly, for it is constructed of recycled wood, bamboo dust, limestone, and virgin PVC. Another important feature of COREtec Plus is that it is quieter, warmer, and naturally resistant to odor-causing mold and mildew. These features make it the perfect flooring option for basements and man caves due to its ability to resist mold and mildew, which can be problems in some basements.

Besides COREtec Plus’ unique features, Invincible H20 also offers some standout qualities. Invincible H20 is dent, scratch, scuff, and stain resistant. Also, its SuperBase construction is created with a woven support core that prevents the floor from shrinking, expanding, curling, or gapping. With kids and pets rough housing in the basement, you want a floor that can stand up to the wear but will also be comfortable.

Invincible H20 floors look like real handcrafted hardwood and are tough as nails. This LVT brand is designed keeping pets and kids in mind. Accidents happen, but Invincible H20 is easy to maintain and won’t lose its appearance even after years of use.
