Basement Flooring

Broadleaf basement flooring chart Transform your basement into a highly functional living space…Today’s homeowners are looking to expand the usable space in their home. Basements have become an economical alternative to home additions but must incorporate flooring materials that meet the challenge of below-ground environments.

Basement Problems

There are two major concerns unique to basements that require homeowners to carefully choose how they will finish their basement space.

Mold and Mildew

Basements typically are damp, humid, and dusty environments. The floor makes up over 40% of the surface space that generates moisture in a basement. Traditional floor materials such as carpet, vinyl, or laminates can harbor mold, mildew, and other allergens that pose serious health risks to home occupants.

Basement Flooding

Occasional flooding can generate high mold and mildew counts and often requires complete removal of flooring with little or no reimbursement from insurance companies.

A Healthy Solution

Broadleaf has combined our high performance polymer flooring systems with MicroGard that provides homeowners with a healthy alternative to traditional flooring materials. MicroGard is an anti-microbial agent that prevents microbial growth on the coating for the life of the flooring system. Our decorative MicroGard flooring system permanently bonds to the concrete surface insuring a permanent fix against age old flooding.

The end result is an attractive solution to basement and laundry room flooring problems that significantly reduces humidity, mold, and mildew while transforming your basement into highly functional living space.
