A basement’s space is different than the space in the rest of the house. A concrete basement floor is cold, and an unending stream of water vapor slowly diffuses through the porous concrete floor into the basement. A basement floor is likely to be wet at some point in the future - from a plumbing leak, or a surprise groundwater leak in a very heavy rain. The basement flooring chosen must take this into consideration.

The ThermalDry® tiles ate 12” square modular tiles that lock tightly. They have raised pegs on the bottom of them to suspend your basement floor above the cold, hard damp concrete floor, allowing your floor to breathe. Water vapor does not get trapped in the finished flooring, and if there is a leak, the water can be dried from under the floor without removing and destroying the ThermalDry® Flooring.
An advantage of ThermalDry®’s modular design is that tile and carpet can be mixed and matched to achieve a custom architectural look. And in the future, if one spot in your floor gets damaged or worn – a high traffic area at the bottom of the stairs for example, you can switch tiles from an area that never gets seen – like from in a closet or a hidden corner. Or you can simply replace just the tiles that need to be – something you can’t do with any other flooring.
If the basement gets wet temporarily, it is not likely you will have to replace anything – just dry it out quickly.
Countless traditional carpets have been ripped out and replaced in basements time and time again because they trapped water vapor and allowed mold to grow and odors to fester. Or they were saturated from a leak and could not be saved.
And, wood or wood products installed on a basement floor, such as hardwood, plywood subflooring, or laminate floors that are made of particle board will surely be ruined by a leak or water vapor.
Traditional carpets and wood floors are not appropriate for a basement and will not last. ThermalDry® Basement Floor Systems are the answer. ThermalDry® Floor systems are designed just for basements.
And if your basement floor gets wet – you don’t have to worry about your floor being ruined. Tests have proven it can be used in any environment, with no influence from humidity. MillCreek Flooring™ does not use the traditional adhesive bonding method with formaldehyde content; instead it is pressed by high temperature, thus eliminating any release of formaldehyde.
Our flooring is environmentally friendly because of no formaldehyde, no expansion, no fumes and it is bacteria free. The glueless E-Zee click system of MillCreek Flooring™ allows for ease of installation and eliminates the long and short term pollution of your living space.
