1. Basement flooring requirements.
Subflooring requires a higher level of moisture resistance to combat possible mold, mildew, and water damage. aquaguard flooring designed for low-level applications is highly water resistant and can be installed using various methods.
Aquaguard flooring can be installed over concrete using a bedding layer that acts as a moisture barrier between the concrete and the floor. Always use the manufacturer's recommended underlayment. If desired, aquaguard flooring can also be nailed to a plywood subfloor with an appropriate bedding layer sandwiched between them.

2. 6 reasons why aquaguard flooring is perfect for basements.
(1) water resistance. The core layer of aquaguard flooring is made of high-density fiberboard (HDF) and resin. This makes it reduces the expansion and ensures better water resistance.
(2) Warm, solid wood texture. aquaguard flooring has the same gorgeous wood look as solid wood.
(3) Radiant heat compatible. Some aquaguard flooring is specifically designed to be used with radiant heating systems. A subfloor must be installed to accommodate the heating system. Still, adding radiant heat reduces the energy costs associated with heating the space and eliminates the need for forced air heating.
(4) Ease of installation. With a little DIY expertise and a few tools, you can install your aquaguard flooring. Ideal for underground applications, aquaguard flooring comes with a click-lock system for easy installation.
(5) Long life. aquaguard flooring can last for decades if installed and maintained properly. Its lifespan depends on the thickness of the planks. Thinner planks tend to last 30 years or more, while thicker planks can last 80 years or more. These predictions usually apply only to higher-quality aquaguard flooring and not to cheaper versions.
(6) Increase resale value.
Aquaguard flooring is known to be an added value to the sale of your home so it can increase the resale value of your home.
