In this video below, we show you how to lay a sub-floor for a basement floor installation. In this case, the client chose engineered hardwood flooring. Most basement floors are either laminate or vinyl, but our client wanted continuity throughout the home, so the basement flooring had to match the flooring on the main and second floors (as well as the open staircases).
The best sub-floor for hardwood flooring is plywood and when installed in a basement provides a sturdy even surface for the new hardwood floor. It also prevents moisture damage to the new hardwood flooring as you must lay vapour barrier onto the concrete surface prior to the sub-floor installation.
As they say in the flooring world, your finished flooring is only as good as your sub-floor….
