Guest guest Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 We have an unfinished basement apartment and I am quite allergic to mold and I have MCS. Does anyone know what would be the best type of flooring to put down for a besement apartment floor that would keep mold from growing? I know that there is moisture when you have a cement floor in a basement. This house is a little over 50 years old. We live in a dry area but the previous owners did not keep the house very ventilated and it has taken us a long time to remove all mold or musty floors and add more windows to create more air. My dilema is that if I put synthetic material the mold probably will not grow but we will have all those fumes from formaldehyde etc that I cannot handle and if I put natural materials that maybe the mold will thrive. I am not sure what to do since this apartment is right beneath us. Would tile work? Cork? natural linoleum? any ideas? or perhaps book or resources you could guide me to?
