Subflooring....

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

In an earlier post someone had asked what type of flooring to put down

to " prevent " mold growth. Although I doubt there is a perfect

solution, my husband and I used a product called " Delta-FL " . Here is

the link to the manufacturer. http://www.deltafl.com/ We put down

engeneered wood flooring over it. Because we have cement sub floors,

we wanted to make sure that there was a significant barrier between the

cement and the flooring. This product raises your floors off the

ground and the " dimples " allow air to get between the gaps, so if there

should be water under the flooring it gives it a chance to dry before

mold would set in. Another reason I personally like the " pergo " type

flooring is that it can be taken apart if needed to get under the

floor. The product was very hard to get for us here in California, we

had to jump through many hoops and tons of phone calls with Lowes, but

they did order it for us and we really are happy with it. It was worth

the additional cost IMO.

For people with chemical sensitivities pergo flooring can off-gas. Had a friend

and husband who became chemically sensitive after installing one in the home.
