Pro-tect floor covering or suggestions on covering damaged floor,

please jump in please.

Jeff,

Going to take your advice to separate first floor from basement but

need to do it in temporary fashion until I can get it done

permanently. There is still some water damage foundation work needed

and a dirty sump pump that needs replacement with sealed one and in

recent damp weather basement smelled moldy, so going to take the leap

at attempting this. Square footage of floor is about 800 square

feet, or three rooms of old wood floor.

Problem with basement air mixing with first floor have to do with

fact that wood floor is made of planks with no subfloor, planks are

not tight together. May have been when it was built and separated

due to movements of house, but now one can see lights from basement

through floor separations, SO considering that Pro-Tect floor

covering you recommend. Can I use the `carpet protector' on wood

floors and leave it down for about six months, or do you think one of

the other ones would be better? Here are what they offer:

The other thing I'm considering is to buy the type of vinyl flooring

that can be put right over the top of floor without needing to be

glued down, since the wood floor is damaged and may be too expensive

for me to repair. That would be a more permanent solution if

estimate of repairing wood floor that I will be getting is too high.

Thanks again……barb

Hi Barb,

I don't think the carpet protector would last if there is much

traffic and I am not familiar with the properties of the other

products. They could be fine but it may be simpler to just get some

inexpensive vinyl (so long as you as OK with the offgassing). Just go

with the least expensive, safest option.
