Floor Vapor Barrier

PROBLEM:
Water vapor transmission seepage through a basement concrete floor.

Even after waterproofing your basement, bare concrete floors can often feel damp/moist and cool/cold. This is because the soil below a concrete floor is always cold and damp. Despite its solid appearance, concrete is actually relatively porous. It allows the transmission of this cold water vapor into your basement environment where it could condense into water, making your basement feel damp and cold.

If your basement floor is not properly insulated, this condensation can ruin finished floors that are installed over it. As your finished floor continues to deteriorate, not only do you lose your substantial financial investment, but your floor becomes a breeding ground for dangerous mold and mildew.

SOLUTION: Kozy Floor Vapor Barrier

Kozy Floor Vapor Barrier is a sealed, durable plastic substrate installed directly on top of your concrete basement floor and is designed to prevent air and moisture from passing through to your finished floor. This creates a dry environment necessary to ensure the finished floor you install will last.

PROBLEM:
A cold and damp basement floor.

The primary cause of a cold and damp basement floor is the result of the poor insulation properties of concrete. Concrete is a porous material that allows cold vapor transmission from the soil below through to your basement floor above.

SOLUTION: Kozy Floor Vapor Barrier

The Kozy Floor Vapor Barrier is a sealed, durable plastic substrate that is installed directly on top of your concrete basement floor. The Kozy Floor creates a barrier to ensure the cold is not transferred to your finished flooring above, increasing the warmth of the finished basement. This allows the floor to have a warm and Kozy feel similar to that of the upstairs living environment in your home.
