Epoxy Flooring in Haddon Township, NJ
The Challenge: Water Damage and Old Flooring Removal
The customer’s basement in Haddon Township had old laminate flooring that was damaged by a water leak. After removing the damaged floor, she wanted a solution that would not only be durable but also aesthetically pleasing. Laminate, while popular, isn’t ideal for basements because they are prone to moisture. The goal was to find a flooring solution that could withstand moisture and daily use, especially in a space used for gym equipment.
Our Recommendation: Vinyl Flake Flooring with Moisture Vapor Barrier
We recommended our vinyl flake epoxy flooring system paired with a moisture vapor barrier. This combination is perfect for basements because it offers:
- Moisture Protection: The vapor barrier prevents moisture from seeping through the concrete pores, protecting the floor from future water damage.
- Durability: The epoxy layer is tough enough to withstand heavy gym equipment and foot traffic.
- Aesthetic Appeal: The flakes create a visually appealing, textured surface that adds depth and color to the floor, far superior to plain concrete or damaged laminate.
The Two-Phase Installation Process
- Phase 1: We completed one half of the basement floor first, applying the moisture barrier and vinyl flake epoxy system.
- Curing: We let the first side fully cure to ensure maximum adhesion and durability.
- Phase 2: We proceeded with the second half of the basement.
This approach allowed the customer to keep the gym equipment in the basement.
Stunning Final Results
The final result is a basement floor that is not only functional but also attractive. The vinyl flake epoxy coating adds a modern look with its speckled texture and glossy finish, while the moisture vapor barrier provides long-term protection against moisture.
This project is a great example of how tailored solutions can transform a basement space into something both practical and stylish.
