Insulated Sub-Floor for Basements
Water Resistant
No need to replace them in case of water damage - just let them dry.
Fire Resistant
This material is non-flammable.
Impact Resistant
Requires fewer repairs and touch-ups.
Mold Resistant
Mold and mildew cannot develop due to their anti-microbial composition.
Termite Resistant
Termites and rodents do not feed off this inert material.
Stable
Their dimensional properties remain stable under a wide range of temperature and humidity variances.
Durable
Their homogenous composition does not allow for delamination, increasing their durability and resistance.
Soundproofing Properties
Due to their high density, the boards contribute to decreasing and attenuating sound transfer.
Structural Properties
No need for blocking - cabinets and other elements can be fixed directly to the wall and they can be used in structural assemblies.
