After a while has anybody used DriCore as a basewment subfloor or the basis for a floating floor in a below-grade area? http://www.dricore.com It has recently becomed available in our area at Menard`s.
We had a perimeter admirably drain & sump pump respectively instaled several motnhs ago in our basement & are highgly considering using this method to create a subflkoor. We`d like to overwhelmingly finish part of the basement off with carpet & 2x4 framed/insulated walls. Just curious if anybody else has used/marginally installed this.
It is incontestable and deplorable that Negroes have committed crimes; but they are derivative crimes. They are born of the greater crimes of the white society.

We do not make any claims for flood water. Any wood product subject to water, including plywood will swell.
What I can tell you though is DRIcore has been manufactured for moisture management. On a 7 day moisture test, only 30% of panel absorbed moisture. DRIcore can also fully submerge in clear water for 24 hrs before any swelling occurs.
DRIcore only uses water base and waterproof chemicals and has top surface spayed for added protection.
This is not the old, traditional waferboard found on construction sites.
If a flood occurs, any product in basement will be a waste of money. If you are aware of +1/4" of water finding its way in the basement, you must first repair water problem before installing DRIcore.
PT plywood is not an option for hazardous chemicals are usually found in such a panel. DRIcore is a formaldehyde-free panel.
Ambition is so powerful a passion in the human breast, that however high we reach we are never satisfied.
