ComfortBase
ComfortBase® is a resilient board that cushions hard concrete, yet is structural
and durable enough for heavy traffic and moving furniture. The single-ply
concrete flooring system is perfect for finishing basements or improving
concrete slab floors, increasing the floor surface temperature with twice
the insulation of wood, and reducing foot, leg and back pain caused by
standing, sitting or walking on concrete floors. The uniquely engineered
bottom surface provides a built-in ventilation system, which allows concrete
to breath naturally without causing panels to curl or bow.
ComfortBase is easy to apply over concrete floors; following our float
method for installation under carpet and pad eliminates the need for stubborn
mechanical fasteners. Comfort Base may be also used with laminate floors,
following manufacturers installation instructions.
