Basement floors are cold and damp. The cement retains the cold and when the warm, moist air from your home meets the cold cement, a damp, 'sweaty' condition is created. The typical solution for a basement floor is to strap and lay in Styrofoam or underpad and carpet. OvrX insulated flooring tiles are a logical solution for this condition. Testing has shown OvrX products were as much as 300 % better than other products at insulating your home from the cold cement

OvrX tiles are OSB (oriented strand board) construction and are approximately 2 feet square. They have 2 sides with tongue and 2 sides with grooves. There is no nails or glue needed to install an OvrX floor. The Styrofoam SM™, attached to the tile has grooves cut in it both ways to allow free movement of air or moisture under you floor.

Many steps can be taken to help reduce scratches on a wood floor. First, you can put throw rugs down in any high traffic areas such as in entryways, in front of your sink or refrigerator, or down a highly traveled hallway. One of the best things you can do is dust, sweep or mop on a regular basis to keep any dirt or debris from collecting on the surface or the floor. You can also put felt pads under the legs of any chairs or tables. See similar questions...
