Transforming a space can start from the ground up. In Glastonbury, CT, we took on the exciting project of revitalizing a basement by removing the old, worn-out carpet and replacing it with sleek Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring.
The removal of the existing carpet was an essential first step. It was past its prime and needed to go so we could lay the foundation for something fresher and far more durable. With the carpet out of the way, we prepped the area to ensure a smooth, sturdy subflooring that would maximize the life and performance of our new LVP installation.
While the sturdy and aesthetically pleasing appearance of LVP flooring was a selling point, its installation had its complexities. Precision was key. The puzzle-like alignment demanded careful attention to detail to avoid any gaps or misalignment. Each plank was fitted meticulously, reinforcing the space's structural integrity and visual appeal.
Working in a basement has its own set of challenges, such as managing moisture levels and ensuring proper underlayment to prevent any future issues. We selected an underlayment that not only provides a moisture barrier but also adds a cushion, enhancing the floor's feel underfoot and maximizing sound reduction.
Finishing touches included trimming excess materials and ensuring seamless transitions to adjoining rooms. The result was a flawless fusion of beauty and practicality. It's gratifying to see the transformation and imagine the space now hosted gatherings, hobbies, or simply day-to-day living with such polished surroundings.
At Alvarenga's Empire Renovation, we pride ourselves on our expertise and craftsmanship, bringing each project to life with care and precision. This Glastonbury basement is now a testament to what quality flooring can do—reshaping a room from the ground up.
