Why Do You Need DRICORE® Certiguard™?
If you’re preparing to install new flooring, especially over concrete, you’re likely asking yourself one critical question: What’s the best foundation for long-lasting, comfortable floors? Whether you’re renovating a basement, upgrading your main level or finishing a rental suite, the answer lies in a premium underlayment like DRICORE® Certiguard™.
Let’s dive into why this game-changing underlayment for floors is a top choice for DIYers and contractors alike.
Concrete Floors Are Tough – Certiguard™ Makes Them Better
Concrete is porous, cold and unforgiving. It constantly absorbs and releases moisture, which can compromise the integrity of your finished floors if not properly managed. Beyond moisture, concrete’s dense, uninsulated surface also results in cold, noisy and uncomfortable flooring.
That’s where DRICORE Certiguard™ steps in.
This premium underlayment provides:
– A moisture barrier that protects against the dampness concrete emits
– A thermal break that makes floors up to 6°C/10°F warmer
– Sound reduction for quieter, more comfortable living spaces (IIC 73)
Air Gap Technology: The Heart of Certiguard™
Unlike traditional rolled underlayments, Certiguard™ is an advanced underlayment for floors featuring exclusive Air Gap Technology; a system of raised bumps that promotes positive airflow beneath your flooring. This continuous ventilation helps prevent moisture buildup, mold, and mildew, extending the life of your flooring system.
If you’ve ever dealt with cold, musty basements, you’ll notice the difference.
Easy DIY Installation – No Tape, No Power Tools, No Mess
Time is money – and Certiguard™ is designed with that in mind. Certiguard features an overlapping design that eliminates the need for taping joints. Installation is quick, clean and can be completed in just a few hours.
– Cuts easily with a utility knife
– No power tools required
– Leaves behind no sawdust or debris
– Ideal for basement renovations, main floor upgrades or floor padding for new builds
