Basement Sub floor Panels – Are they worth it?
In this episode I will go over the installation process for insulated sub floor panels and cover some of the pros and cons on including this in your renovation or basement development. I will also share how much of a floor surface temperature difference was made by installing these dri-core insulated panels.

Great video, thanks! Buying a house with unfinished basement, no water issues but like to be safe. Did you compare using these dri core panels versus installing the plastic dimpled sheet product like Platon, then tongue and groove panels over that? Wasn't sure if price would be better?
Did you anchor each panel to concrete with screws?
Installed floating amdry subfloor on solid concrete slab with required gap to outside wall. Installed Pre finished solid 3 inch maple wood flooring in top nailed to subfloor. HUGE I mean huge buckling up problem - doors no longer close etc. Any ideas or suggestions as to what’s going on?
Another con, and the reason I'm going to just lay my vinyl plank on the slab, is the stairs. Unless the stairs were built with a sub floor in mind ahead of time, raising the floor will make that bottom step shorter than the others, and where I am it will not pass inspection. So if I do a sub floor, I'm also ripping out a staircase and building new.
Great video.
My basement is NOT currently framed out. Ive read its best to add the subfloor and then frame on top of that. What are your thoughts on that? Thanks in advance.
Should I dry lock my floor before putting a sub floor ?
talk about basement flooding. Does this help?
Gonna do this in my mudroom, very helpful!
Can you build walls on top of the subfloor or should the walls be built first?
