Rated 5 out of 5 by from Watch those measurements!!! Be careful calculating your quantity to purchase - although advertised as 2 Ft X 2 Ft, these excellent units are only 22-1/2 inches square, and then you lose 1/4 inch for the T&G, so you get only 22-1/4 inch actual coverage. This gives 495 sq in coverage per tile, not the 576 you would expect with a 2 Ft sizing. Calculate quantity accordingly because this is a full 14% difference. A floor that would need 80 tiles at 2 Ft X 2 Ft will actually need 91 of these tiles. If you are wondering about this actually being metric, forget it - the coverage is 56.5 cm on a side, so not much easier to calculate that way either. Still - a really god product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It's as easy as everyone says! I'm a single mom homeowner and I try to do as many projects around the house on my own as I can. I used this when I added a wall to enclose a slab floor mudroom on the front of my house. I was able to cut & install this subflooring completely on my own! The job went very smooth and quick! I had the subfloor installed in about an hour (the room is only 10x8) and the waterproof laminate flooring installed with no additional prep work right on top. That took only about two and half hours to complete. I did this job nearly 3 years ago and I am so pleased with the ease & warmth it has provided that I'm now pricing it out to do the basement.

Problem: I wanted to put a vinyl plank floor down in my basement and I didn't want it to be cold. I had initially planned on adding radiant heat, but the basement was plenty warm without additional heat (except for the floor). I was beginning to think I would need foamboard insulation covered with a subfloor, which was going to add a lot of height to the floor and cost to the project. Soltion: Dricore panels! These are super quick and easy to install, can go right on top of the concrete, and offer an air buffer between the concrete and finished floor. I highly recommend them for anyone who wants to finish their basement.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Two Batches - Different Heights and Colour Purchased 200 panels from HD for my basement. Delivered as one factory wrapped skid with another skid on top with the balance of the 200 panels neatly stacked. What I discovered midway through the job was that the tiles were a different colour (which I wasn't concerned about as I'm laying luxury vinyl plank over the subfloor) but worse, they had different finished heights. I didn't really want to disassemble all my work, so now I stuck trying to sand out the height difference where the mismatched panels join. Before I started the project I started the project, I contacted the manufacturer on another matter and they were fabulous to deal with. I like the company, but it would be difficult to recommend the product given my experience. MAKE SURE YOU GET PANELS FROM SAME BATCH!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Buyer beware. About one month ago the company decided to make all their panels at least 3/16th inch thinner. I recently had situation where do to a flood I had to replace about 10 panels in the low spot of my basement sub floor. Although the new panels do interlock with the old ones, they end up floating about 1/8th inch off the floor and the tops are 1/8 th inch less than adjoining panels. And I noticed all Home Depots (I checked 3) pulled their old stock of dricore So due to the combined efforts of dricore and Home Depot I now have a not stable and not level subfloor in my basement.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Dry core not like it use to be Our entire basement was covered with dry core about 10 yrs ago.We recently discovered a section had some mold, so we pulled it up and bought new to replace the old in this section. The new tile is not the same dimensions as the old stuff. Of course it is much thinner and the tongue and grove is also thinner. Therefore to replace a small area meant ripping up the entire thing. So we tried our best to abate the mould and reused the old, we shall be returning this as soon as the store reopens. I really dislike when manufacturers do this, of course they do it to save a buck, but I shall not be buying any.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Product Transforming my basement into a new living space and in a few hours I had a clean dry subfloor to put my laminate on. I was also able to frame my new walls on top of it without worrying about going into the concrete. Very easy to install with a hammer and prybar. Wonderful product. Telling everyone about it. Only con was the price. Still cheaper than replacing a floor ruined without it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent way to finish a basement floor I used this product in my 800 square foot basement development and it was fantastic. Unfortunately, when I went back for extra I ended up with a different brand and I can therefore tell you that although they look the same you should not be fooled. DriCore was a snap to put together, easy to work with and with a top quality finish. The other product was a pain to work with and of inferior quality. If you are looking to do a sub floor in your basment (which you should if you want it to be warm and usable), throw out the plans for the 8' x 4' sheets, insulation and studs. Safe yourself a bunch of time and hassle by using this instead.

Can I build a new wall on top of this product can I install over concrete and frame the area on top ?
Asked by: Will
Making Interior walls • An interior stud wall can be set right on top of your new Subfloor and is in fact, the preferred method of installation. Install your 2X4 frame directly on top of the subfloor, measuring for a "snug" fit between the subfloor and ceiling. • Once the frame is in position, simply screw the bottom plates of the 2X4 frame to the Subfloor panels, using 2" wood screws. To finish the anchoring process, we suggest fastening the bottom plate to the concrete floor using either 3" concrete nails or concrete fasteners. • Only minimal fastening to the concrete is required. For example, for every 8' length of base plate, install only two concrete anchors. Note: If you are planning to use metal studs in place of wood, the base track for the studs should be affixed to the Subfloor panels with 5/8" wood screws as a maximum. Metal stud base plates should be anchored in concrete every 2' when installing over Subfloor panels.

I would say no this sub floor needs a level base that is solid and some plastic shims may be needed to level them

Last I knew if you multiply the length (2) times (x) width (2) you get square feet (4) Although with the Tongue & Groove it ends up a little less.

I believe you could but my only question would be air movement and would it act like a vapor barrier and trap moisture between layers

what happens if a basement wall would leak again after the new dricore subfloor was laid
Asked by: butch
once you put some type of flooring on top of this subfloor its just like any other floor. My basement did not have any "leaks", this added air space between the concrete and my finished floor to eliminate any condensation type moisture.

I understand the product needs 1/4" around to breathe....how does that impact mouldings around the room?

I've never used the product but want to lay on slab above grade room with ice cold concrete during winter. Wouldn't the mouldings seal that air gap?
Asked by: Kate
Dear Kate: DriCore is designed for wet / damp basement floors, not as insulation for an above-grade floor. The best option for insulating an above grade slab is Foamular 250 foam board, which provides R-5 insulation per inch of thickness plus 25 PSI of 'compressive strength', which is ideal for use under or over residential concrete slabs. If possible, use 2" thick panels for R-10. Seal all of the joints and edges to block air leaks. DAP 230 works well for joints and small gaps. Use the 'Window and Door' version of Great Stuff spray foam for large gaps, e.g. around the perimeter. See: Foamular 250 Model # 52DD, Home Depot Internet #202085962 Store SKU #307101, DAP 230 Model # 7079818273, Home Depot Internet #202518791 Store SKU #152319 and Great Stuff Window and Door Model # 99053990, Home Depot Internet #206983874 Store SKU #1001869291 Then install 3/4" plywood over the top of the Foamular 250 as the subfloor for your new flooring. Orient the plywood sheets 90 degrees from the orientation of the foam board, so the seams do not line up. Leave a 1/2" gap around the perimeter to allow for expansion. Again, carefully seal all of the joints and edges to block air leaks, with DAP 230 and Great Stuff Window and Door. This will obviously raise the level of the floor, requiring new floor molding and adjustments to the height of doors etc. I hope this is helpful, Mark

Yes, you can. the osb face of the panel will accept the glue (if used) of the vinyl plank flooring. I am a general contractor and used it with a wood floating floor that was glued together. Great stuff, dricore.

Can peel & stick carpet squares be used on DRICORE? Concerns are over time, how well will these stay stuck down to the wood? Not impressed with peel & stick carpet, but because of the Covid-19, we can install carpet squares ourselves, minimizing risks!

We did over a year ago and they are still down we used xtra glue tho.
