I thought those new foam-backed carpets were just a cheap gimmick, but a job in a Denver condo building changed my mind.

Yeah, I was totally in that same boat. They just felt like a shortcut, you know? Like they were cutting corners to save a buck. But then I helped my sister install one in her basement and the difference is crazy. It's so much warmer underfoot and it feels solid, not cheap at all. Completely changed my mind too.

WARMER in a BASEMENT? No way.

My sister's basement floor used to feel like walking on ice in the winter. The idea that a floating floor could actually make it warmer is what gets me. I always assumed they were just thin and cold. You're telling me the insulation layer really works that well? I might have to take a second look at them for our sunroom.
