People with older houses generally have a great deal of affection for their homes. In fact, the homes are almost part of the family, in and of themselves.”

Flooring for Basements
An issue, however, with many older homes, is it’s often impossible to finish the basement space because of damp or especially uneven floors. Building practices of a past era coupled with time and the elements have limited how the basement can be used.
A Natural Option: Nature Stone®
“Nature Stone® can help homeowners reclaim an area of their home by having a great floor that functions in the environment,” says Szekeres. “Recently, we helped a homeowner add 400 square feet of livable space which they used as a bedroom, living room and a finished laundry area as a result of installing a floor that worked in their basement. The house was built in 1912 and the cement floor was extremely uneven and pitted and they had problems with seepage. With Nature Stone® we were able to fix their problem.
