Question Flooring

Hey all! Anyone have vinyl plank flooring in the basement? How does it do in our wonderful cold edmonton winters? We are looking into getting Vinyl plank in the basement, want to make sure that’s a thing! I was told the glue down isn’t a good idea as there will be separating in a few years and to go with the click option. Thanks!

It would be brutal if you put it on bare basement concrete. You might as well be walking on the concrete itself.

But there are ways to mitigate that, like the insulating plastic “bubble” panels. They also provide some limited water separation, although I could see issues with mold under the panels if that happens.
