Breezeway Space
by
Dan Kosko
(IC: )
Hi, I have a Cape Cod style house that has an enclosed breezeway from the garage to the house itself. In the breezeway we have windows and a very thin "carpet" on top of a concrete floor. My wife and I are thinking of making it into a mudroom with laminate tile, but aren't sure if we need to put anything down underneath the tile to absorb moisture. Looking forward to hearing your responses, thanks!

Sara Mahan on Aug 15, 2013I would paint or stain the concrete. There are lots of tutorials and photos online if you do a search. This technique looks awesome and probably same $$ and time to do as tile.Helpful Reply

Bordeaux Construction Services on Aug 19, 2013Short of sealing the floor with a clear sealer thats about all you can do. Normally a vapor barrier of polyethelene 6 mil thick is put down. Do this test cut a 24"x24" of poly duck tape all sides to the floor for 48 hours and see if there is any moisture/condensation coming up thru the concrete.Helpful Reply
