basement gamble
as stated earlier in this thread without a history you really have no idea what is going to happen. It sounds like what the builder is offering is great in regards to keeping temperature changes to a minimum, but I do not believe that there is any type of moisture benefit with the product you mentioned.
What are the soil conditions in the area?
sand
clay
etc
Does everyone in your area have basements? Do they have issues with water finding its way in?
Has the builder done what they should of in regards to making the outside of the basement water tight? And are there drainage pipes all the way around the foundation to help bring any type of water that is trying to get in away from the basement?
All items to take into account.
safe wau to test it out is to install something that will not break the bank it it does fail
Example..... textured vinyl has teh same appearance as engineered hardwoods when installed properly
Good luck
