Flooring in Your Basement
-
Combine floor types
It isn’t necessary to stick to just one type of flooring in the basement - flooring can mark the different purposes each area serves. -
Stay warm with carpeting
Not only will carpet keep your feet warm in a cold basement, but it also adds a level of soundproofing. -
Use ceramic tiles
Basements are prone to mold and mildew, which is why ceramic tiles are a great option as they are water resistant and highly durable. -
Protect the basement from moisture
The basement can be a damp area, which is not ideal no matter how you intend to use it. Seal the floor to prevent moisture from seeping in. -
Heat your flooring
In the winter, the weather can be harsh and the house cold. By installing heated floors, your feet will stay warm no matter what.
