What is the best flooring in a basement?
* Depending on what the rooms will be used for there are many types of flooring suitable for the basement of your home. Fiberfloor is a great choice since it offers warmth, cushioning and can be laid down without gluing or nailing. Carpet squares or tiles are gaining in popularity and are a natural choice for the basement. These squares can be easily laid down by the homeowner and offer a wide variety of color combinations and patterns. If a square becomes damaged or soiled it is easily replaced. Hardwood floors are suitable for basements, engineered flooring is a floor that can be glued down to concrete or in higher moisture areas. This flooring has a thin layer of hardwood with a cross banded plywood base. This makes the flooring more stable and does not require nailing like a solid hardwood floor.
