Flooring For Your Basement
When you go to choose Flooring for your basement, you need to take many things into consideration. Not only do you have to choose a floor that looks good, you also have to consider the environment and how this will affect the material you choose. This is especially true for the basement as excess moisture is often a problem. You have to ensure that the floors will not become damaged and that mold and moisture will not develop as this can lead to serious health problems. If you find that moisture is a problem, this needs to be corrected before you proceed.
Vinyl Flooring and linoleum are both good options when it comes to basement flooring. Many are now choosing to go with vinyl planks. Lowes offers Surface Source 6" X 36" Classic Chestnut Vinyl Plank, model #LP466181. Priced at only $37.76 for a 24 Sq. Ft. carton, these planks do not require any adhesive as they come with a factory applied adhesive strip. The planks bond together securely and you can have your new floor installed in no time at all.
Engineered hardwood floors are a better choice than traditional hardwood ones as they are more resistant to humidity. Home Depot offers Global 7 Maple 3/8 In. Thick X 5 In. Wide Random Length Engineered Hardwood Flooring, model #IMMCF5E2HS. Priced at only $4.57 a square foot, this floor will bring class and warmth to your basement. Each plank is sculpted in random lengths to make for an attractive covering and maple is very durable. As these floors are kiln dried, you don't have to worry about your floors curling over time.

Don't overlook porcelain and ceramic tiles for your floors. Home Depot also offers MARAZZI Terra 12 in. X 12 in. Topaz Ice Porcelain Floor and Wall Tile, model #UJCF. Priced at $1.64 a square foot, this Flooring option features a glazed finish that feels smooth to the touch. Not only can this tile be used on the floor, you can also use it on walls or counters to complete the look of the room. As it is very resistant to abrasion, it is a perfect choice for the basement which most likely sees a lot of wear. Consider all options to get the perfect floor for the basement of your home. |
