Picking up a particular type of basement flooring is not an easy task. You need to be very careful about various factors such as the condition of your basement, the climate in your region, moisture and many others.
There are a number of options available; you need to research a lot prior to choosing any one option.
And, different people would have different requirements as well. Some of the best types of floors have been discussed here.
Vinyl Flooring
If you want something waterproof and that must be inexpensive as well, vinyl flooring would be the best option to go for. The Vinyl plank flooring is made up of plastic and yet gives the look of wooden flooring. Its installation and repairing is also very easy. Various designs are also available in this kind of flooring.
Ceramic and Porcelain Tiles
If you do not care about the budget, ceramic and porcelain tiles are a nice option. The major point that makes them popular is their beauty. They are waterproof and since they are in the form of tiles, repairing is easy. You need not worry is by some reason, any one or two tiles are damaged. Installation of such floors is time-consuming though.
Direct Coat of Cement
There are some people who do not want anything unique or beautiful in their basement. All they want is a proper moisture-resistant floor. For such people, the best option would be to apply a direct coat of cement in their basement. Such a floor would never warp or rot, and it has the advantage of being cheap too. Various colours can be used and designs could also be created in such floors.
Rubber Tiles
Rubber tiles are a nice option and these could be laid down on the floor of the basement no matter what is beneath it. They have a disadvantage associated with them that they are not water resistant. The tiles might have to be removed for a while in order to let the water dry. Walking on a floor made up of rubber tiles is very easy.
