Flooring Down Under
moistURE, moiSTURE, MOISTURE!!
Even basements that are "dry" run the risk of excess moisture. For this reason alone, much thought should be put into the selection of basement flooring. However, beyond the issue of moisture, there are other considerations: allergies, comfort, warmth, and maintenance.
I look for flooring options that are durable, low maintenance, and stands up well to water. While my preferences are fairly narrow, each flooring option offers a variety of styles.
Tile - Porcelain and Ceramic
Tile is versatile. It can look like wood.
Tile an take on an "old world" feel.
Or, the look can be utterly modern. Pair it with rugs for warmth and comfort.
Concrete
Concrete can be stained.
The stains can be applied in patterns.
In addition to staining, concrete can be scored to create a unique look.
Marmoleum
Let your imagination run wild with this durable and eco-friendly flooring.
It comes in both tiles and sheets.
Flor Carpet Tiles
If you must have carpet, consider Flor carpet squares
They come in a variety of colors and patterns. However, if allergies are a consideration, carpet squares may not be the way to go.
