Top Choices for Flooring When it Comes to Finishing Your Basement
Remodeling your basement is an exciting project. You are literally creating an additional room inside your Spokane home.
However, as with a variety of other home remodeling projects, finishing your basement has a lot of components. One of those is flooring and you need to know a little about your best options so that you can make a good choice:
- Ceramic Tile – This is a popular choice because it can go directly on the concrete and it is unaffected by moisture. You have plenty of options for styles and colors to choose from, making it ideal for customization.
- Epoxy Coating – Also available in a variety of colors and styles, this is also waterproof. Like tile, it is hard but you can offset this with throw rugs.
- Vinyl Flooring – Vinyl can go directly over concrete and can provide some cushioning. This is a popular choice because it can withstand moisture or even minor flooding. Although moderately priced, if you are willing to invest more you can find selections that even look like wood, stone or tile.
Working with the Pros
Of course, you can still use conventional options like carpet. However, since basements are prone to moisture, you have to plan accordingly.
Some homeowners opt to raise the floor and add a waterproof sub-floor. Others simply install a vapor barrier under the flooring.
