Bamboo Flooring: Wood floors are quite popular, but if you are worried
about damage caused by moisture, you may consider putting your money
on bamboo flooring. High moisture levels can cause problems in most
basements, and that is where bamboo will work great because it is highly
water-resistant and looks good at the same time. It is likely to hold
structure integrity better and longer than other wood floor options. It would
not bow, buckle, or show gaps as well. You simply need to hire an
installer who would glue it to your concrete subfloor.
Laminate Flooring: In case you are interested in doing your basement
flooring on your own, you may look no further than laminate flooring. It is
even better to opt for melamine-infused laminate because it resists water
and works great in basements where moisture levels may be a cause for
concern. Melamine is actually a moisture-resistant additive that is used
after mixing into the high-density fiberboard.
Engineered Wood: It is usually made by adding the veneer over layers of
other wood. Using engineered wood is yet another good way to cover
your basement floor in an efficient way because it tends to maintain its
structural integrity over time. Another good thing is that you can find it in a
large range of styles and colors.
