All About Basement Finishing Some Useful Tips For Remodelling Your Basement | Page 10

• • • 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.
