Which flooring should I choose for my basement ?

Finishing the basement is a crucial step in completing your home . However , before you can install your new television or exercise equipment , there are a few things you need to do , such as cover the floor . There are several materials to choose from , including ceramic , vinyl and engineered wood . Which should you go with ? Here ’ s a comparison .

Ceramic Although typically expensive , ceramic has its advantages . It ’ s moisture resistant , tolerant of temperature extremes and waterproof , making it ideal if you live in a flood zone . Ceramic is also very durable but can be a bit cold on the feet .
Vinyl Flexible and easy to maintain , vinyl is highly moisture resistant . Additionally , you can easily install it yourself . Are you on a tight budget ? Vinyl is an affordable option . The only drawback is that it wears out more quickly than other flooring options .
Engineered wood Made of several layers of plywood with natural wood on top , engineered wood is less likely to warp than hardwood floors , which aren ’ t recommended for basements . Although often the most expensive solution , engineered wood offers a warm and distinguished finish .
Other materials are gaining popularity in basements . For example , cork provides excellent soundproofing , while laminate is available in various shades . Are you torn between several options ? Consult a flooring professional . They ’ ll help you find the right flooring for your style and budget . n
