A finished basement is appealing to many homeowners, and those looking for a new renovation project. There are so many things that go into a basement, and one is overlooked more than the rest -- your floors. When building a basement, many people opt for carpeted or tile floors, but who’s to say wood can’t go down there? In many basements, the lack of windows can create a dark atmosphere, but wood helps alleviate this look.
They’re Tasteful
A majority of basements nowadays contain carpet, and while that’s softer, it’s rather outdated. Many modern homes have begun making the switch from carpet to wood, creating a contemporary look that compliments the rest of the house. In addition to tasteful color options, it’s easier to clean!
Engineered Works Best
In reality, some engineered hardwood options are cheaper than carpet, and traditional flooring options. Because they snap together easily, installation isn’t hard, and is very quick. Not only this, but they’re easily replaceable, and can be swapped out if your taste goes in another direction down the line.
Bamboo Is An Option
Because of the moisture in basements, bamboo flooring options can be great alternatives to other options as well. Because of their resiliency to changing climate, it makes them much more durable than some other options -- that doesn’t mean any are bad, it’s technically based on preference.
