Basements present a lot of challenges. Here are four things to think about:

1. Hard concretes or hardwood flooring: Try to soften the surface for a more comfortable living space or fitness area with a foam or rubber mat or flexible plastic tiles.
   
2. Noise: Seek out noise buffering qualities in rubber mats for concrete floors, as cements tend to echo noises.
   
3. Prone to moisture: Condensation, drainage, and runoff are common causes for moisture headaches, so raised floorings are ideal here.
