1. Raised Tiles for Home Theatre Flooring
If you have decided to transform an open area of your basement, a raised or floating floor is among the best in home theatre flooring ideas.
Not only does this vinyl laminate flooring look really nice, it performs amazingly well in a basement environment, because it allows for air circulation beneath it. These tiles are designed to prevent mildew and mold as they will not trap moisture. This natural circulation promotes a dry, healthy environment.
In drier areas, a 2 to 6mm rubber underlayment helps to provide excellent shock absorption and comfort. This will also help insulate the floor. If leaks could occur then you wouldn’t want the underlayment, as you’d want water to be able to drain or dry.
This flooring is available in a variety of designer patterns, and the top features a UV protective coating and wear layer that will prevent scratches and divots. This type of tile will not need refinishing or maintenance, and will provide years of beauty in your basement home theatre. Learn more about this Max Tile raised flooring features here.
