3. Style Smart Riverside 18x18 Inch Carpet Tile
Carpet is a classic and inviting choice for basement entertainment rooms, offices, and bedrooms. At only around $1 per square foot, Style Smart Riverside Carpet Tiles are the most affordable way to achieve the look. Style Smart Riverside Carpet basement flooring not only makes carpet cheap but easy too. Each carpet tile has a peel-and-stick underside, which makes installation a breeze. Tiles adhere to any dry, clean, hard surface without budging. Carpet fibers are soft and eco-friendly, as they are made from 100% purified, recycled plastic bottles.
4. Foam Tiles Wood Grain
Foam Tiles Wood Grain are a classy alternative to other foam flooring. These tiles present the sleek look of dark wood and light wood. Yet, they have a soft and cushiony feel that can only be achieved with half an inch of EVA foam material. These basement flooring tiles are great for basement areas where aesthetics are just as important as feel. In addition, many basements are susceptible to moisture buildup, so it helps to utilize flooring that can be easily dried out if need be. With foam tiles, picking up and transporting tiles is just as simple as installing them.
Check out what Leah from Michigan has to say about Foam Tiles Wood Grain: ''I'm installing Greatmats foam floor tiles in my basement guest bedroom. The difference in the warmth is incredible. The concrete is cold, but as soon as you step on the Greatmats you feel an immediate difference in temperature. We have had water problems in the past in our basement. We wanted to go with Greatmats for the fact that its easy to install and easy to take back up if we do encounter water problems again.''
