Max Tile Floating Flooring System
One of the most popular and versatile floating floor options is Max Tile Raised Floor Tile. This product works well in any area of the home, office, or workout studio. It has a beautiful, commercial grade vinyl surface that creates the look of a shiny hardwood floor without the need to ever be refinished.
These raised floor tiles combine performance and durability and allow air to flow underneath. This can help avoid the growth of mildew and mold when and if water is present, and provide a thermal insulative benefit due to the air pocket beneath the vinyl surface. For an extra layer of cushioned comfort, a 3 mm rubber floor underlayment can be added - which also offers sound buffering and additional insulative qualities.
Raised Stone Series Floor Tiles
The HomeStyle Vinyl stone series tile is another versatile floating floor option. These tiles come in many designer colors and patterns and can be installed over any sub-floor. The vinyl top surface texture provides a safe, non-slip option that is comfortable, stylish, durable, and more affordable than real stone. This product is ideal for entrances, living rooms, dens, offices, senior/adult living spaces, bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens.
Carpet Floating Floor System
If a carpeted floating floor interests you, a great product that is waterproof and durable is a modular square carpet tile. This floating flooring type is made from recycled materials with a berber like carpet top.
The tiles are designed to handle high roll loads with their quality construction and are great for cold basement floors as they reduce transmission of cold temperatures from the subfloor through the carpet. Much like with traditional carpet, you will not feel the cold from the subfloor on the surface of the carpet.
Modular carpet squares are easy to snap together with nothing to glue down or nail into place. Because the floor is raised, if the subfloor gets wet, the carpet tiles will allow for airflow beneath and can be disassembled and re-installed as needed. The easy assembly process also makes the modular carpet tile a great option where a temporary floor is needed.

The tiles offer anti-fatigue benefits and help maintain traction and comfort - even when walking or standing on the tile with bare feet or when the surface is wet. These tiles are connected with a loop-and-tab system that creates a floating floor which will not loosen or separate. They are made in the USA, come in a variety of colors, and are waterproof. If you want high quality at an affordable price, these are a great option!
