What Is The Best Carpet For Basements With Kids?

Basements are great spaces for kids to play, hang out, watch movies, and much more, and Greatmats offers the best carpet for basements including kids carpet tiles and squares and even roll up carpet mats.

When thinking of flooring for a basement that is used by kids, carpet may not have crossed your mind. Many basements can flood and are damp, and kids sometimes tend to be messy - both scenarios that make traditional carpet an unlikely choice.

Royal Interlocking Carpet Tile is a versatile and durable interlocking carpet that is perfect for a basement setting. It delivers the warmth and cushioned comfort that traditional carpet does.

The tops of these flooring squares have durable carpeting that is bonded to a soft closed foam base. The resulting carpet tile will stand up to foot traffic, furniture, and lots of use and play time. It’s waterproof and non-absorbent, so it helps to prevent the growth of unwanted mold, mildew, and bacteria. It also keeps odors at bay.

These interlocking carpet tiles can be installed directly on clean concrete or tile without using adhesive or an additional pad. The resulting floor is odor proof, easy to clean, and provides a comfortable surface on which to sit or stand. It offers anti-fatigue and insulation value similar to traditional carpet.



A Home Cheer Mat 5x10 Ft x 1-3/8 Inch may be a good solution if you just want a carpeted area or space for kids to play, tumble, or exercise on. They offer plenty of padding to keep your kiddos safe, measuring 1-3/8 inches thick with needle punch carpeting on top.
