Refinishing or refurbishing your basement is a big job that can
be costly and challenging. But gaining the added living space is
often valuable enough to warrant the effort. One of the most
important parts of redoing your basement is the floor. Whether
you are working with a concrete or wooden floor, you may want to
consider another type of flooring that will prove more durable
and easy to clean. When you are giving thought to which choice
will work best for your home, consider the following information
with respect to a file floor for your basement.
1. A tile floor is relatively inexpensive compared to other
types of flooring. Depending on the grade and style you buy, you
might be able to get the peel-and-stick brand that you can lay
down yourself instead of hiring it done. This will suit not only
your wallet but your schedule, since it can be done in stages,
as you have the time, and perhaps with the help of a friend or

more, for a richer or more polished look, depending on
your plans for the basement's use.
2. Tile is replaceable, so if one or more pieces should get
stained, chipped, or torn, you can take them up and lay down new
ones at your convenience. Instead of waiting for a service call
from someone who only works weekends for double-time pay, you
can do it yourself in time for the next party or family
get-together.

much about spilled beverages, pet accidents, or muddy shoes
tracking through. Just fill a bucket with hot water and mild
detergent, or whatever the tile manufacturer's directions
suggest, and mop up dirt, dust, and debris in a few minutes'
time.
4. Tile is easily changed. If you get tired of the design and
want to change it, or decide to put down carpet when you get an
unexpected monetary windfall, you can make the switch fairly

which makes it easier than taking up the old and
putting down the new floor covering.
5. Tile patterns are versatile. You can choose a basic monotone
color to blend in with neutral surroundings. Or buy a
contemporary design to turn your basement into a family
recreation room. A more sedate, intricate pattern provides a
nice floor covering for a room that will become your den or a
spare bedroom. Throw down a few accent rugs (the non-skid
variety) and enjoy the brand new look.
Floor tile can take a pretty rough beating from shoe scuffs,
equipment scrapes, and running back and forth, if you have kids.

your basement in whatever décor you like, and then let the games
begin!
