What Types of Concrete to use for your Basement

Basements are not the same to every home. Some families have entertainment basements with a bar or home movie theater while others use theirs for storage. If you need help deciding on a basement flooring solution you must first decide what exactly you are going to use the basement for. Here are some ideas:

Entertainment Room

If your basement is the hangout area of your home, it will require more appealing and “barefoot safe” flooring. This means that your concrete floor should have a smooth resin overlay so it is comfortable to walk on without shoes and socks. One of the best options for this type of basement is Metallika. Metallika creates a beautiful marble effect and luxury-looking design that will perfectly complement any entertainment basement.

WorkShop

Next up is the classic dad workshop. This type of basement requires a more wear-and-tear resistant flooring, but just because it is durable does not mean it has to be ugly. Mosaic floors are made up of epoxy and color chips blends to make a beautiful pattern. This flooring solution is extremely durable making it perfect for workshop floors! Mosaic flooring is also easy to sweep and mop making the clean-up time much easier than a standard concrete floor with grates. 

Gym

To all you gym lovers out there that have or want a home gym in their basement, we have a solution for you as well! Color floors are the classic weight room floors you see, so they must work right?
