        Basement Flooring Options and Ideas

 

 

Choosing basement flooring can be like choosing a new pair of shoes - you have to pick the one that looks and feels just right. Here, we help you make the tough decisions. Just as if you were choosing floor coverings for your living room or kitchen spaces, there are several options available when it comes to basement flooring.

 

  

It is first important to decide the purpose of your basement. If you will be using the space primarily as storage area, then you may want to consider an epoxy coating for the space. Not only is this a budget-friendly option for improving the appearance of your basement, but epoxy floor coating comes in a multitude of colors and designs. This allows for a multifunctional space that is resistant to spills and messes that are common in basements.

Garage Flooring.

 Garage floor epoxy coating is the first choice for many homeowners. If you are one of these homeowners, you know that cleaning the epoxy is important in order to preserve the qualities that made you choose it. This should not be a problem because epoxy floors are quite easy to clean. If you spot any mold that needs to be cleaned, you will need to get some basic items. These items are a scraper, a sanding sponge and a scraper.

 

You will begin by wearing the gloves, which aim to protect your hands when you are removing any rust stains from the floor. Then, you will get the scraper and use the blade in order to gently scrape the epoxy floor to remove the mold. You have to make sure that you scrape along any existing debris. It is important not to use the scraper perpendicularly on the floor. After finishing the scrapping process, it is the time to use the sanding sponge to sand the stain until it disappears completely.  While using the sponge, it is essential to work along the same patterns and never cross these patterns with each other.

 

 

 After the floor is sanded with the sponge, you will start cleaning the debris by using a soft, dry, clean cloth. You can also choose to apply an epoxy finishing material but you have to be careful, as you will have to get one that has the same exact color as the floor. Apply a very thin and an even coat over the sanded area. Leave it to dry before applying a 2nd layer if needed. If you applied an epoxy finish, you have to make sure that it is dry before stepping on it so it does not smudge.
The benefits of using such flooring are countless. For starters, the floors have an outstanding ability to absorb shock because of their elasticity; this makes it quite popular among a lot of homeowners who usually use this kind of flooring in the garage. This is because the garage is one of the places that suffer from high car traffic and foot traffic. Another advantage is that tire marks do not stick to the epoxy flooring, unlike regular concrete flooring. By following the simple cleaning process that was mentioned above, you can get rid of these tire marks in no time.
