What Are The Best Basement Floating Tile Options?

Max Tile Raised Floor Tile

If you are looking for a modern, designer look, then be sure to check out our Max Tile. It is perfect for those who are looking to get the luxury look of hardwood or stone, with waterproof features, at an affordable price. Our vinyl tile will not wear down or come apart due to damp conditions, making it the perfect flooring solution for basements. Minimizing maintenance and upkeep costs, this tile also boasts a UV protective coating, is scratch-resistant and wear-resistant, and will never need refinishing. Choose from many different wood and stone colors to match your style, including maple, light oak, dark oak, cherry, soft gray, or slate.

Basketball Court Tile Gym Floor Pro

Our Basketball Court Tile Gym Floor Pro is great for a basement gym or any room that may get damp and/or have heavy foot traffic. It has a .05 mm wear layer compared to the .03 on the Max Tile. This is a small variation, but it could make a big difference in longevity if you use it in areas such as a basement gym or sports court.

StayLock Orange Peel

For a softer, more impact-absorbing basement floor ideal for aerobics or gym activities, check out our StayLock Orange Peel or StayLock Bump Top basement flooring options; both are raised tiles. Made of nonabsorbent, soft PVC, they are flexible and comfortable for workouts and floor exercises. Like the other floating basement flooring products mentioned above, they can be easily installed and removed if needed. These products are available in recycled content in black as well as in other designer colors.

Top 6 Reasons To Use Floating Tiles For Your Basement

1. Air can freely circulate throughout the room, helping to prevent the growth of mold and mildew from the lingering wetness that many basements suffer from.
2. They are non-absorbent, and some are even chemical, grease, and oil proof.
3. They often have anti-fatigue benefits with flexible surfaces.
4. Those intended for use outdoors or wet areas are perforated, to avoid standing water and to maximize safety while preventing slipperiness.
5. They combine resilience, bounce, and stability for an ideal dancer or workout location.
6. If needed or desired, they can be removed and relocated, then stored until ready for your next basement flooring idea.
