What Is The Best Mold Resistant Flooring For Basements?

Basements tend to be homes for moisture. Moisture is a favorable condition for the growth of mold and mildew. As the mold grows, it releases spores into the air, which if inhaled in excess, can make people very sick. It can also cause irritation to one’s eyes and respiratory system. Not only that, it can cause very unpleasant odors, as well. In order for mold to grow, it needs moisture and something to grow on. So, if you want to eliminate or lessen the chances of mold growing, installing mold resistant flooring for basements is a great preventative measure.

Max Tile Raised Flooring is one of the best and most popular waterproof flooring solutions that is literally perfect for any area of a basement. These modular vinyl laminate tiles feature a raised design that allows for air flow and quick drying, which helps to prevent mold, mildew, and odor. It also acts as a natural thermal buffer created by the air pocket beneath the commercial grade vinyl surface.

This product is top notch, with upscale wood designs, scratch resistant finish, and ease of installation. It is often the first choice by many who are looking to install a superior product in their basement or any area of their house prone to moisture.



Royal Interlocking Carpet Tile is another product that is suitable for any area of the basement. It offers the warmth and comfort of traditional carpet in a solution that is waterproof and non-absorbent - preventing the unwanted growth of mold and bacteria. The tiles are constructed from a combination of durable carpeting and a soft closed foam base, which results in a solution that will endure foot traffic, furniture, and lots of play time.

If your basement is a place for kids to play and family to gather, this carpet tile is one of the best options for you. It can be installed directly on clean concrete or tile without using adhesive or an additional pad. It is odor proof, easy to clean, and offers anti-fatigue and insulation values similar to traditional plush carpet.



Premium Foam Mats can also be installed in an area of the basement where kids will play, or, in an area that will be used as a workout space. They provide basement floor insulation and can update an area of the basement from a dull, dreary one to a fun and vibrant one that is safe and comfortable. The EVA foam mats offer thermal insulation, noise suppression, and waterproof properties, and they are stain resistant and very durable with their thatch surface texture. They come in 15 vibrant colors and provide a ⅝ inch thickness to protect from bumps, bruises, and muscle strain and sprains.



Home BJJ Mats are another great solution for a basement workout or play space. Designed for martial arts, they feature a no burn surface and offer a 4 foot critical fall height rating. They are made of impact absorbing EVA foam material, so they provide superior support and protection. They are also waterproof, durable, and double sided, and they are small enough to allow for installation in tight areas of your basement.
