inexpensive basement flooring options
Comments (22)I'm leaning towards painted/stained floors with throw rugs. I know it's cold but fun can be had with all the acid staining type swirly colors (can be more subtle or as wild as you like) and if you get the right kind it's not going to have issues. Depending on how all else is decorate or designed, it can be appropriate looking for an old look, a mid-century look, a loft or industrial look or just something plain modern. It won't be warm and a glass cup could shatter but with a few cool throw rugs, some heat added in some form or another and attention drawn elsewhere, it *can* be a relatively inexpensive and trendy solution that's durable, mildew-free and doesn't hide scary stuff. It also doesn't add hight. You can even have lines drawn on it that make it look like wooden planks or tile (!). Here are some examples of stained floors: http://www.stainedconcrete.org/gallery1colors.html...See MoreInexpensive hardwood flooring for kitchen...
Comments (2)I did a lot of research and found that I got a the best deal on my hardwood flooring at www.floormingo.com. They had great customer service and good follow-up.

Comments (5)With the IC cans you can put insulation in the ceiling. However, with an existing ceiling the only way to do it without tearing it down is to have blown in insulation installed. This will definitely help cut the sound, but won't do much to cut the transmission of low frequency sound (bass) from the tv, especially if you have a surround system down there and like to turn it up. The only way to effectively do that is to install another layer of drywall on the ceiling with an acoustic damping glue in between (like Green Glue). It just depends on how much trouble you want to go to. Also, cutting the holes for the cans will make it tougher to block the sound effectively. Sound is like water if there's a way for it to get through, it will do so....See More- 8 years ago
