In Basement Looking for extra living space? Look into the basement. Basement areas can often be converted into family room or other uses, with a minimum df remodeling. Paneling quickly transforms walls and ceilings. For floors, the solution could be: Carpet them! Modern developments make carpeting both a speedy and practical answer for basement floor covering needs. New indoor/ outdoor carpeting resists moisture, mildew, stains, and won't shrink or fade. This type of carpeting is highly wear resistant and is easy to clean. It can even be installed on porch or patio, or at poolside as well. For basement floors, the car-, pet can be laid directly over concrete. However, a latex foam rubber underlay will provide additional cushioning and insulation. The carpeting used for basements is Closely tufted and often has a dense, low pile. Thus, the latex foam underlay may be needed if deep-cushioned comfort underfoot is desired. Or, some carpets are available with a high-density latex foam backing. No special treatment is necessary before putting down basement carpeting. Major holes must be patched, but minor blemishes can simply be covered and hidden.
