When you finally make the decision to put a new floor down in your home there are a number of things which you need to consider before you do so. The first of these is where you are going to put your floor and the second of these is which room you're going to remake so that your floor will be amazing. Once you have done both of these things then you need to begin laying out your plan; nowhere is this more succinctly done that in the basement. You need to start remodeling your home's floor somewhere so starting in the basement is the way to go if you are trying to build up the floor foundation in your home.
Oftentimes people won't even consider the basement because it is just an afterthought in terms of styling and decoration. However making smart choices in the floor of your basement can lead to many good things including saving money on energy and heating, insulating your home against things like mold and water damage, and keeping out pesky intruders such as insects rodents and roaches and other things from the exterior which you just do not want to have anything to do with.
Bars Beneath Your Feet
One of the other big draws to the basement is that it is quiet and private and has a little bit of an escapists feel to it. Many people (like your wife) don't want to be in the basement so if you want a place to get away from just about everybody else then making the basement your recreation center can be part of the fun. You can install a pool table, a cocktail lounge, or just a straight up bar where you have some liquor and a couple of couches where you can invite friends down to hang out watch and TV.
Making the Bottom Exquisite
The final part of making a basement floor and exquisite place to be is making sure that there are those protections I listed earlier. If you find rats and dead roaches in your basement all over the place when you want to be able to insulate it as such that you will be able to install insect repellent and the intruders will just stay away. Keeping your basement littered with all sorts of other creatures is fine if you are interested in preserving the ecosystem of rodents. However if you are like most domestic Americans and you're not interested in having any little furry or gross otherwise slimy creatures in your home, making sure your basement floor is put in well and well protected will help you in the long run.
