Finishing a basement can be a great way to add to the square footage of your house. With a modest investment, you can transform your basement into a fantastic game room, a comfortable bedroom, or a high-tech entertainment center with surround sound and a wide-screen TV. However, the concrete flooring of most basements seems to limit your flooring options, since hardwood can be difficult to install and carpets may not always be your first choice. Fortunately, stained concrete can be an ideal solution no matter what you plan to do with your basement.

The Benefits of Stained Concrete

Stained concrete flooring is just as durable and easy to maintain as the existing slab, with a smooth finish available in an almost endless variety of colors. A skilled contractor can produce results for any taste, so whether you're looking for something polished and refined or more natural and stone-like, stained concrete can produce the effect you're after at minimal cost. Concrete floors are also incredibly simple to maintain, requiring just an occasional mopping to maintain their look for years.

When Is Stained Concrete the Right Choice?

Because of the variety of visual effects contractors can create and the smooth feel of polished concrete, the only limit is your personal taste and imagination. Even if you're building a bedroom in the basement, stained concrete can create the elegant feel of tile floors at a fraction of the cost, making it one of the most economical flooring options available.
