Basement Floor

[05dodgedaytona]

I was wondering what you guys might recommend for putting on a basement floor? I don't want to carpet it since we use it as a workshop. I mainly just want it to be easier to clean and to help with the dust. Thanks in advance.

I did porcelain tile wall to wall, love it.

VCT looks really great but floor prep is critical if you don't want moisture popping tiles loose.

even my little ones lent a hand !

I built a small workshop / craft room for us in the basement, there is a closet full length across from the countertop for more storage.

But the garage has more space for bigger projects. I will set up a small wood / metal shop in the loft area, move my Table saw, mitre saw and clamps up there.
Dad has a band saw & drill press stored for me at our real shop and if I ever need a mill, lathe etc, they are a short drive away.

Before you do anything, it's always a good idea to do a couple Moisture Vapor Transmission tests on the concrete slab first.

Send me a PM with your info and I will FedEx you some samples to look at of different products we find very effective in basements

Stain and seal is an option as well.

Stain and seal is an option as well.

This is what we are looking into considering we won't/don't use the basement very often.

Stain and seal is an option as well.

What would you specifically recommend that would stop the dusting and maybe add some interesting shading? Without being a maintenance nightmare.
