The Best Rec Room Flooring Ideas
Wood is an ideal rec room flooring idea for families. While wood is not resistant to marring or cracking, you can install a "pre-finished" wood floor, a more durable option. Pre-finished floors have planks that are carefully pieced together with staggered joints and are power nailed to keep them sturdily in place and resistant to moisture leaks. You can also coat the wood floor with protective wax periodically to prevent scratching and general wear-and-tear. The floors are easy to clean and some wood types—such as cedar and bamboo—are water resistant, meaning you do not have to fret about a soggy, buckling floor. Rec rooms that have pool tables will benefit from wood flooring, too; if a ball hops off the table, it could crack a tile, but it will not damage wood.
