Okay you all- I am hoping I can get some opinions here. We have a basement type with a family room, bath etc. Well its the last room to be replaced in carpeting. The people that lived here before had hunting dogs, and it had a obvious dog odor. Anyway- this past weekend my husband and his son took out the old carpet but the padding is glued to the concret slab ( just lovely..Anyway he brought this scrapper home and made short work of that.
We are in a debate- I was thinking indoor outdoor type carpeting- looks nice but can function as a room for the dogs to go into. He wants tile- he is thinking slate, or ceremic type. My concern is sealing the grout. When we had the old carpeting down there, I had thick rugs from india that would take the dirt off but functioned.
Anyone here have a tile type lower family room? Is it hard to keep clean? And the tile sealer- does it really work? Pictures would be nice.. It only has 4 windows, so it needs to be a light color. I also thought about wood floor- but really- that room can be a high traffic area.** edit- I only use that room to bring the dogs in if the stairs up to the screen porch are slick. We get snow flurries almost nightly so the morning is usually out the basement door. *

) and is easy to vaccum. It is easy to wipe up spills and it quite simple. The tiles are really durable. They rarely break. My clumsy family has dropped lots of stuff on it. We did, however, manage to break one. We dropped a piano on it. yep[, that would do it.
