I am just curious as i literally just finished pulling up the carpet in my basement as i type this. I went with a thick, high quality vinyl plank that looks like wood, but I debated staining and was quickly shot down by the wife because she said the floor would probably be real cold. Made some sense so I left it alone. But I am curious about them, so let us know when you do and how you like it. Planning on doing garage because we dont park cars in there (wife's art studio/my fishing cave).
