Hi
Our basement is concrete also. We were going to do laminate, but had Home Beautiful do testing of moisture levels. Even though the basement seems dry as can be, there is too much "below grade" for anyone toguarantee the laminate. SO we went to look at the flooring used by Major Brands, right up the street from Home Beautiful. It's a heavy duty vinyl (Color Shed has it too, but not the heaviest duty kind). I don't recall the name of the product, it begins with a "K" ... it looks like wood, kinda. It can be set right upon the concrete, it's a peel and stick variety. We LOVE IT. The guy who did the finishing of our basement was so impressed with the stuff, he is doing the floor in one of his bathrooms with it. It really takes a beating, because we always enter the house thru basement or garage/basement, with skis, boating stuff, snow, ice, etc. Go check it out!
