I am remodeling a storage room in the basement. The whole basement has a concrete floor. I do rescue for cats and dog's so it has to be easy to keep clean. Parts of the floor are smooth other parts rough. I have had most of the walls waterproofed, and painted with dry lock. But sometimes water still does come in.
What can I do with this floor? No tiles, no grouting, nothing slippery!
Help!

What is your budget? Can you do peel and stick tiles, or marmoleum tiles? Not sure if I spelled that right :)

If water is "still getting in" in a basement, it sounds like you have a concrete slab/foundation that needs moisture mitigation. The easiest form of moisture mitigation + easy to clean flooring is epoxy. When professionals come it, they will test your slab to find out moisture ratings. They then decide which is the best product for your situation. The epoxy is mixed, applied and then allowed to cure. Some epoxies then receive a finish coat to increase sheen/etc.

Without the moisture mitigation...you are limited to 'tiles' with grout. You may have to look towards weeping tiles, sump pump, etc to remove the problems with the moisture. Before you can install any other form of flooring, you will need to consult a concrete slab professional to have the moisture dealt with. Or...ceramic tile will do the trick.
