I have regular carpet in the basement but when I replace it, I will be using the tiles. I've seen in home basements and the idea that I can get creative and al replace sections easy is appealing to me.

I'm debating the same thing.

Two houses ago I did surplus hotel carpet tile in our basement. Very durable and easy to work with. And very inexpensive. I'll see if I can dig up the place where I bought it (carpet mill in GA).
