    What is wrong with what you have?

    Are you looking for a cosmetic fix or something else? You have lots of choices, so you'll need to tell us what you're trying to accomplish.

    If you are keeping the pool table you should probably not use a floating product. That leaves tile, glue down engineered, carpet. What would you like? Something soft underfoot? How much moisture is coming up through the floor?

    What about sheet vinyl?

    Is it a basement? how do you want the room to look? what is your budget? do you need something waterproof, want carpet? i would go with classic vct tiles (cheap!) or marmoleum click tiles, so many colors to choose from and can be laid in any pattern. both have been around forever so last a long time, are easy to clean and can be polished or left matte. and a tile can be replaced if damaged. and if you want carpet do the same with carpet squares.

    If you want cosmetic fix, you could just paint it again. But, you’d have to move the pool table for several days. Does water get in? If not, have an inexpensive low-pile carpet laid down.

    It's not a basement... it's like a livingroom... It's a lounging spot with a dance floor and dj next room over

    Since it seems to be a party space, you'll want something bullet-proof that's easy to clean. I'd look at having the floor epoxied. As an added benefit, you can get some really cool effects with metallic and iridescent add ins. Picture your dance floor sparkling.

    Epoxy floors can be very slippery when wet ... so drinking and dancing on it might not be safe if any drinks get spilled and are not wiped up immediately.

    And get rid of the ceiling fluorescent light fixtures!

  • 4 years ago

    When they do epoxy on garage floors, they add texture. That helps with the slipperiness.

    So if I get ready of the ceiling fluorescent light fixtures... what do you recommend for me to replace it with?

    LEDs. Less obtrusive. Low energy consumption. No buzzing. Programmable colours. Pretty much last forever.

    Suspend a pendant directly above the pool table. Ass a table or floor lamp in each corner of the room.
