A basement floor is treated below grade and often made of cold and hard concrete material. This is the result it is cold. Many times home owners prefer just putting down carpet on to the floor directly. But sometimes if you want your floor to be dry and warm than you need to consider putting down a sub floor.

Basement sub-floors are nothing but a polystyrene sheet of suitable thickness. This polystyrene sheet is directly laid down on the floor and then covered with plywood. Than fasten these things down via the pre drilled holes right into the basement floors. When this is done, you would have a good, warm and solid wooden basement floor and now you could lay down any kind of flooring on to it. Only problem with it is that polystyrene along with the plywood layers would raise the floor. Basements heights being always on the lower side, it turns out the major disadvantage of this method.
