Best new musical flooring for flooded basement


My basement carpet, where I have my sound system, was flooded.  I have to replace the flooring.  Which flooring is best for music?

Concrete can take a LONG time to dry, it may be dry on the surface, but wait longer, use fans, ventilate, IOW, don't trap the moisture within. If in a hurry, buy or rent

Carpet Tiles, laid with ’blue glue’ (quick release, just enough to keep them from moving). Man made fibers, very easy to clean, if disaster can be ’lifted up’, dried, shampooed in the driveway, put back down. Or, dried, put back down, shampooed in place.

Get an extra box of tiles for future replacements if individual tiles get ’painted’ with permanent markers by kids or adults.

My basement laundry room, I installed them myself, just spraying some 3M adhesive. Mine, commercial office grade, have cushioned backs, just a few held in place keep the others from moving IF they have heavy backing.

I use a residential size power scrubber and spray carpet cleaner if they get dirty, modern man made fibers clean easily.

Anything loosens, pick em up, a fresh spritz of spray adhesive ..
