Why We're Xploring Carpet Tiles

We've ditched the idea of having stained concrete floors with heat in our basement (originally conceived as a way to make cleaning up pet mishaps easy and quick). We couldn't justify the $30K price tag. Now we're back to carpet. But because we have one dog and one cat, we're exploring the installation of tiles instead of traditional carpet. They can look just as nice but can be replaced if cat vomit, like the picture below, ends up soaking in a bit.
