If you're looking for a floor choice for your basement, this is definitely not the best type to choose. In fact, it shouldn't be placed in basements at all. Due to the way it reacts to moisture and temperature changes, in a basement setting it would surely warp, bow up or even crack and split.
Engineered woods, on the other hand, make a great choice for basements. You can even choose the same species of the flooring that you have throughout the rest of your home, if you're looking for continuity. Engineered floors are still made of real woods, but only the top layer, which means they can take a lot more environmental changes than solid woods can.
