Coin-grip metallic flooring

I just saw this product as a special buy of the day at a big box store. Has anyone here ever installed this? I've been exploring options for my basement floor. It's actually a finished basement with carpeting, but I really hate carpeting so I'm hoping to remove it at some point. I've been leaning toward ceramic tile because I put it in another house and it has worked well. Moisture has never been a problem in my house.

It is really good. It looks great and, is to clean, and is very durable.

I wish I had pushed harder for it to be put under my hardwood. My living room floor can get pretty cold in the winter.

I was just so happy to finally get the hardwood that I didn't want to push my luck. My husband (now ex) resisted for a long time.

I wish I could put it in every room in my rentals. I have been installing luxury vinyl plank flooring in the living rooms and bedrooms and it has worked out well.

What I like about ceramic flooring is that it's one solid piece with what's underneath. No creepy-crawlies can get underneath. In another climate I know it probably wouldn't work in a basement, but I think it's a great option here.
