Carpet install on CONCRETE
Carpet in a basement assumes that it is a concrete sub floor..
Either glue it down.. Very easy!!!!! go to the Depot & buy a trowel & some carpet adhesive
Or
Tackstrip & pad then stretch the carpet just like anywhere else.. Seams are tricky & setting the tack strip on the concrete is about as much fun as a root canal.. Think about letting a pro install carpet on a concrete floor...
Look on YouTube there are some good free how to install videos out there

Can interlocking floor tiles be installed over carpet?
Interlocking floor tiles are not preferable used over carpet. The best surface to lay tile or any other flooring product is on a firm and solid surface that out give. Carpet goes down when you step on and makes it so the interlocking tiles will eventually come unlocked by stepping on it. I would not recommend that you install any type of flooring until your carpet is taken out. However if your looking for a good interlocking floor tile I would recommend Swisstrax. They have a great product. And they are great to work with. Sources: www.swisstrax.com www.bigfloors.com www.racedeck.com
