Exploring Basement Flooring Options
The primary concern when finishing a basement is moisture. Because basements are below grade, they can be vulnerable to seepage and flooding. You want flooring that can get wet without taking damage. Though hardwood may be beautiful, boards can warp and rot when exposed to water. Instead, SMART Carpet and Flooring recommends the following options:
Carpet
Carpet is an excellent flooring choice for basements that remain relatively dry. The softness of carpet adds warmth underfoot, helping to counteract the chill of a basement during the winter months. The right carpet can transform your basement from cold concrete to a cozy and comfortable living space. It also improves sound absorption, reducing echoes and keeping your basement quiet.
Outdoor Carpet
If you like the warmth of carpet but worry about moisture, outdoor carpet is a more durable alternative. Outdoor carpet is designed to withstand the elements. Most product lines are water-resistant or waterproof for resilience in wet conditions. They are also easy to maintain. Simply vacuum up dirt or spray it off with a hose, then allow the carpet to air dry.
Vinyl
Vinyl flooring imitates the hardwood look without the hassle and moisture concerns of real wood. This flooring type is waterproof and easy to maintain. It also comes in a wide variety of textures, styles, and finishes, helping you achieve the look you want. SMART Carpet and Flooring offers hybrid vinyl flooring, luxury vinyl plank and tile, and sheet vinyl to meet a range of applications.
Laminate
If your basement features high-traffic zones, consider boosting durability with laminate. This flooring material is scratch- and stain-resistant, allowing it to retain its appearance through heavy use. It’s also incredibly easy to clean. With a broad range of styles available, including hardwood and tile look-alikes, laminate is a strong option for basement laundry rooms, game rooms, and more.
