What are the best flooring options for a finished basement?

Your basement could be a great solution to add usable space in the house and has the potential to dramatically increase your home’s value while elevating your lifestyle. We utilized basements to create everything from in-law spaces, to pubs, golf simulators, playrooms, and theatre rooms.

Depending on how you want to use the space, choosing the right flooring for your finished basement is key. Eastern Massachusetts basements can be prone to moisture. So, we need durable and water-resistant options. Let’s explore some choices we have seen homeowners like you make.

Flooring Options

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP): LVP is a fantastic option. It is waterproof and resists scratches. Furthermore, it looks like real wood or tile. Installation is also relatively easy.

Engineered Hardwood: This option offers the beauty of hardwood. However, it has a plywood core. This makes it more stable than solid hardwood. It handles moisture better too.

Tile (Ceramic or Porcelain): Tile is very durable and water-resistant. It’s a great choice for high-traffic areas. Also, many styles and colors are available. However, it can feel cold underfoot.

Carpet: Carpet is softer and warmer than hard surfaces. Some are designed for basements with moisture resistance.
