Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best flooring for a basement?
Waterproof rigid-core luxury vinyl is the best overall basement floor; porcelain tile is a durable alternative.
Is vinyl plank good for basements?
Yes. Rigid-core LVP is waterproof and dimensionally stable, which makes it ideal for below-grade concrete.
Can you put tile in a basement?
Yes. Porcelain tile is moisture-proof and durable, a great basement option if you do not mind a cooler surface.
Do I need a moisture barrier in a basement?
For concrete that sees moisture, yes. Rigid-core vinyl with an attached pad or a separate vapor barrier protects the floor.
Why should I avoid hardwood or carpet in a basement?
Solid hardwood warps with moisture and standard carpet can trap it, risking mold below grade. Waterproof vinyl or tile is safer.
Will basement flooring feel cold?
Tile runs coolest; rigid-core vinyl with an attached pad feels warmer. Area rugs and subfloor insulation also help.
Buyer's Guide
How to choose basement flooring
Below grade, moisture is the deciding factor. Rigid-core luxury vinyl is the top pick: 100% waterproof and able to float right over concrete. Porcelain tile is durable and moisture-proof, though cooler underfoot. Sheet vinyl is the most budget-friendly waterproof option.
Avoid solid hardwood and standard carpet below grade, and use a moisture barrier where the manufacturer calls for one.
