Basement Flooring.....Help Needed Thank You

10 years ago

last modified: 10 years ago

I am finishing my basement this coming spring and am undecided choosing the right flooring. It will be partially finished. The front part will be used as a second family room and the second half is the unfinished laundry and utility area.

We just had Adams Basement Inc install a waterproofing system. Therefore, I am confident enough to eliminate carpet as an option.

Here is a picture to give you an idea of how it will look once finished. I want water and/or moister resistant flooring.

Thanks for your help and advice

Pergo is normally a laminate floor producer. They do not carry vinyl. Karndean, Coretec, Modin, etc are all vinyl producers. Armstrong and Bruce also produce vinyl floors.

Go visit a real flooring store and ask to see their vinyl plank/tile selection. Vinyl is hot right now so everyone carries a version (good, bad or indifferent) of it.

Thank you! Is there a particular manufacturer you prefer over another. I know that local home stores carry Pergo, not familiar with any particular manufacturer. Thanks again

I have vinyl plank in my basement that looks like wood. I love it. I bought it at Home Depot and installed myself.

Do you know the brand that you purchased or one you would recommend? How are they against dents and scratches? Thanks for your time!

Why not go cork in your basement?? It's floating,it adds insulation,it's super comfy to walk on,and it's very cost effective?

I will have to look into it. I am also going to look into bamboo or Bella engineered wood.
