The best basement flooring options in 2019
Published: March 7, 2019
When you hear vinyl flooring, many people picture outdated and worn-out sheet vinyl used for kitchen floors back in the day. But, today’s vinyl flooring is known as “luxury vinyl” for a reason.
Luxury vinyl is a whole new category of flooring that combines all of the best attributes of vinyl (including easy maintenance, durability, and comfort) with high-end looks that can fool even the most discerning eye.
Available in planks of varying lengths and widths as well as tiles of different sizes, luxury vinyl can mimic the look of real hardwood, ceramic, and stone.
Benefits of luxury vinyl flooring
Luxury vinyl is one of the most durable floors on the market today. And, that isn’t the only benefit. It is also:
- Scratch and stain resistant
- Water resistant with 100%-waterproof options available
- Easy to clean
- Groutable and textured options offer an even more realistic appearance
- Quick and easy installation
- Warmer and more comfortable underfoot than traditional wood or stone
- Remarkably realistic appearance
The perfect flooring for basements
Basement flooring can be tricky because it is an area of your home that is traditionally prone to moisture and potential water damage. Basements are also often used as entertainment areas so you want a floor that can stand up to spills and stains.
Luxury vinyl meets all those demands and more. Water-resistant, stain-resistant, and scratch-resistant—it’s the practical flooring choice for your basement. Add in the fact that you can select a high-end look (such as natural hardwood, ceramic, or stone), and you’ll create a space that you’ll be proud to show off when entertaining for years to come.
INNOVATIVE, VERSATILE, AND BEAUTIFUL
Luxury vinyl gives any room the look of more expensive natural flooring such as hardwood, tile or stone at a much more affordable price. Great designs and patterns in an easy-to-care for package. There’s a lot to like when it comes to luxury vinyl, and it is a flooring trend that’s here to stay.
