Basement flooring that handles concrete and moisture
Basements in Star Valley are cold, sit on a concrete slab and can see moisture from spring runoff. The wrong floor cups, smells or grows mold. The right one goes down once and stays put.
1. Rigid-core waterproof LVP
This is our default basement floor. COREtec and Shaw rigid-core planks float over the slab with an attached pad, so there is no glue and nothing to absorb water. If the basement floods, the planks can be lifted, dried and reinstalled.
2. Carpet tile
Carpet tile from Shaw and Mohawk has a moisture-resistant backing and installs without pad. Warm underfoot, good for a kids area or home gym, and a single damaged tile swaps out in minutes.
3. Carpet with a moisture-barrier pad
For a finished basement bedroom or theater, broadloom carpet over a sealed pad is the warmest option. We use synthetic fibers that do not hold moisture and a pad rated for below grade.
In stock now: rigid-core LVP, carpet and carpet tile are all stocked in Thayne. Most basement jobs can be scheduled within a week. See the in-stock page.
We check slab moisture before we quote. If readings are high, we will tell you and recommend a vapor barrier rather than install a floor that will fail. That check is part of the free estimate.
