How to choose the best carpet for your basement

Some people choose to install carpet in their basements for a variety of reasons, but mostly for warmth and insulation. Carpeting can be a great insulator in homes where colder temperatures can make the indoors cold. It can also be a preferred option for those who want a floor that won’t be too cold to walk on comfortably. 

To learn more about how you can choose the best type of carpet that works for your basement, keep reading below for some of the factors that you should be sure to consider before installation:

What should I think about when choosing the best carpet for my basement?


  • If there is potential for moisture in your basement — Some people try to avoid carpeting in basements because of concerns about moisture in the basement, but there are options available that deal with any moisture that may become present under your house. Quick-drying flooring like low-pile carpeting is generally better for basements because it allows for the carpet to dry fast if it absorbs any moisture. 

  • How much foot traffic you’ll get in your basement — Is your basement going to be a place where people walk through it very frequently? This is one of the things you’ll want to think about when you’re choosing a carpet. Do you need a durable carpet, or maybe carpet squares that can be replaced when dirty or damaged?
