Basement Flooring in Superior, WI
Basement flooring in Superior, WI, in every material except hardwood, chosen for the moisture a basement has. That means luxury vinyl plank, carpet, tile and sheet vinyl, with a free measure that starts with the slab.
Start With the Slab
A basement floor sits on concrete that stays cool all year and can carry moisture up from the ground. That’s true in an old Superior basement and in a new Hermantown one.
So the slab decides the floor. That’s why we install everything but hardwood below grade: wood takes on moisture, and then it swells, cups or gaps. Luxury vinyl plank, carpet, tile and sheet vinyl all handle a basement better. During the free measure we look at the slab for damp, cracks and low spots, and tell you what it needs before you choose.

The Usual Basement Floor: LVP
Luxury vinyl plank is what most basements end up with. Water doesn’t hurt it. It’s warmer and softer on a slab than tile. And it looks like wood, which is often what people wanted in the first place.
We keep a lot of it in stock, so many basement jobs can start sooner. See the options on our luxury vinyl page.
Where Carpet and Tile Fit
Carpet makes a basement bedroom or family room feel like the rest of the house, as long as the room stays dry. Tile belongs in the basement bathroom and the laundry, where water is part of the room’s job.
Compare them on our carpet and tile pages. Doing the stairs down too? See stair flooring.

Basement Flooring Questions
What is the best flooring for a basement?
For most basements, luxury vinyl plank. Water doesn’t hurt it, it’s comfortable on a slab, and it looks like wood. Carpet suits bedrooms and family rooms, and tile suits bathrooms and laundry.
Why won't you put hardwood in a basement?
A basement slab is cool and can carry moisture up from the ground. Wood takes on that moisture, then swells, cups or gaps. Every other floor we sell handles it better, so we install everything but hardwood below grade.
Can you put carpet in a basement?
Yes, in rooms that stay dry, like a family room or a bedroom. We check the slab for moisture first.
Do you install basement flooring in Duluth?
Yes. We install basement floors in Duluth, Hermantown, Cloquet and across the area, as well as in Superior.
Can I install basement LVP myself?
Many people do. About half our customers install their own floors with flooring from our showroom. We’re glad to talk through what the slab needs before you start.
