Basement flooring
Professional flooring services for basements in Chicago and throughout the Chicagoland suburbs
Your basement deserves flooring that handles moisture, temperature changes, and heavy use while looking great for years. At Carpets in the Park, we’ve been helping Chicago area homeowners transform their basements for over 35 years with the right flooring solutions.
We bring samples to your home, measure your space, and give you honest recommendations based on your basement’s conditions.
Then we install it right the first time. This works over concrete with proper preparation.
Some basements may take on water during a rain storm and seep into the basement. When this happens it is important to make sure all the standing water is illuminated as soon as possible so mold and other musty odor can also be eliminated.
Types of Basement Flooring
Luxury Vinyl Tile and Plank
100% waterproof and our top recommendation for basements. Comes in beautiful wood and stone looks, warmer underfoot than tile, and holds up to high traffic. This works great over concrete with minimal prep. Luxury vinyl wood plank flooring can be glued down directly to the concrete so it guarantees that the standing water and moisture will not enter underneath the flooring and cause mold build up and musty odors.
Best for: any basement, especially those with moisture concerns, family rooms, playrooms, home gyms.
Laminate Flooring
Budget-friendly option that gives you the hardwood look at a fraction of the cost. Modern laminate is more moisture-resistant than older versions and holds up well in high-traffic areas.
Best for: dry basements, home offices, guest bedrooms, finished living spaces
Carpeting
Nothing beats carpet for warmth and comfort. Today’s carpets are softer, more durable, and more stain-resistant than ever. We carry a wide selection from top brands like Mohawk, Stainmaster and SmartStrand.
Best for: dry basements, bedrooms, media rooms, family rooms
