Did you know that over 28% of homes are finished with carpet? That includes the basement.
If you want the best basement carpet in your home, there are a couple things you need to consider.
How to Select Basement Carpet
Installing carpet in the basement is beneficial for many reasons. Often, basements are neglected and mainly used for storage. But, imagine turning that part of your house into extra living space.
Before you have any kind of flooring installed, make sure you have a “carpet ready basement”. Basements don’t share the same climate as the rest of the house, so take these factors into mind before looking at any samples of carpet:
- What is the moisture level like in your basement?
- How much time will you be spending down there?
- What will you be using your basement for?
- How much activity and foot traffic do you anticipate?
- Do kids or pets go down in the basement?
Moisture is huge for basements because a wet basement can completely ruin your investments. Keeping your moisture levels under control is the key to a healthy basement environment.
Once you have the answers to these questions, you’re safe to begin looking at basement carpet selections.
