Flooring & Installation in Basalt

Homes that sit empty part of the year

Many houses in Aspen, Snowmass Village and the mid-valley are used only a few months a year. A house that is closed up through the off-season can swing between very dry air and cold, and wood-based floors react to both.

If this is your situation, ask whether the house will be heated while you are away and how that affects the flooring you are considering. This is general guidance, not a guarantee for any product.

Large rooms, tall glass and radiant heat

Open floor plans and big windows put a lot of high-altitude sun on the floor, which can lighten or change the color of some surfaces over time. If your home has radiant floor heat, ask which Shaw products are approved for use over it and what the manufacturer says about surface temperature. Bring the heating system details or the plans if you have them.

Rentals near Aspen

Short-term rentals see rolling luggage, ski boots and quick turnovers. Durable luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is worth asking about for that kind of use, since it is made to handle wear and moisture. Ask about the product's wear layer and the manufacturer's terms, and ask how a damaged plank would be replaced.

Choosing between wood, vinyl and other surfaces

Homes in Aspen and Snowmass often call for a mix: warm wood-look floors in living areas, something tougher in the mudroom and ski room, and a surface that suits bathrooms. We can stock or order every Shaw collection, so bring photos of the rooms and your plans if you have them and we will bring samples for each space. Tell us which rooms are likely to get wet and we will point you to products suited to them.
