In the past, installing hardwood flooring in the bathroom was fraught with challenges. With so much running water and steam from showers, bathrooms were thought to have an excessive moisture level for hardwood flooring. While solid wood floors may end up buckling when there’s too much water or steam present, engineered hardwood floors can successfully withstand higher levels of moisture and humidity – making them an excellent option for hardwood flooring in the bathroom.
At Carlisle, our engineered wide plank floors are among the most durable and stable products on the market. We use 2 to 3 times more plies than competing products, and a thicker top layer of hardwood means our engineered floors can be sanded and refinished just as often as our solid wood floors. Whether you are looking for options for basement flooring, laundry room flooring, mud room flooring or hardwood flooring in a bathroom, Carlisle wide plank engineered floors will help you create a stunning surface that will delight you for years to come.

ExploreInstalling hardwood flooring in bathrooms is trickier than choosing hardwood for other rooms. Because bathroom floors are exposed to standing water and much higher levels of humidity, it's possible for solid hardwood floors to warp and crack over time as they absorb moisture and expand. Engineered floorboards are an excellent option for anyone seeking hardwood flooring in the bathroom. Engineered boards from Carlisle are almost indistinguishable from solid hardwood floors and provide lots of options for stain, texture and pattern.
Carlisle engineered floors are made with a top layer of hardwood that's glued to 9 to 11 layers of plywood substrate. This multilayered construction provides a floorboard that's much more resistant to higher levels of moisture and changes in relative humidity. Unfinished engineered flooring can be stained and finished just like a solid hardwood floor. Engineered boards are ideal for installation below grade, on concrete slabs, as a radiant heat wood floor and in locations like bathrooms and laundry rooms where higher levels of moisture and humidity are often present.
Because bathroom floors can take a beating from moisture and foot traffic, many homeowners opt for engineered boards made with a denser hardwood in the top layer. Woods like Hickory and Maple are far denser than wood like Cherry, Walnut and Pine. Because bathrooms tend to be smaller rooms, using light engineered wood flooring is often a good idea, as the lighter hues will help to make the room seem more spacious.
Yes. At Carlisle, we offer a wide range of prefinished hardwood floors, where the boards are sanded, stained and sealed in our facility before we ship them to your location. A prefinished floor lets us seal all four sides of a board in some cases, and to apply stain to the sides of each board to prevent seasonal gapping. And by ordering a prefinished floor, you can avoid all the mess and inconvenience that's usually associated with finishing a floor on site.
