Mud Room Flooring

Your options for hardwood mud room flooring

Mud rooms are great for keeping dirt and moisture from getting tracked throughout the house. When choosing a flooring surface, many homeowners assume that a mud room would have too high of a moisture level for hardwood flooring. While tile, stone and vinyl are common in mud rooms, engineered floorboards can make it possible to enjoy the timeless beauty of hardwood in mud room flooring.

Engineered floors are specially constructed to perform better in areas with higher moisture and higher relative humidity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best flooring for a mud room?

Because mud rooms are designed to accommodate higher levels of moisture and humidity, the best mud room flooring will be a surface that is resistant to moisture and is easy to clean. The best mud room flooring for your home is a matter of personal preference. Vinyl and tile floors are common choices. If you prefer the beauty of a hardwood floor, choosing engineered Hickory, engineered Maple or engineered Oak hardwood flooring is an excellent way to install a durable hardwood surface that's resistant to moisture.

What is engineered flooring?

Engineered floorboards are made with a top layer, or wear layer, of hardwood that is glued to several layers of backing material. This multi-layered approach makes engineered boards more resistant to moisture and changes in relative humidity. Engineered flooring is an excellent choice for installation in rooms that are below grade like basements or cellars. And engineered floors are excellent options for installation over concrete slab or as a radiant heat wood floor.

What color floors hide dirt best?

Lighter engineered floors will hide dust, dirt and pet hair more successfully than dark engineered hardwood flooring.

What flooring is best for high-traffic areas?

Hickory or Maple are among the densest hardwoods and are more resistant to scratches, dents and dings.

Can mud room flooring be prefinished?

Yes. Prefinished floors are sanded, stained and sealed in the ideal conditions of our manufacturing facility before they are delivered to your home for installation. For many of our prefinished floors, we apply the final coat of urethane to all four sides of the board to create a more moisture-resistant floor.

Customizing your Carlisle mud room flooring

With mud room flooring from Carlisle, you’ll have tons of options for customizing your floor to create a one-of-a-kind surface that perfectly suits your home and sense of style.

Selecting the wood

At Carlisle, we offer a wide variety of woods all domestically sawn in North America for our wide plank floors. This allows you to start designing your dream floor from a variety of grain patterns, color and character.

Determining the grade

We offer several proprietary grades that let you choose floors that have more or less personality in the planks. You can choose a more formal and consistent look with boards that have fewer knots and streaks, or you can select boards that maximize the grain, knots and color variations in the wood.

Choosing a width

The width of planks in Carlisle floors ranges from 4″ to 20″, with most floors averaging around 8″. Designing your floor with consistent widths offers a more uniform and formal look, while varying the widths adds visual interest and contributes to a more casual feel.

Exploring pattern

Carlisle floors can be installed with Herringbone, Chevron and Versailles patterns as well as custom patterns developed with the help of your wide plank specialist.

Playing with color

The options for stain colors at Carlisle are nearly limitless. Our Custom Color matching system makes it simple to match the color of your stain to any item you bring or send to us.

Texturing your floor

Carlisle craftsmen employ texturing techniques to produce floors with hand-scraped edges, vintage saw marks and the kind of gently worn appearance of boards that have been lived on and walked on for decades or centuries.
