Bedroom Flooring

The benefits of hardwood for bedroom flooring

For bedroom flooring, the choice for most homeowners comes down to wood floor vs. carpet. While a carpeted floor provides a softer and quieter surface, a hardwood floor offers timeless beauty, warmth and elegance that no other surface can provide. Hardwood bedroom flooring will last much longer than carpet and is easier to clean and keep free of dust, pollen and allergens. And hardwood floors are among the most sought-after types of bedroom flooring, helping to improve property value.

At Carlisle, we offer a lot of wide plank bedroom flooring options in solid and engineered hardwood. Our expert design consultants can help you explore the benefits of Hickory vs. Oak flooring or the differences in a Herringbone vs. Chevron pattern. When you choose bedroom flooring from Carlisle, you’ll be living on a one-of-a-kind surface that will continue to delight you for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best flooring for bedrooms?

While carpet is among the most popular type of bedroom flooring, it shows wear more quickly and is more difficult to keep free of allergens like dust and pollen. For that reason, many homeowners prefer hardwood bedroom flooring, using area rugs to create softer surfaces in places. When choosing hardwood, various species will offer different natural hues in the wood and different types of grain patterns. When considering Cherry vs. Oak, for example, Cherry will offer darker floors with lustrous red tones while Oak will have lighter, browner hues.

Should bedroom flooring match throughout the house?

There is no standard when it comes to matching floors throughout the house. It's perfectly fine to have one type of hardwood flooring in the living room and to use different hardwood species for nursery flooring or bedroom flooring. Using the same wood for all rooms creates a natural flow and a consistent look throughout the house, while using different species in adjoining rooms can help to create spaces that have distinct personalities.

What's the advantage of engineered bedroom flooring?

Engineered flooring is made with a veneer of hardwood that's glued to multiple layers of a backing material. The result is a floorboard that's more impervious to moisture and changes in relative humidity. Engineered bedroom flooring may be appropriate when installing the floor over radiant heat or concrete slab, as the construction of the engineered boards will prevent warping and cracking.

Why use prefinished bedroom flooring?

Prefinished floors are finished and sealed under ideal conditions within our facility before they're shipped to your location. That means you won't need to sand or stain your bedroom flooring on site, allowing you to avoid the mess of sawdust and the odor of stains and sealants in your bedroom and closets.

What's the easiest way to clean hardwood bedroom flooring?

Keeping your floors swept and vacuumed will eliminate the dirt and debris that can cause scratches and dents in the hardwood surface. To clean your hardwood bedroom flooring, we recommend a mild mixture of water with a little vinegar – it's a green solution that will easily loosen dirt and help to keep your floors looking pristine.
