Your guide to hardwood sunroom flooring
When choosing floors for a sunroom, hardwood is one of the most popular and enduring options. Hardwood sunroom flooring delivers inviting warmth and timeless elegance, and wide plank hardwood floors offer even more exciting options. Wide plank sunroom flooring uses floor boards that are 4″ to 20″ in width and up to 12′ in length. The result is a stunning surface that reveals more personality in the wood and creates a greater sense of spaciousness and elegance within your sunroom.
At Carlisle Wide Plank Floors, you’ll find a wealth of options for sunroom flooring as well as living room flooring, dining room flooring, bedroom flooring and even game room and yoga flooring. Our wide plank specialists are experts at explaining the benefits of tile vs. hardwood flooring, solid vs. engineered floorboards and semi gloss vs. high gloss hardwood floors. We’ll help you sort through your choices for wood, texture, structure, pattern, color and other options. When you choose sunroom flooring from Carlisle, you’ll have a floor that will delight and astonish you every time you enter the room.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best sunroom flooring?
The best sunroom flooring depends on personal preference and how exposed the room is to outside elements. Certain types of material like tile and concrete may be more appropriate for sunrooms that are open to the elements. But for sunrooms that are encased in glass and walls, hardwood floors make for beautiful, easy-to-clean and durable sunroom flooring.
What is the best flooring for an unheated sunroom?
For sunrooms with higher levels of moisture and relative humidity, engineered hardwood floors may be a better option. Engineered floorboards are made by gluing several layers of material together and adding a top layer of hardwood. This type of board is more resistant to moisture and changes in relative humidity. If your sunroom is exposed to extreme temperatures and to very high or low relative humidity, engineered or solid hardwood floors may not be the best option.
Can sunroom flooring be prefinished?
Yes. Prefinishing your floor lets us take care of sanding, staining and sealing your floor before it's delivered to you for installation. When you order prefinished Maple flooring, for example, we'll finish your floor in the ideal conditions of our manufacturing facility. We can apply sealant to all four sides of the Maple boards, providing greater protection and helping to reduce seasonal gapping.
Can sunroom flooring be textured or distressed?
Yes. Texturing or distressing a floor makes a new floor look like one that was created centuries ago and lived on for generations. Carlisle craftsmen use several texturing techniques that add hand-scraped edges, saw kerfs and other marks to new boards, or that wear down the softer grains in the wooden planks to give them a worn appearance.
