Where Can I Use Hardwood?   

Versatile hardwood floors look and perform great in virtually every room of your home, with a few important exceptions.

full bathroom










below grade

Bathrooms

  • Solid or engineered hardwoods are not the best choice for a full bathroom due to the frequent fluctuations in humidity and the potential for pooling water. Water from tubs and showers can cause hardwood floors to buckle or warp.
  • Solid or engineered hardwoods can be used in a half-bath, as long as the room does not contain a bathtub or shower.

Basement

  • Engineered hardwood is the only type of hardwood flooring that is recommended for use below grade, making it an option for basements. 
  • In some dry regions of the country, solid hardwood can be used below grade over concrete. Check with you installer, first.
