Imagine the timeless elegance of cherry or the warm and inviting tones of hickory/pecan gracing your bathroom. Alternatively, discover the enduring beauty of red oak or the character-filled allure of walnut. With these hardwood options, you can curate a bathroom that becomes a true work of art.

Addressing Moisture Concerns:

Moisture protection is crucial when installing hardwood in a bathroom. The Real American Hardwood Coalition's hardwood species offer inherent resistance to moisture, providing a solid foundation for your bathroom. Employ experienced professionals who understand the specific challenges of bathroom environments. They will ensure proper sealing, moisture-resistant adhesives, and adequate ventilation to safeguard against water damage. Follow a regular maintenance routine that includes promptly wiping up any spills or standing water to preserve the wood's natural integrity.

Find the Right Finish:

Sealing the deal with a high-quality finish is key to preserving the beauty and longevity of your bathroom hardwood. Seek out finishes like waterproof sealer, or polyurethane finishes tailored to the specific hardwood species you've chosen. These finishes provide optimal moisture resistance, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Multiple coats of finish will shield your hardwood from water damage, stains, and daily wear, while accentuating the timeless elegance of the wood beneath.

‍

Design Choices:

Your hardwood bathroom will bring natural warmth and sophistication to your space. Consider the color variations and distinctive grain patterns of each hardwood species to create a look that complements your chosen design scheme. Lighter woods, like aspen or soft maple, create an airy and inviting atmosphere, while richer tones, such as cherry or walnut, add depth and luxury. Let your imagination run free as you envision a visually stunning bathroom retreat, where the hardwood serves as the centerpiece.

‍

Regular TLC:

Preserving the timeless beauty and durability of your hardwood bathroom requires regular maintenance. Here at Real American Hardwood, we recommend using hardwood cleaners designed specifically for the hardwood species you've chosen. Dust, sweep, or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and debris, and promptly clean up any spills to prevent water damage. Consider periodic applications of maintenance coats of finish to refresh the protective layer and restore the hardwood's natural luster.
