Why choose hardwood floors?
When it comes to choosing hardwood floors for your home, many will have plenty of questions about the benefits of hardwood versus the costs involved. Let us first say that hardwood flooring is safe, clean and low maintenance. But that's not all! There are plenty of benefits as well as flooring design options to help your home look impeccable.
This depends, but with all the different flooring options available, hardwood floors may seem like an expensive alternative. Harwood flooring, however, provides a safe, clean space with very little maintenance involved.
By far, one of the biggest advantages of installing hardwood floors is due to cleanliness. Just think about carpet versus hardwood, and you’ll see that it's really a no brainer considering the amount of debris, dust and other microbes being collected inside carpet fibers. Hardwood affords you the luxury of a healthier and safer living environment, especially for allergy sufferers.
Hardwood floors cost more than carpeting your floors. However, they also require less maintenance. One important thing to remember is that hardwood floors are typically sealed on the surface with a protective layer of finish, and depending on the type of finish, are relatively resistant to stains.
Another benefit of hardwood floors is they can be repaired and then refinished if necessary. Hardwood floors do in fact get scraped, scuffed, and even dented. However, wood flooring can simply be sanded, smoothed and then refinished. There is no need for replacement.
The bottom line is wood floors use less water and energy, and can be recycled at the end of their life cycle. This makes hardwood extremely sustainable. Let's not forget that hardwood flooring brings beauty and value to your home. Best of all, it can last a lifetime while carpet will eventually need to be replaced.
Finally, and by far the biggest benefit of hardwood flooring is the uniqueness and beauty that comes with it. Choosing hardwood floors never goes out of style and there are plenty designs to choose from, as well as, grain patterns and colours. Don't forget that hardwood automatically increases the value of your home, a gorgeous hardwood floor is usually one of the biggest reasons why a house is bought.
