Hardwood Flooring Benefits

Some of you may ask yourselves why hardwood flooring versus other flooring products?

One of the most compelling benefits of hardwood flooring is the easy maintenance it provides. You can sweep, wipe or mop their surfaces. Spills can be wiped up without any damage or staining of the floors surface. Day to day dirt, hair or other debris that is tracked through your home or office on a regular basis can just be swept into the dustpan without a worry in no time at all.

Another extremely valuable benefit is permanence hardwood flooring offers. This is due to the fact that the finishes on this type of flooring last and not just a few years but for decades with some even a century or more. Hardwood floors are also quite simple and straightforward to restore to their former condition.

One not always highly known benefit when using actual wood flooring is the actual warmth it provides over laminate or tile. This is due to composition of the wood with its hundreds and hundreds of miniscule air chambers per centimeter that act as a barrier between a cold basement floor or lower level room.

The most important benefit perhaps for an increasing number of people is the Health advantages. Anyone with allergies will love the fact that unlike carpeted floors in which dust mites, mildew and mold become entrenched in the carpet, hardwood flooring offer no place for these allergens to take hold. This fact alone is a reason many will choose hardwood flooring over any other type. This would also become an added selling feature should the building ever be put on the market.

Lastly, be it adding a new or refinishing an existing hardwood floor adds value to your home. As stated previously a hardwood floor will last a life time, look great, is easy to clean and maintain as well as being a healthier choice (for allergy sufferers) for your home.  Home buyers are aware of these facts and are willing to spend more for a house that has hardwood floors.
