Why Choose Hardwood Floors?
With all the different flooring options available, hardwood flooring may seem like an expensive option. However, hardwood flooring remains the best choice in having a space that is safe and clean with low maintenance.
When you consider the overall life of a hardwood floor, the benefits of wood flooring outweigh the initial cost.
Clean & Comfortable
One of the biggest advantages of hardwood floors is that hardwood flooring is a more sanitary option than other floor types. When thinking about carpet vs. hardwood, a good amount of dust, germs and other debris get absorbed into the carpet fibers. With hardwood flooring, there is no place for debris to hide, making it easier to keep your living environment clean.
Low Maintenance
Generally, hardwood floors cost more than carpeted floors, but they also require less maintenance. Because hardwood floors are typically sealed surfaces with a protective layer of finish, wood floors are more stain resistant than other types of flooring.
One of the benefits of hardwood floors is that they can be repaired and refinished. Hardwood floors do get scraped, scratched, scuffed, dented and damaged – especially in high traffic areas. However, wood flooring can most often simply be sanded, smoothed and refinished. It is rarely necessary to replace a wood floor.
Renewable & Long-Lasting
Another advantage of hardwood floors is that wood is a renewable resource. According to the U.S. Forest Service, the annual net growth of U.S. hardwoods has exceeded annual removals, meaning hardwood has been growing faster than it is harvested.*
Hardwood floors are also known for their durability and can be maintained and refinished over time, helping extend the useful life of an existing floor and reduce the need for replacement. With proper care, a hardwood floor can remain beautiful for many years.
Unsurpassed Beauty & Value
Probably the biggest benefit of hardwood is its unique and beautiful look. Hardwood is one of the oldest flooring materials there is, and it never goes out of style. Because of the large variety of trees and wood types, a world of colors, consistencies, designs, and grain patterns are available.
Hardwood floors also increase the value of a house. Whereas many new homeowners will remove carpeting when they buy a house, a gorgeous hardwood floor is usually a reason why a house is bought.
