Reasons to consider hardwood flooring
The style seems like it might be reason enough
to consider hardwood flooring, but it also has numerous benefits. It provides a rich, warm, elegant atmosphere
to your home and is relatively cost-effective when you look at the overall
picture. Read further to see why wooden
floors might be for you.
Cost-effectiveness and the big picture
These floors
are classic and never go out of style. They’ll also last for decades; in fact,
we've heard of some that have lasted as long as 100 years, and they tend to
look better with age. However, if they start to look excessively scratched or
dull, it usually takes sanding and refinishing to bring them back to their
original luster. That means no
replacement costs!
Two versions of hardwood mean more versatility
Many think of only solid wood floors, but engineered wood flooring appeals to those who want both beauty and practicality. Because of that, it’s taking a significant share of the wood flooring industry. While solid is one thickness throughout, engineered is layered, resulting in increased stability and a better ability to handle water.
On the surface, you can’t tell the difference. The top layer is your species-of-choice with all the beautiful undertones, swirls, raised grains, and quirky knots, but Mother Nature got a little help underneath. Here, genuine wood is combined with a bit of resin and placed in a crosswise position. The floors can be sanded, refinished, and adds value to a property but can also be installed in some higher-than-normal moisture spaces where solid wooden floors cannot be installed.

Other reasons
to think about hardwood include wood floors (whether solid or engineered), and
they add value to a property, usually about 80 to 90% of the cost of your
flooring. They are also relatively low maintenance, requiring daily dust
mopping and periodic polishing. Wipe
spills immediately, put mats strategically at entrances and in front of sinks,
and use protective furniture pads to avoid scratching. If you have pets, keep
nails trimmed and possibly select a lighter color floor as they show scratches
less.
