The Benefits of Wood Flooring

What are the benefits of wood flooring? They are affordable and come in a variety of styles. They are also easy to install and maintain. They add and hold their value over time in your home. They’re versatile enough to be the perfect backdrop for any décor. To top it all off, they help keep your home allergen and dust-free. A natural hardwood floor is easily the best investment you can make in your home. 

Whether your personal style leans toward a clean, contemporary design or the hominess of a traditional Colonial style, wood flooring fits right into most any room. Depending on the wood that you choose, they can add to the open, airy feeling of a living room, warm a design based on steel and leather, or be the perfect background for a prized Oriental carpet. Dramatic and simple at the same time, wood floors can accent and complete the décor in any room in hour home. A new wood floor will add more value to your home than any other flooring option, including tile or wall-to-wall carpeting. Unlike many other options, wood floors maintain their value over time. When tile, vinyl flooring, and carpets are looking worn, wood floors still retain their beauty. When they do begin to show wear, they don’t need to be replaced. Wood flooring can be refinished for a fraction of the cost of a new tile floor. It’s no wonder that ‘natural wood floors’ appear so often in real estate home listings. Wood floors are a healthy choice. Many doctors recommend hardwood floors such as oak floors as a way to help control animal and dust allergies. Carpets can trap dust, animal dander, and mold spores, they can even serve as a breeding ground for dust mites or other common household allergens. Natural wood floors are easy to clean – sweeping and occasional vacuuming are all that it takes. Wood floors are a natural choice, made from a renewable resource. In many cases, wood flooring is made from ‘recovered’ wood, recycled from old ships, barns, and other old wooden structures. 

There’s a common misconception that wood floors must be treated with extreme care. In fact, wood floors are among the most durable of flooring options. That’s the simple reason that most gymnasium and auditorium floors are made with natural wood. It’s durable enough to stand up to heavy traffic with minimal care. Today’s polyurethane finishes and sealants make wood floors a good choice even in areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Wood floors are easy to care for. Daily dust-mopping or vacuuming is all that most floors need to stay beautiful. Polyurethane sealant will maintain a high gloss or soft sheen while protecting the floors from moisture and spills. With all that going for them, why would you choose anything but a natural wood floor, such as a new birch flooring for your new home? As you can see, wood is a natural choice for beauty, value, and durability!
