When choosing a flooring system, people have a tendency to completely overlook hardwood as a flooring option, simply because they generally tend to be more expensive than the other flooring systems. In this blog post we explain to you why choosing a hardwood flooring system for your home can actually play out to be a better investment in the long run.
What are the benefits of hardwood floors?
– Hardwood floors are long lasting – Other flooring systems need to be replaced every 5-10 years due to stains, holes, or shabbiness from every day wear and tear.
– Hardwood floors require minimal maintenance. A simple brush or light vacuum keeps your wooden floors looking clean and proper.
– Hardwood floors are easily fixed. If after a few years your wood floor has been scratched or is a bit damaged due to heavy wear and tear. A simple sand and seal will bring it back to its original state.
– Hardwood floors have a timeless appeal. Other flooring system such as carpet, linoleum and tile patterns and colours definitely go in and out of fashion with time while hardwood floors maintain the classical and elegant look.
– Hardwood floors increase a home’s value. Real estate agents state that houses with wooden floors sell twice as easily compared to houses with other floor finishes.
