The Benefits Of Solid Wood Flooring

If you are looking to replace the flooring in your home, then you may be unsure of all the options available, as there are many to choose from. I suggest that one type of flooring you should consider would be solid wood flooring as it has many benefits. Let's have a look at the benefits of solid wood flooring. This is an Ad.

The Benefits of Solid Wood Flooring


Durability

Solid wood flooring is durable and long-lasting. Carpet can fade and get threadbare, vinyl can warp and cannot be repaired. Sold wood flooring lasts for a long time and any natural marks add to the natural lustre of the wood. Any heavy damage then it can be repaired with sanding or can be refinished anyway. So it's a good choice for a long-lasting finish. 

Appearance

Solid wood flooring has a timeless appeal. Being made of natural wood (check out this link to view a variety of wood options) it's available in all the colours of this natural product, from oak, beech, walnut and more. The natural colour means each solid wood floor is unique and this makes it extra special with no one having the same flooring as you. Solid wood flooring also does not go out of fashion, making it perfect for any decor.

Easy to keep clean

It may surprise you but solid wood flooring is easy to keep clean and because of this it is good for those with allergies as it doesn't trap dust or pet hair like a carpet does. They are stain-resistant and easy to keep clean, any spills are easy to wipe up. Perfect if you have a dog or a baby crawling around. Sweep it on a daily basis to remove any dust, and mop it with a nearly dry mop. Check out how to clean any type of hardwood flooring here.

Added Value



Because of its beauty and its durability, solid wood flooring can add value to your home and make it become more desirable. Buyers do not have to think about replacing the carpet. This, in turn, can make it easier to sell. So if you are thinking of doing home improvements, it's worth considering adding solid hardwood flooring to your home for the look but also the added value.

Cost-effective in the long run

Although initially, solid wood flooring can be more expensive than vinyl and carpet, because of its durability it lasts longer. This means that it is cost-effective in the long run. Carpet can fade, and vinyl can get damaged, but solid wood flooring almost gets better with age, taking on a unique finish.

Acoustics

Solid wood flooring has great acoustics, which is perfect for rooms where you play music. If installed properly they are not noisy rooms, but if concerned just install on ground floors.

As you can see there are many benefits of solid wood flooring for your home.  The timeless appeal, chic look and durability make solid wood flooring a sound investment. Let me know, do you have solid wood flooring? Would you consider having it installed?

  2. I'd really love to add solid wood flooring to our hallway, a high traffic area that is currently carpeted and takes a lot of time and effort to maintain
