WOOD FLOORING

Buying a hardwood floor is an important decision. Before investing a considerable amount of money, it is essential to know your priorities when it comes to floor coverings. You should consider possible designs, choice of wood species, durability, installation methods, maintenance and the numerous benefits you will get from a hardwood floor. Wood flooring is timeless; it is a natural resource, renewable and recyclable. For natural beauty, it's hard to beat the warmth of real hardwood flooring. It enhances and complements all decors and styles.


Like a piece of fine furniture, wood flooring increases in value and becomes more beautiful with time. In a national survey, 90 percent of real estate agents said houses with wood flooring sell faster And, because wood does not collect dust and other allergens, many leading health associations agree that wood floors are the perfect choice for a healthy home. Wood floors are ecologically friendly. Since it is a natural resource, wood is both renewable and recyclable. Many of yesteryear's old wood ships, warehouses, barns, and other structures often find a second life in wood flooring.
