wood flooring in your home!
Whether your personal style leans toward a clean, contemporary design or the hominess of a traditional Colonial style, wood floors fit right into the decor, and everything in between. Depending on the wood 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 decor in any room in your home.
A new wood floor will add more value to your home than any other
flooring option, including tile or wall-to-wall carpeting. And unlike
other options, wood floors maintain their value over the years. 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 ads.
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, and serve as a breeding ground for dust mites and 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 kid gloves. 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 and shiny. Polyurethane sealant will maintain a high gloss or soft sheen, while protecting the floor 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 or remodeling project? As you can see, wood is a natural choice for beauty, value and durability!
