Hardwood floors have been known to add to the air of class and structural strength but more so, to the traditional value that has been adored by many homeowners. Indeed, they are great because they bring about a sense of permanence to the interiors, be they offices or homes, and remain to be a popular trend for many. If there is something that makes the owner of a building gets value for their money, then you cannot forget to mention these kinds of floors. A good thing about these kinds of floors is that there is more than just the traditional value:
- Easy installation – This is true if only it is done by professionals. You can have a uniform as well as a stable fit because these kinds of floors are engineered with these qualities in mind. However, the professionals can advise whether to install the finished or unfinished hardwood floors depending on the configuration of your house.
- Easy to clean – These floors do not accumulate too much of dust, dirt or debris .Mopping, vacuuming and keeping the floor dry is just enough. If you find it involving, you can hire the services of cleaning companies.
- Quality look – They give a unique, aesthetic, yet high end look to your house. These floors are also known to compliment the interior décor of your home.
- Long lifespan – These kinds of floors can last up to 100 years. However, this will depend on the installer’s experience, type of hardwood floor installed and the kind of care or maintenance you give to them.
- Easy refinishing – Unlike other types of flooring, hardwood floors can be refinished or even stained just the way a homeowner wants it. You can choose to have a darker stained wood later and this is easy to do.
- Easy repair – Hardwood does not require much energy to repair. In fact, you do not have to remove all the planks during the repair. An expert simply cuts a piece using a saw and replaces it with another without affecting other planks.
Homeowners can now take advantage of the three main hardwood options to add to the value of their homes. These are:
- Solid wood flooring – This comes in three different types namely plank, parquet and strip flooring, all of which are available as prefinished or unfinished versions.
- Engineered wood flooring – This might be confused with laminate wood flooring but laminate does not have any actual wood in it. Engineered wood flooring has layers made of both plastic laminate veneer and real wood.
- Acrylic impregnated wood – This type of floor is infused with a sealant and some colors throughout the wood’s thickness. This type of flooring is installed in commercial buildings because it is very hard and a great resistant to scratches and moisture.
You can work closely with specialists from a home improvement company when choosing the right kind of flooring for your house. For instance, while solid hardwood floors may require a little upkeep such as getting them re-sanded or prefinished, the engineered hardwood floors might not need this kind of upkeep but cannot retain their actual value like solid hardwood floors do!
