Why Choose Wood Flooring?
Affordable
Wood floors add value to your residence at resale time, not to mention
it is a lifetime product. They increase in value as your home does.
Hardwood floor products are one of the most sought after hard surface
flooring in remolding and new home construction.
Easy to Maintain
Routine
maintenance is a little more than simple sweeping and vacuuming, always
making sure your hardwood floors are protected from moisture and heavy
wear which creates scratches. Preventive maintenance like area rugs,
floor protectors (on ALL furniture on your hardwood floors), and
routine maintenance with proper hardwood floor cleaner should always be
exercised.
Ecologically Sound
Wood
floors come from a natural resource that is sustainable. Long gone are
the days when timber was cut down with little thought for the long term
consequences on the nation's forests. Today most timber is cut from
forests that are carefully managed to ensure continued resources in the
future. In fact, according to U.S. Forest Service statistics, almost
twice as much hardwood timber Is added every year through new growth as
is harvested. Additionally, there is more standing hardwood timber
today than there was 50 years ago.
Healthy
The
Environmental Protection Agency has said that indoor air quality is one
of our top health threats. Installed in the home or elsewhere, wood
floors help contribute to a healthy living environment. Hard surface
flooring such as hardwood floors does not rap or harbor dust mites or
molds. That creates better air quality for all inhabitants, but
especially for the estimated 35 million Americans who suffer from
allergies. The hard surface of wood floors also helps avoid artificial
substances such as pesticides that can accumulate on some floor
coverings.
Selection and Variety
With
today's technologically advanced manufacturing, stains and finishes,
hardwood floors come in many sizes, styles, colors, finishes and
species. These many choices can compliment any home or office with
style and a beautiful product that last a lifetime.
