Hardwood flooring offers warmth and richness
to a home. It can enhance the decor of any room while being easy to maintain.
Most hardwood floors require little more than regular sweeping or vacuuming.
While some concerns exist about the depletion of forests, there are
a large number of products certified as being drawn from sustainably
harvested forests. Furthermore, wood from old structures is also available,
recycled for another life in your home.
While wood flooring may have a larger initial capital outlay, over its
lifespan it works out to be cheaper than many other popular flooring
options.
Finally, wood flooring has an important health benefit of not collecting
dust and other allergens. In fact, many leading health associations recommend
wood floors as a good choice for a healthy home.
