BENEFITS OF WOOD FLOORS

No other flooring offers the warmth, beauty, and value of wood. Wood flooring enhances the decor of any room and provides timeless beauty that will increase in value throughout the years. In fact, in a national survey of real estate agents, 90 percent said that houses with wood flooring sell faster and for higher prices than houses without wood floors.

EASE OF MAINTENANCE

The maintenance of today's wood floors is easy! New technology in stains and finishes call for regular cleaning that takes little more than sweeping and/or vacuuming, with occasional use of a professional wood floor cleaning product. You will want to use a cleaning product recommended by your flooring manufacturer, installer, or another wood flooring professional. This will ensure that you use the proper cleaner for your type of flooring and finish.

ECOLOGICAL

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. 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.

AFFORDABLE

Today's wood floors are affordable. Over time, wood floors maintain their value. When other flooring options are looking tired and worn out, wood floors will still look beautiful and timeless.

VARIETY

Wood floors have come a long way in the past few years. Today, there are more styles, colors, and species of wood flooring available than ever before. Whether you're looking for traditional Oak, rustic Pine, exotic Wenge, or trendy Bamboo, you're sure to find a color and style to fit your decor.

HEALTHY

According to an EPA study, wood floors do not harbor allergens, microorganisms, or harmful pesticides that can be tracked in from outdoors. In addition, dust, mold, and animal dander contamination is minimal in homes with wood floors. Based on these EPA findings, wood floors promote healthier living and work environments. Wood flooring is also easier on your joints than other hard surface flooring options, such as ceramic tile.
