Hardwood Flooring

Why Wood Floors?

No other flooring offers the warmth, beauty, and value of wood. Wooden 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 agrents, 90 percent said that houses with wooden flooring sell faster for higher prices than houses without them. While the beauty and elegane of wood enhances a home's charm, it is much more than an aesthetic choice. Wooden flooring provides real benefits over other floor coverings. First, wood is an excellant insulator. And contrary to popular belief, hardwood actually protects against fire as it chars and burns slowly, never melting or crumbling. Wood is also easy to work with and unlike other floor coverings can be stained, cut, shaped, and refinished, giving it durability spanning generations.

Ease of Maintenance

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 proffessional cleaning product.You will want to use a cleaning product recommended by your flooring manufacturer, installer, or other wood flooring professional. This will ensure that you use the proper cleaner for your type of flooring and finish.
