Hardwood floors look great and are much cleaner than carpeted floors.
More and more homeowners are choosing to renovate their homes by replacing their carpeted floors with new hardwood flooring. It is also clearly a winning choice for new home buyers – more home buyers are looking for the elegance of hardwood floors when they shop around. Have you been thinking about replacing your carpeted floor with a new hardwood floor?
Hardwood Floors are Stylish and Cost-Effective
Hardwood floors are seen as more elegant and stylish than carpeted floors. The natural material and the unique installation of each floor leads people to believe that it is more luxurious. It has been used for a long time because, despite changes in fashion, hardwood floor is able to be adapted to match whatever style is in vogue at the time. Also, when a hardwood floor is damaged, it is much easier to refinish and make look like new than ripping up and installing new carpet. This makes hardwood flooring more cost-effective over time.
Clean and Ideal for Those With Allergies
Anyone with a carpet knows how difficult it is to maintain and clean it. Over time, those stains can set into a carpet permanently, leading to an unsightly appearance. Dust and micro-bacteria can also settle into the fibers of a carpet. This can be a particular problem for those suffering from allergies. A hardwood floor, on the other hand, is relatively easy to clean and won’t trap allergens and dander. Wiping the surface clean is all that it takes to alleviate those allergy problems.
Flexibility is a Plus!
If you still want a carpet to make an appearance on your floor, you can always use a throw rug on top of your hardwood floor. Unfortunately, you can’t throw a hardwood floor on top of an existing carpet!
Environmentally Friendly
Your hardwood floor is made with ecologically sound natural wood materials from trees that can be replanted and renewed. Carpet is made from petroleum, which is a limited resource and cannot be renewed. If you’re looking for an environmentally friendly way to finish your floor, hardwood is definitely the way to go!
