“They feel so much warmer to the feet than ceramic tile”, stated one customer. Many enjoy not only the feel of hardwood over tile, but find many other benefits as well. We will discuss some of the pro’s and con’s of hardwood over other flooring choices.
The natural beauty of wood has long attracted people to this type of floor. Besides the different types of wood choices, from oak, cherry, maple and so on, wood floors can be stained to suit your decorating needs. As your decorating taste changes, so can your floors. A lighter floor can open up small spaces, but when you remodel and take out that wall that has always bothered you, you can sand and stain your wood floors to a darker richer color that often looks great in more open areas. Having this versatility can be a great feature that beats carpet or tile.
Also, many give considerable thought to their return on what they invest in their home. “I only plan on being in this house another 5 years. I know wood floors are a great selling feature, so I figured, why not enjoy the wood floors now and then get more of a return when I sell my home”, one customer reasoned. Realtors often highlight ‘wood floors throughout this beautiful home’ when listing their houses. Often homeowners make improvements to their homes, after realizing at time of listing that their improvements were futile. With hardwoods you can’t go wrong!
Though hardwood costs more than many carpet choices, many choose the previous not only for the reasons listed above, but also for the cleaning and wear factor. Yes, no matter how many times you vacuum or clean those carpets, they don’t seem to clean up well. And how about all those particles trapped in the carpet that never get vacuumed up. Ask someone that rips out carpet and they can tell some good stories of what they find. It is no surprise that many who suffer from allergies, find blissful sleep when they have hardwood in their bedroom. Keeping hardwood clean is quite simple. A quick dry mop or vacuum will do the trick. If more cleaning is necessary at times a spray cleaner for hardwood floors is quick and easy to use.
