Hard wood floor

There are many reasons to choose hardwood floor as your floor covering.

· Wood doesn’t trap fumes or dust like carpet.

· Mold and staining are not problems for wood, like tile grout.

· You can easily and cost-efficiently change the entire look of a wood floor from time to time with stains, paints and inlays.

· There is no depreciation on a wood floor. In fact, it usually increases the resale value of a home.

· Wood flooring is the best choice for the environment. Production is cleaner than alternatives.

· Wood is more energy efficient. The cellular structure of wood traps air, giving it superior insulating properties. It takes 15 inches of concrete to equal the insulation qualities of just one inch of wood.

Once you’ve made the wise choice to add wood flooring to your home, you will want to care for it to keep it as beautiful as the day it was laid. Cleaning can be a daily chore because you’ll notice dirt and dust is more visible than it was with carpet or tile. Without an inch of fiber and grout depressions, soil has no place to go.

Cleaning hard wood floors requires very few tools or chemicals. Sweeping or vacuuming the entire surface every day is a great place to start. Dirt and dust act like sandpaper on your floor, creating scratches and nicks that can eventually require a professional to fix.
