Benefits of choosing hardwood flooring

When you need a superb floor covering that works to meet a wealth of requirements and preferences, hardwood flooring is a perfect option. Not only does it add timeless elegance and durability, but it offers one of the most extended lifespans in flooring. Now is a great time to read along for the information you need to decide for your household.

It’s easy to find wood floors that meet your needs when you know the benefits each option has to offer. For instance, you can begin by choosing a species type that caters to your need for both visuals and performance. Since some species are harder than others, you can easily customize your level of durability based on your level of household traffic and activity.

Another benefit is an extensive lifespan, with engineered materials offering 30 years or more, and solid hardwood providing 100 years with ease. Keeping up with maintenance and care is a great way to help your floors meet their intended lifespan, refinishing the surfaces when necessary. These could be the last floors you ever have to install as long as you own your home.

Before hardwood flooring can be installed, they must be acclimated, which can take from one to three days or more, based on the humidity in and around your home. The acclimation process helps ensure your flooring doesn't warp, buckle, or crack after installation, giving you more peace of mind for the service.
