Why Choose Hardwood Flooring?
“Thinking about why hardwood flooring... besides the fact that it looks and wears fabulously, is a snap to clean, and is proven to be much more friendly to allergy sufferers than carpet, it actually improves the resale value of your home. Hardwood floors are said to be the best value for the dollar. ‘Beauty that lasts a lifetime,’ is the slogan for the NWFA. Wood floors can be refinished and repaired many times over and look new again each time.”
— Timothy L. Daly, TGB Flooring.
Benefits of Wood Floors
No other flooring offers the warmth, beauty, and value of wood. Wood flooring enhances the décor of any room, and provides timeless beauty that will increase in value throughout the years. In fact, in a national survey of real estate agents, 90 percent said that houses with wood flooring sell faster and for higher prices than houses without wood flooring. That’s money in your pocket.
Ease of Maintenance
Maintenance of today’s wood flooring 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 professional wood floor 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.
