Why consider hardwood flooring in your home?

Hardwood flooring has a reputation, as it should, for one of the most extended lifespans in the flooring industry. But if the possibility of never having to replace your floors isn't appealing enough, you're sure to fall in love with one or more of the additional characteristics you'll find in this product line. So, read along to learn more about these materials and what they can do in your household.

Solid wood can easily last more than 100 years, especially when professionally installed and properly maintained, but engineered materials can provide about 30 years under the same circumstances. Engineered materials are a splendid alternative to solid wood in below-grade areas and handle moisture, dampness, and humidity much better than their solid counterparts. They also offer a faster installation, even though you’ll have fewer stain color and finish options during the process.

Both materials give you options for extensive customizations in species choices, stain colors, finishes, formats, and installation methods, which means it's one of the most customizable materials in the flooring industry. Moreover, since hardwood flooring is always on-trend, it's not hard to find a look that will remain current for decades or more. But even more than that, you’ll enjoy being able to refinish your floors instead of replacing them once wear begins to show.

Installing wood floors does take time, precision, and great attention to detail, but the results are well worth your time.
