Solid hardwood floors continue to be highly sought-after by a variety of homeowners. With an amazing variety of available benefits, their long lifespan continues to be a reason for their immense popularity. Easily reaching 100 years of age with proper care and maintenance, some have been known to last even longer. Below grade, spaces are specifically off limits for solid hardwood flooring. The moisture, humidity, and temperature changes in those spaces can negatively affect the wood, causing problems such as warping, bowing, and splitting of the wood. In spaces like this, you can choose a product such as engineered wood flooring. This material features a veneer of real wood between a cork backing and a protective wear layer, and can even be refinished a couple of times before needing to be replaced. If, for any reason, your hardwood floors are subject to moisture or experience water damage, be sure to take advantage of our water restoration services. If you’re looking for cost-effective flooring, you can’t go wrong with hardwood flooring. In fact, when compared with a competing material over the course of time, these floors can even turn out to be cheaper overall. If you only consider the up-front pricing, it can seem like an expensive choice. However, when options are weighed, you might just be surprised at what you find. For allergy sufferers, hardwood floors can be the best choice of all. Air quality with other materials can often be compromised due to “hiding places” where allergens such as pet dander, pollen, dust, and other small particles can hide. When they resurface at some later point, it can make your allergies act up. Those “hiding places” don’t exist in wood flooring, and anyone suffering from allergies will quickly be able to tell the difference.
