Choosing a wood floor is a huge investment so you have to know you are making the right choice. Here we offer an objective look at the pros and cons of wood flooring to help you decide if it is for you.
Whatever the style of your home a wood floor can be tailored to suit your favoured look, whether your home is traditional, rustic or modern. It can be customised to fit perfectly with your décor and home design and wood is a versatile flooring option. Wood floors are timeless and look lovely anywhere.
They are hardwearing and can withstand heavy footfall and use. With due care and a ten yearly recoating to protect from scratching they will last circa 100 years. Wood floors have longevity and will stand the test of time, making them a sound financial investment.
It is easy to look after your wood floor. Sweep and hoover to keep it clean and from time to time have it recoated to protect it from damage
A wood floor doesn’t trap dirt so the air in your home remains clean and fresh and allergy free.
Wood floors can be easily cleaned so spills and mud from little feet and lively pets can easily be cleared up.
Due to being natural they hold the warmth in them in colder months and can be dressed up and accessorised with rugs to enhance the warmth further. You can also change the rugs on them for seasonal variation.
Floors can be protected but they are not entirely immune to scratching and denting. Good maintenance however will help avoid too much damage.
They are not designed to go in wet areas such as bathrooms or they can swell and warp. They need to be cleaned ideally by sweeping and hoovering and if you do mop, use a well wrung mop so as not to cause damage.
Soft furnishings and good quality underlay can help alleviate this issue.
They come at different price points, but your budget will affect your options in terms of wood type and layout.
Wood comes from trees which can be a concern for the environment so look for companies that you know are working towards sustainability and that use reclaimed wood or that source responsibly and are certified as planting trees to replace the trees cut down.
If you are looking for a great investment, something that will add value to your home, is easy to clean and will look amazing for years to come then a wood floor is well worth considering. As long as you don’t want it for your bathroom a wood floor would be a good choice for any home.
