Wooden flooring has traditionally been the go-to choice for many households due the beautiful appearance of the colour and grain found in many tree species. It can make your home feel warm and add character to rooms no matter their size.
Classically, wood flooring was only available in certain wood types, but can now be purchased in a range of wood types, colours, and finishes. This makes it an attractive prospect for all styles and tastes.
But what are the other benefits of wooden flooring?
Strength and durability
One of the best advantages to installing a wood floor in your home is the strength and durability wood can offer. Be it solid wood or engineered wood, they can stand up to the test of daily life without losing their appeal. For longevity, we would recommend purchasing a top-quality wood, as these can last far longer and is an extremely cost-effective option.
Easy to maintain
Everyone wants a floor that is easy to clean and maintain and wood flooring is exactly that, especially when compared with carpet. They are far more resistant to spills and dirt, so are an excellent choice for households with children, pets or for those that do not have the time to fit in regular cleaning.
They are easily swept for dust and dirt and can be cleaned with specialist products that are found from most good flooring and hardware shops, we would not recommend using a lot of water or all-purpose cleaning solutions as this can cause damage to the wood planks.
Style
Wood floors are a favourite of interior designers thanks to their classic design and ageless look and feel. Wood planks will naturally age and mellow out over the years, giving a unique character to your home whilst staying timeless. Wood flooring has never gone out of style, meaning that even though trends may change, your home will always look chic and warm, regardless of the wood flooring you choose.
Better for your home
Wood flooring is more hygienic than other flooring types. This is due to not having a surface that can harbour dust or pollen, and if you have pets, any fleas, or parasites. This makes wood flooring an ideal solution for allergy sufferers and those with animals such as cats or dogs.
Variety
Wood floors are available in a wide variety of styles and colours, meaning that you no longer have to stick to the traditional feel and colour of oak planks. From dark, rich woods that give an opulent and sophisticated atmosphere to your home to the lighter, more modern, and contemporary styles of greys and vanilla, you are sure to find a wood finish that can match any home décor.
Keep your home warm
Compared to tiled or laminate flooring, wood can make your home far more comfortable to live in as it is not as cold. Engineered wood flooring is also compatible with adding underfloor heating, so you can stay warm all year round.
Easy Installation
If you choose to go with an engineered wood floor, you will find that they are easy and quick to have installed.
Many businesses will offer types of this flooring with an interlocking "click" system, which makes installation simple and straightforward. You simply click each board with the next, to create a floating floor that does not require any glues or adhesives and can be easily taken up again if you wish to redecorate or redesign your room in the future.
Long term investment
Although more expensive than other types of flooring, the longevity offered by wood floors make them a worthy investment and cost effective over time. This is a real benefit for your home in the future and with many companies offering finance deals on the floor of your choice, wood flooring is more affordable than ever and can stand the test of time far better than cheaper materials.
