subject: Benefits Of Installing Hardwood Floors In Your Homes [print this page] There are a lot of advantages to installing wood floors in a Plano home. While you have a variety of flooring choices like carpet, wood, tile, laminates; wood has stood the test of time and is a cost effective way to add beauty, value, comfort and convenience to your home. Here, we will discover just a few of the benefits of installing hard wood floors (or refinishing the floors underneath your old carpets).
Long-lasting
Of all your choices listed above, wood and tile are going to last the longest. Carpet will look dingy and used after only a couple of years, and laminates will eventually peel away or start to break down. Carpets are the worst, hiding all sorts of nasty unmentionables below the surface that vacuuming and steam cleaning will never pull out. Tile is a beautiful and long lasting choice, but can be very expensive at the end of the day. Wood, while more expensive in the beginning than carpet, will earn it is keep by lasting much longer and being much easier to clean. And on that note.
Convenience
What could be easier than simply sweeping and mopping to clean your floor? No more heavy vacuum or having to move every piece of furniture to clean your carpet. Brooms can easily reach places a vacuum cannot, and there is nowhere for all the nasty things that carpet can hide to run from your broom and mop. Regular sweeping and mopping, combined with an occasional wipe down with a wood conditioner, and your floor will be nice and shiny for years to come.
Got Allergies?
Allergies are sensitive to a lot of things: dust, pollen, pet dander, dust mites, mold where all of which can hide and grow in carpets. You will find none of this with hard wood floors. There is nowhere for them to hide. Anything that could be hidden by a carpet is in full view on a hard wood floor.
Eventually Selling?
Whether you plan on selling the home eventually or not, the value of the home should be on your list of things to watch for. Even if you are going to spend the rest of your days in the home, it would be nice if you could leave a wonderful, attractive and valuable home to whomever may inherit your home. Hard wood floors add beauty and value to your home as many buyers are looking for, and will pay more for, hard wood floors.
These are just a few of the top advantages to installing hard wood floors in a Plano home. With this list, you can probably think of quite a few more things. There is no longer lasting, more beautiful, more cost effective way to upgrade your living space than hard wood floors.
