The Perfect Choice
When shopping around for a new floor covering, many people are impressed by wood's natural
beauty,durability and stype, but forget another positive aspect of wood flooring: its environmental soundness. From its sustainable source to its healthy qualities indoors, wood flooring makes a smart choice for the world's environment and the environment in your own home.
Another reason for choosing wood floors over other floor coverings is that not only is wood easy to keep clean, but after a quick clean with a vacuum and a damp mop the wood surface is virtually allergy free - particularly important for asthma or allergy sufferers and families.
Versatility
Wood flooring comes in a variety of different species, colors, grain patterns, and sizes. Stains can be used to alter the coloration to suit any taste. Wood can also be arranged in a number of different patterns and styles that will also personalize the your floor to your liking. These customized styles such as herringbones, inlays, tile and wood combinations, and variable widths are examples of versatility of wood flooring.
Living Healthy
The Environmental Protection Agency states that indoor air quality is one of our top health threats. Installed in the home or elsewhere, wood floors help contribute to a healthy living environment. Hardwood floors do not harbor dust mites or moulds. wood floor creates better air quality for all inhabitants, and especially for allergiy sufferers. The hard surface of wood floors also helps avoid artificial substances such as pesticides that can accumulate on some floor coverings. A recent EPA study found that pesticides used in gardens and homes accumulate on floors and other surfaces in the home, but that wood floors greatly reduce the accumulation of such toxins. Another concern for the home environment is the off-gassing of toxins that results from some synthetic materials. Any of these chemicals can make people in the home chronically ill.
Lifetime Floor
Wood flooring is not a short-term investment. Unlike soft floor coverings such as carpet which look worse as they get older, your wood floor will become more and more beautiful with age. your floor will probably last the life of your building. if you ever want to dispose of your floor, it's a naturally biodegradable product - it won't end up in a landfill site.
