ADVANTAGES OF HARDWOOD FLOORING
Even though the upfront cost of hardwood flooring is high, it is a long-term investment that pays for itself. A house with hardwood flooring usually sells faster, which reflects how the right choice of flooring can increase a home’s value. Not only does hardwood flooring provide a rich look to a home, but its texture just keeps getting better with time.
A LONG-TERM INVESTMENT
Hardwood flooring can last for more than a hundred years if they are maintained well. Hardwood might seem like a big investment initially, but you do not need to replace it every 10 or 20 years like other types of flooring. Hardwood floors are durable and have stood the test of time. It also provides a good return on investment, as the value of wood flooring continues to increase with time. Maintenance is a breeze...just need sweeping or vacuuming and the occasional cleaning with a wood floor cleaner. Home owners are willing to pay top dollar for homes with hardwood floors. Also, homes with hardwood floors tend to sell faster than homes with wall-to-wall carpeting. Builders consider hardwood flooring an upgrade; they do not charge extra for carpet.

● Brazilian Cherry
● Tigerwood
● Australian Cypress
● Brazilian Walnut

Engineered Hardwood The Next Best Thing: Why You Should Consider Engineered Hardwood
● The ply layers provide stability because of the tight bonds. As such, engineered hardwood floors block moisture better than conventional hardwood floors. This means that the product offers better function and durability, significantly in areas that have moisture.
● Unlike laminate, the surface of engineered hardwood is real hardwood. Engineered hardwood flooring provides an authentic feel and appearance.
● Engineered wood flooring is competitively priced when compared to solid hardwood floors. You can get a hardwood floor for a fair price.
● With engineered hardwood flooring, you can enjoy effortless cleaning and maintenance. Spills do not leave stains, and you can clean up with a mop.
● Engineered hardwood is easy to install. You can use it for a DIY project.
● Engineered hardwood floors are environmentally friendly. Hardwood trees take time to grow, and unsustainable usage causes depletion. Engineered hardwood uses veneers, which consumes less hardwood, which gives trees time to mature.
