Engineered oak and hardwood flooring have numerous advantages over other types of flooring available to a consumer. Acquiring hardwood from a flooring company might cost slightly more than carpets, for example, but it is a significantly longer-lasting option if maintained correctly, all the while adding a stylish aesthetic and distinctive class to your home. It can even be easier to clean than carpets, linoleum or low quality laminate products, which all suffer from bad wear and tear over a short amount of time. Read on to discover the numerous ways engineered oak or hardwood flooring from a flooring company can greatly improve your home.
Fitted hardwood or engineered oak flooring is very durable and resistant to everyday damage, with its maintenance being much simpler than carpeted flooring. If you spill liquid or tread dirt onto a hardwood floor, it can be easily cleaned up simply and quickly. This is great if you’ve got pets and/or children, and helps you properly relax in your home without worrying about any sort of serious damage taking place.
Whatsmore, if hardwood flooring begins to look tired after (many) years of use, you can rather easily contact a flooring company to sand and seal the wood again, reviving it back to its original state.
Hygienically, hardwood floors are much cleaner than carpets. This is excellent if you’re a pet owner, as engineered hardwood or oak flooring doesn’t hold in parasites such as fleas, dust mites, or allergen-producing bacteria. Any nasty odours or unpleasant accidents from your pets will also be less of an issue, helped by the hardwood’s easy cleaning process.
It could be said that hardwood and engineered oak flooring in general is an extremely underrated design choice in its distinct and timeless aesthetic. Unlike carpet styles or tile patterns, hardwood is always in fashion and is available from a flooring company in a range of shapes, colours, and patterns to accurately suit the look you want to achieve in your home. It can create a range of effects on a room, varying from old-timey to modern and from cosy to sharp, depending on your choice of design.
Flooring companies provide hardwood floors for a range of prices and you’ll be able to find the perfect engineered oak flooring for your budget. Even if you select a pricier option, hardwood floors can save you money in the long run by being a durable and easily-maintainable flooring option that won’t need replacing – and it can even raise a house’s asking price by up to 2.5%!
