Flooring is one of the most expensive and frequently replaced items in a home. Styles and trends change for carpet, tile, and vinyl flooring. Wood flooring has many benefits over other options including longevity, being more sanitary, and adding value to a home.
In comparison to other flooring options, such as carpet that may last only 5 years, a wood floor can last a lifetime. Wood floors stand up to heavy traffic areas of the home. Although a wood floor may become scratched, worn, or dented over decades, it will not need to be replaced. A wood floor can be refinished to look new again, avoiding the expense and headache of replacing carpet, tile, or laminate flooring.
Carpet flooring requires frequent cleaning and is difficult to rid of odors and stains. Carpets can harbor pollen, dust mites, dander, and fleas becoming a nightmare for individuals with allergies. Has a pet or potty training child urinated on the carpet? Special products can be used to attempt to clean out the smell, but any liquid will seep down through the fibers and be trapped below. The best way to avoid the unsanitary conditions of a carpeted room is to pick Wood Flooring in Tribeca, a more hygienic option. Wood flooring is easily cleaned with a hard-floor vacuum or duster and will not just appear clean, as contaminated carpet may appear, it will be clean.
Wood flooring has a timeless appeal. It never goes out of style and has been a popular flooring option for centuries. New homeowners may want to replace the worn and outdated carpet on their property but will want to keep the wood flooring. Homes with wood floors sell for higher prices and sell more quickly than similar homes with other flooring options.
Although the initial investment in a wood floor may be more than carpet or other options, a wood floor is a good long term investment as it will outlive other flooring options, is more sanitary, and may return a higher than initial installation cost value at resale of a home.
