The three main types of hardwood flooring – strips, planks and parquet -offer every homeowner a personalized choice when it comes to buying the best wood floors for their home. Solid wood floors require special upkeep, just like any other valuable product, but the satisfactions cannot be ignored. Hardwood flooring is a product constantly sought after due to its exceptional resistance (it can last for decades if properly cared for), its soft yet firm feeling and beautiful textures.

If you are still asking yourself what you should choose – hardwood or laminate – there are a few things to consider, like durability, scratch resistance or looks. While dents and scratches in wood floors can be easily repaired and imperfections can be sanded, laminate flooring is not that easy to repair, but it balances out with installation cost effectiveness.

Hardwood floors must be cared for and loved in order to live up to their full potential: sanding the wood and refreshing the finishes when it needs a little sprucing up, cleaning the floors with special wood products, keeping the floor ventilated and not allowing moisture to threat your beautiful floors.

Avoid installing hardwood floors in the kitchen or the bathroom. Instead, use it to beautify living spaces and private areas, where your family and guests can enjoy the exceptional features of the wood. When it comes to installing hardwood floors, you should carefully choose the material.

Different woods have different textures, colours or scents and there is a wide variety of designs to suit any need – from traditional to contemporary. It’s up to you to find the best hardwood floor for your dream home. More info if you visit website.
