Wood Flooring in Weston-super-Mare
You may have chosen real wood flooring because it looks good, it is chic, and is always in Vogue. What you may not be aware of is the many other reasons for choosing real wood:
Healthier Option
Allergen producing dust mites, flees and dust trapped in a carpet can play havoc with allergy sufferers – with wood, nothing is hidden.
Easy Clean
Wood flooring is easier to keep clean than carpeting – a simple brush or light vacuum keeps your wood floor looking great and even mud dragged in by pets and kids vanishes with a damp mop.
Odor Free
With wood flooring there are no unpleasant odors – the sweet smell of a polished wooden floor is always an inviting delight
Durable
Woods appeal is timeless – a well-fitted, good quality, wood floor should last for decades where carpeting will almost certainly need replacing sooner.
Cost Effective
Wood flooring is also available to all budgets and tends to appeal more when selling a house, compared to those with other floor finishes.
SO NOW, HAVING WEIGHED UP WHY WOOD IS YOUR FAVOURITE FLOORING, YOU HAVE A FEW MORE CHOICES.
