There was a time when the term eco-friendly evoked images of tasteless and uninteresting materials in the surroundings of a house. Thankfully today, as more and more designers are seeking out Eco-friendly materials for their environmentally-savvy clients, manufacturers have stepped up and given the design world many beautiful options to pick from, wooden flooring being the most preferred emerging alternative.
Wood flooring became less popular when people started to think of it as being difficult to maintain. Not in recent times though as this flooring is seeing a surge of popularity. Featured as “most desirable” in many modern homes, wooden flooring has various advantages that include:
- Long Lasting: The biggest advantage of a wooden floor is that it lasts for a lifetime. The investment in wooden flooring is a big positive as carpets wear out in a couple of years by losing texture and beauty over time.
- Effortless Cleaning: Easy cleaning is another feature that makes wooden flooring so desirable. A simple mop and dust session is are enough to clean the entire floor, and it does not damage the floor surface. On the other hand, carpets need constant vacuuming, which is a huge task in itself.
- Insulation Benefits: Engineered floor planks, made from layers of wood, are designed to be hard to wear out and are easy to install. They offer important insulation benefits, providing the home with under-floor heating.
- Hygiene: Wooden floors are more hygienic as they save you from the germs and bacteria that are generally found in carpeted floors. Also, carpet traps start smelling and need cleansing, which is not required in wooden flooring, thus saving you time and energy.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Wooden floors leave a long-lasting impression on the minds of your guests, enhancing the value of the house and giving it a timeless appeal.
So, are you ready to transform your current flooring with a beautiful, natural product that has been created without harming the environment?
