Looking For A Stunning, Timeless Floor? Here Are Five Reasons You Should Choose Solid Wood Flooring...
When it comes to wooden flooring there are plenty of options on the market; Engineered Wood Flooring and Laminate to name a few. If you're after the ultimate, real wood authenticity though, nothing compares with solid wood floors.
Our latest blog looks at some of the benefits of Solid Wood Flooring, but first, let's cover some of the basics...
What Is Solid Wood Flooring?
Solid wood flooring, or real wood flooring as it's sometimes known, is made of 100% hardwood, throughout the entire board (plank), usually Oak, Maple, Walnut, or Mahogany (with Oak being the most popular on the market).
Whilst it's usually a little more expensive than its engineered counterpart, solid wood flooring is often preferred by customers looking for a true hardwood experience.

5 Benefits of Solid wood Flooring
Easy Maintenance
Solid wood flooring is relatively easy to maintain, requiring not much more care than any other flooring type. Keep your floor clean using a damp mop or cleaning cloth and vacuum (or sweep) regularly and your floor will stay looking stunning!
Durability
Thanks to the slow-growth timber used, real wood floors are extremely durable. What's more, solid wood floors with a lacquer or oil will last years, standing up to even the busiest households.
Adaptable To Any Decor
Solid wood floors are adaptable and extremely versatile, meaning they work with almost any home decor. If you opt for an oak floor for example, you can be sure it'll fit in your home for years, no matter what your style.
Value to Your Home
Wooden Floors can improve the value of your property by almost 10%. Estate agents say this is because many new buyers are no longer looking for floors with carpets and hence pay more. Wooden floors are highly sought after helping your property sell faster and at a higher price.
Better Acoustics
From (loud) music lovers to mums just trying to get some sleep but their 3-year-old just won’t stop running all over the house, Solid wood absorbs vibrations and hollow sounds which can make all the difference if you're looking for a quiet, peaceful living space.
Conclusion
Solid wood flooring is an extremely good investment in any home, really enhancing the look and feel of your house, whilst potentially increasing its value, not to mention lasting years!
If you're looking for a long-term, beautiful option for your home, solid wood flooring is definitely the way to go.
