Solid Hardwood Flooring

Why choose hardwood flooring? A number of reasons convince homeowners daily to do so. One great reason is that it is "eco-ficient." This means that it will provide your home with a healthy environment, and be cost efficient in the process.

On the health side of the issue, hardwood floors are just better for you in many instances. Carpets trap moisture that breeds bacteria and mold, which can be very disastrous for the people in your home. Especially for babies and pets (who spend a lot of time on the floor), this can be particularly unhealthy. Hardwood allows you to see exactly what dirt or dust is on your floors, and doesn't trap mites, bacteria, or mold. You should never let water sit on your wood floors, though, as many woods (like red oak) can stain black if this happens.

In the efficient sense, wood floors help keep your home cooler in the hot days of summer, and allow heat to move freely through during winter. Hardwood floors, especially solid hardwood flooring, can be installed to work with your heating system to create an energy efficient environment. Many solid wood floors can also be heated with special units installed underneath.
