Hardwood flooring, the not-so-hard choice
One
of the most sought-after floor coverings in the flooring industry has always
been hardwood flooring. Just by looking at the number of other floor coverings
that mimic the look of solid wood, you can gauge its popularity among
homeowners. It has an elegant and timeless look that lasts decades, and through
many changes in decor trends. It easily matches a variety of decorating
schemes, from minimal to highly artistic, and everything in between. What’s
more, it has one of the longest lifespans in flooring. And we’d like to tell

Facts about hardwood flooring
As
you already know, hardwood flooring has an incredibly long lifespan. So much
so, in fact, it may be the last floor covering you ever have installed.
Choosing the proper species for your specific activity and traffic levels can
help the flooring reach that expected lifespan, as can the proper finish type.
Some finishes, such as hard scraped and distressed, can help to hide signs of
everyday wear and tear, which also lengthens the lifespan.
Another thing that helps your floors to last their longest is the refinishing process.
Once wear and tear does finally start to show through, having your floors
refinished can bring them back to a like-new finish, all over again. Years of
abuse are stripped away, leaving only a fresh layer of hardwood, which gets a
new stain color and a new finish. Depending on care and maintenance, you can go
a few decades between refinishing sessions.
It should be noted that hardwood flooring should never be installed in below-ground spaces such as basements or basement rooms. You should also make sure to use a professional installation team to make sure this flooring is properly installed.
