Don’t you find it amazing that two or three generations ago home owners wanted to cover their original hardwood floors with wall-to-wall carpeting? That was all the rage at that time. American decorators and home owners have come full circle and now hardwood floors are the rule rather than the exception.
Think of all the lessons that have been learned about hardwood. Hardwood floors are forever. There is a bevy of homes that have stood for a hundred years or more that still have their original flooring. Naturally, it has been refinished a few times. But the quality and beauty is still there.
When you think about the difference between hardwood and carpeting, the financial benefit is astounding. Let’s say you own your home for 30 years and you have always had carpeting. If carpeting lasts for five years, you will have replaced it six times! If hardwood has been originally put down, you would not have had to replace it at all!
There is a health aspect regarding hardwood. Besides being much easier to clean and maintain, it will not trap dust, pollen, animal dander or allergens. With so many youngsters and adults with asthma and other breathing problems, hardwood makes for cleaner interior air quality.
What turns you on? Do you like narrow plank or wide plank? Do you prefer lighter stains or the darker ones? Do you crave oak, maple, cypress, hickory, pine or cherry? Would you like a distressed look? Oh my, the choices go on and on
