For years, carpet has been the flooring of choice because of the misconception that it is warmer and more comfortable than real wood floors. There are many pros and cons to both types of flooring but here we will explain how you can benefit from real wood floors throughout your home.
Real Wood Floors are easy to clean
When compared to carpet, wooden flooring is much easier to maintain and keep clean and does not hold and contain hidden dust and dirt. Any debris, grit and dirt will be visible as it sits on surface, whereas it can bury into the piles of carpet. Soon after installation, carpet will begin to flatten, hold dirt and fade. Your hoover will remove a certain percentage of dust and dirt but will not bring back the original deep pile from when you first had it fitted and that newly fitted smell will soon disperse. With the build up of dirt and grime in your carpet, you will find that odours will begin to rise from the fibres which are also quite difficult to remove.
Busy homes with lots of traffic will find that carpets quickly become tired and worn. Food and liquid spillages occur often along with mess and hair build up from pets that you can’t see. If you have matching carpet throughout your home, you will find that you will never get a match if you a replacing carpet in individual rooms.
Wooden Flooring is extremely low maintenance. Any spillages from liquid or food can easily be removed and cleaned without leaving anything behind. Pet hair can easily be seen and swept away. Wood flooring is also ideal for anyone with dust allergies as any dust can easily be swept or hoovered up from the surface.
Real Wood Floors look better
There is no comparison, real wood floors simply look better than carpet. If you wish to break up the floor with a rug, you can do this to match your colour scheme and easily change as your colours change. Much to many misconceptions, wooden flooring can be fitted in any room if done professionally.
