There are not very many flooring options that tend to look better as they get older and are used every single day but natural hardwood flooring is the exception to the rule. It is the perfect flooring choice for homes and businesses that have many people walking across the floors all the time and it is the perfect choice for busy areas like kitchens, hallways and from a business point of view, the reception area.
This type of flooring provides you with the strength that you need as well as the durability required for the busy lives that we lead all across Australia today. It is incredibly resilient and offers you a smooth surface that just looks amazing.
Many Australian homes decide to put down oak timber flooring because they know that it is the best option every single time and although it may cost a little bit more than other floor choices, it will help to pay for itself in no time at all and it adds immediate value to your property. You should always look at installing timber flooring as an investment and if you decide to sell the property further down the line then you will be able to recover the money that you spent and then some.
If your childhood home was always carpeted and you are somewhat reluctant to make the change to this better flooring option then the following are just some of the real-life benefits of doing so.
- It is so durable – As was mentioned briefly before when you choose any other flooring option, it tends to date and where over time and at the very end it looks terrible. The opposite happens with hardwood floors and the more they are used and if properly finished, the better they look. You will notice the colour and the character of the wood start to change over time but not in a bad way.
- Incredibly hygienic – In today’s modern world, many Australian kids are dealing with allergies on an ongoing basis and it usually down to dust and other bacteria. The wonderful thing about a real wooden floor is that there is no for the bacteria to hide and so it and dust can be easily cleaned away with some warm water, a little bit of detergent and some elbow grease.
- It looks amazing – If you decide to install oak timber flooring then you’re making a very wise decision because it is a timeless choice and there are so many different shapes, finishes and types to choose from. It will blend in easily with any of your decorating choices and you’re also doing the environmentally responsible thing and reducing your carbon footprint.
Hopefully, these three reasons will help you to make the switch to installing timber flooring and believe me when I tell you that you will not have any regrets at all. The value of your home or business property will increase immediately and it is pretty straightforward and easy to take care of.
