Hardwood Flooring Options :
There are three types of hardwood floors available to you:
-
Solid hardwood flooring is a solid piece of wood from top to bottom.
-
Engineered hardwood flooring is real wood from top to bottom that’s normally made using multiple wood veneers or slats of wood glued together at opposing directions. Mannington only produces engineered hardwood and here’s why:
-
It’s the most environmentally friendly. Engineered hardwood uses half as many trees as solid wood floors
-
Engineered hardwood floors can be installed where solid hardwood floors cannot. You can install engineered hardwood below grade and direct to concrete which you can’t do with solid hardwood floors. It’s so versatile, that you can even install it on walls!
-
Engineered is more dimensionally stable and less likely to warp with seasonal change
3. Composite-engineered hardwood flooring contains real wood on the wearable surface only. The backing and core material may be made up of any type of composite material.
Benefits of Hardwood Floors
- Long-lasting. The life span of a wood floor can exceed 100 years, making it a tremendous value. When they start to lose their luster, some hardwood floors can easily be sanded and refinished multiple times to restore their beauty. As an alternative, if you do not wish to change the color, a screen, and recoat process can refresh the coating and restore the luster of the floor. While hardwood floors are long-lasting, they can be prone to indentation because it’s a natural product. Keep this in mind while you’re shopping and try to find a brand that has extra protection – all Mannington hardwood floors have ScratchResist®, Mannington’s patented high-performance coating, with Aluminum Oxide to help keep floors looking newer and longer.
- Attractive. Whether your home is traditional or contemporary, brand new or centuries old, wood floors offer endless design possibilities to fit your style.
- Easy to clean. Routine cleaning involves sweeping, dust mopping, or vacuuming on the bare floor setting.
- Allergy-friendly. Hardwood doesn’t harbor mold, dust, or animal dander like carpeting does, which makes it better for homes of allergy sufferers.
- Increase a home’s value. According to a Quantitative Evaluation of Real Estate Professionals for the National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA), homes with wood floors sell faster and for more money than homes without them. The study also found that many real estate agents indicate identical homes with wood floors can sell for up to 10% more.
Hardwood Floor Installation
Installing wood floors is a lot more complicated than painting your walls or replacing the hardware on your kitchen cabinets, so it is not recommended as a DIY project. In the long run, you will save money and time by using a professional.
