Which Wooden Floor Is Best For Your Home

The advantages of a wooden floor in your home, especially if you have small children or pets is massive. It’s so much easier to keep your floor clean and it reduces the amount of dust and dirt that it is held in a carpet.

In addition, a carpet will periodically have to be cleaned by a professional cleaning company and even then it never quite looks the same as when you first had the carpet laid. A wooden floor is easy to clean with a quality cleaner and always looks brand new. Mopping up drinks that have been spilled or mud that the kids or your dog have trampled through your home is so much easier to clean on a wooden floor.

Picking the right wooden floor can be duplicated a minefield because there are so many options available on the market nowadays, but I would highly recommend  Engineered Wood Flooring. Engineered wooden flooring is the most popular of all wooden floors and has many benefits that other wooden floors don’t offer. Here are a few reasons why I would pick an engineered wooden floor:

Engineered wooden flooring is, as I have said, a great alternative to solid wood. It has the same quality finish that will revitalise any room in your home but is considerably lower maintenance and is durable in regards to moisture and heat. This is due to the 10mm thickness and it provides a 1.2mm wearable veneer.

The stability of engineered wooden flooring is much better than a solid wood floor due to the way it is made.

It is made up of layers of wood and this is compressed together which will reduce shrinking or expansion when faced with a change in temperature. It’s particularly good to use with under floor heating, which a solid wood floor simply wouldn’t be able to cope with.

The way engineered wooden flooring is constructed also makes it water resistant but spillages should be wiped up quickly. This means that you will be able to have a beautiful wooden floor in your kitchen giving areas that you would not normally be able to lay a wooden floor and creating a stunning and beautiful look.

Engineered wooden floors are also very strong and durable and can cope with a lot of walking over such as a hallway in your home. The life span of engineered wooden floors is just as good as solid wooden floor and even without sanding it will be a long lasting option for your home.

The engineered wooden floor would usually be fitted as a floating floor installation. Installation can be very easy of an engineered wooden floor as the boards interlock to create a seamless floor and can be laid without much disruption to your home and family life can go on as normal.

Finally engineered wooden floors come in many different finishes such as walnut, oak or teak so there are no problems matching the decor in your home.

If you are looking to have wooden flooring fitted in your home I would highly recommend an engineered wooden floor.
