The Best Flooring Choice Is Clear; Hardwood
What is the best flooring choice? The carpet installer will tell you carpet, it’s cheap and hides dirt. The laminate installer will tell you laminate, and obviously the hardwood installer is going to sell you on hardwood floors. Hardwood vs. Laminate Deciding to install hardwood floors into your home or place of business is a wise choice for many reasons. Hardwood flooring has been used for hundreds of years, and the popularity for the elegant look is growing, homebuyers are seeking homes with hardwood floors. Older homes with hardwood floors that were installed at the turn of the century still have beautiful floors, wood floors no matter the age of the wood can be resurfaced and look like a brand new installation today. Try cleaning and repairing laminate flooring that was originally installed at the turn of the century, it most likely won’t make a difference, the stained ripped laminate will still look a hundred years old. Laminate flooring is basically a plastic floor that fades, stains, and rips very easily. You will have none of these problems with hardwood floors. Hardwood vs. Tile Hardwood last longer than almost every flooring choice, and the price for hardwood is affordable, more so than solid tile, which lasts forever, but can crack and to fix a cracked tile will require the entire floor to be ripped up to replace one tile, when your wood floors scratch, all you have to do is have them refinished and they will look like new again, no ripping up wood in an entire room because of a scratch. Hardwood vs. Carpeting If you are like many people and have allergies, you should know hardwood floors don’t trap dust and dander like carpeting. A little know secret about carpeting, carpet is manufactured by the same companies that manufacture vacuum machines in most cases, any carpet is designed and manufactured to have a life expectancy of 5 to 10 years depending on the quality of the carpeting, while hardwood floors are an affordable investment that will last your lifetime and the lifetime of your grandchildren. You do the math, which choice is the obvious best decision? Carpeting stains easily, have a pet? One dog with muddy paws that tracks on your carpeting will have you spending a fortune every five years, not to mention the dirt you can’t see hidden in the carpet. Hardwood vs. Pergo Today many people are going with a hardwood knock off, Pergo flooring, looks like wood, has a warranty, feels like vinyl, why not? Well have you ever thought what happens when your Pergo gets scratched? I know what you are thinking, the warranty right? Wrong! Pergo flooring warranties cover only the one 3"x15" piece that is scratched, which may be in the very middle of your kitchen, to replace that one tiny piece of Pergo you have to rip out the entire Pergo floor up to that one piece. Now is it worth it? Ripping out the entire Pergo kitchen for one piece in the middle of the floor? Now you are catching on, hardwood knock offs aren’t all their cracked up to be? If you really want the hardwood look, get the real thing; did I mention Pergo is also more expensive than hardwood flooring? What is the clear choice now? Hardwood flooring is the best quality flooring that is affordable and will last a lifetime looking like the day they were installed.
