1. It’s Easy to Clean
Let’s face it, no matter how many times you vacuum, there is always some dust that remains in the carpet. Even worse, if you have pets, you have to worry about dander and hair getting stuck too.
Hardwood floor is easy to clean. All you need to do is get a wet rag or mop head to clean dust off the surface of the floor.

For deeper cleaning, gentle products such as Fabuloso get dirt to come right up. You can also vacuum hardwood floors, which makes keeping dust off the flooring very simple.
Hardwood is also stain resistant. Unlike carpet, spills can quickly be cleaned-up on hardwood flooring.
2. Durability
Hardwood floors are extremely durable. While the strength of the flooring will depend on the type of wood used, they are overall much stronger than carpeting.
In fact, hardwood often outlasts its buyer! Many historic homes have hardwood floors that have lasted the ages. Better yet, the hardwood floor does not depreciate over many years, so you’ll still have a valuable floor, and valuable home for many years to come.
Hardwood’s durability and strength make it a great option for family homes. When you hire the right flooring company, you’ll know that the floor is built to last the ages.
3. Appearance
Hardwood floors have a beautiful appearance. Buying a hardwood floor adds value to your home and creates a high-quality appearance.
Hardwood floor comes in many different shapes, colors, and wood types which adds a lot of variety to your flooring. You can choose different hardwood patterns to create a unique and beautiful look in your home.

Taking care of our planet is so important. When you buy hardwood flooring, you know you’re taking care not only of your home but of the earth as well.
Hardwood is both natural and sustainable, meaning that it isn’t produced from synthetic materials. It also insulates your house far better than carpet does, which reduces the need to produce heat or air conditioning with fossil fuels.
You can specifically request reclaimed and recycled hardwoods from your supplier to work even further to protect the environment.
5. Hardwood is Healthier
Crazy as it sounds, having hardwood in the home can make you a healthier person! Because hardwood does not trap dust and dander, the air in your home is cleaner. For people with asthma and allergies, hardwood is a great choice.
Hardwood floors also provide better traction than carpeting. For elderly residents, hardwood floors reduce the chance of falls.
