FAQs About Hardwood Flooring
What are the different types of hardwood flooring?
Hardwood flooring comes in two main types:
- Solid Hardwood – Made from a single piece of natural wood, offering durability and the ability to be refinished multiple times.
- Engineered Hardwood – Composed of a real wood veneer on top of a layered core, making it more resistant to moisture and temperature changes while still providing the beauty of real wood.
How do I maintain and clean hardwood floors?
To keep hardwood floors looking their best:
- Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dust and dirt.
- Use a damp (not wet) microfiber mop with a hardwood-friendly cleaner.
- Avoid excess moisture and harsh chemicals.
- Place rugs in high-traffic areas and felt pads under furniture to prevent scratches.
Can hardwood flooring be installed in kitchens or bathrooms?
While hardwood flooring can be installed in kitchens, proper precautions should be taken, such as wiping up spills immediately and using mats in high-moisture areas. Bathrooms, however, are not ideal for hardwood due to humidity and water exposure, which can cause warping. Engineered hardwood is a better option for moisture-prone areas.
How long do hardwood floors last?
With proper care, solid hardwood floors can last 50-100 years, while engineered hardwood typically lasts 20-30 years. The lifespan depends on factors like foot traffic, maintenance, and refinishing. Many hardwood floors can be sanded and refinished multiple times to restore their original beauty.
Does hardwood flooring increase home value?
Yes! Hardwood floors are a highly desirable feature for homebuyers and can significantly increase a home's resale value. Their timeless appeal, durability, and easy maintenance make them a long-term investment that adds character and sophistication to any home.
Does hardwood flooring impact indoor air quality?
Hardwood floors do not trap dust, pollen, pet dander, or allergens, making them a great option for allergy sufferers. Many hardwood products also have low-VOC finishes, reducing indoor air pollutants and promoting a healthier home environment.
