What Are The Benefits Of A Hardwood Floor?

Hardwood flooring's benefits go beyond their surface beauty.  

With their high-end looks, hardwood floors make any space more elegant. Although your initial hardwood purchase might sting a bit, in the long haul, you'll save significantly: hardwood flooring is made to last for generations.

Other hardwood benefits include: 

• Durability:  Made from natural wood, hardwood floors are organically built to manage hard wear, heavy furniture, high-heeled shoes, and almost every other daily assault. 

• Easy To Adapt: Since hardwood flooring can be sanded down and refinished repeatedly, you won't have to change your floor when you refresh your style.

• Easy To Clean: Your hardwood floor doesn't absorb debris, dust, and other allergens, so the air in your home will flow better, while dirt won't get stuck on or embedded. 

• Wired For Sound: Since your hardwood flooring reduces vibrations, your space's acoustics will significantly improve. 

• Adventures In Resale: Did you know that a hardwood floor can increase your home's value by up to 80 percent? Potential buyers prize hardwood's longevity. 

• Eternal Style: Hardwood flooring has proven itself to be truly timeless, with its classic looks and eclectic style. Bonus: if cared for properly, your floor will last for decades—even generations. 

What Is Engineered Hardwood Flooring? 

Did you know that not all hardwood floors are exactly alike?

While they appear identical on the surface, solid hardwood and engineered hardwood floors are two distinct flooring families. 

• Solid hardwood flooring is made from—you guessed it—a single, solid hunk of natural wood in every plank. It is the OG in the world of hard surface floors. It is the flooring in antique homes, old-time meeting houses, and historic properties. Your solid hardwood floor is made to last for decades. Solid hardwood has amazing staying power, as you can repeatedly sand it down and refinish it. However, solid hardwood floors cannot be installed below grade. 

• Engineered hardwood flooring is a new take on a time-honored classic. Manufactured in dense layers, it contains plywood, fiberboard, and a prime cut of premium wood as its top layer. Your engineered hardwood brings all the brilliant textures and finishes of a solid floor at a lower cost. It can be installed below grade- you can even use it in your finished basement. However, engineered hardwoods can't always be refinished, so that's something to remember as you shop. 

Where Can I Install A Hardwood Floor?

Hardwood flooring can be installed in a wide range of settings inside your Iowa homestead.  Please choose your products carefully, keeping the space and daily happenings in mind.

Choose a denser, harder variety of hardwood for rooms where the kids like to play or the dogs like to frolic. Not sure where to begin? The Janka Hardness Scale is a beautiful tool that rates each wood species according to its hardness level. 

Some of the most popular spots for hardwood installation include: 

• Living Rooms
• Bedrooms
• Home Offices
• Dining Rooms

In some cases, hardwood floors can also be installed in spaces like kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and foyers. However, we recommend seeking professional guidance as you select flooring for these spaces. Our industry experts are here to help you manage your hardwood installation project from start to finish.
