Sustainable Hardwood

Hardwood Is A Healthy, Sustainable Flooring Option

Hardwood... for a Healthier Home

Carpets trap dust, allergens, pet hair and dander. Replacing them with a beautiful, easy to clean hardwood floor is a smart move.

As we learn more and more about the nature of carpets, what emerges isn't a pretty picture. Dirt, dust and mites grind down deep into the fibers, where it can't be easily removed. Professional carpet cleaning is expensive and must be done regularly.

Dampness can lead to mould problems. Allergies can be aggravated by what lives in your carpets.

Pet owners know the issues all too well: stain and odor removal from carpeting is a nuisance; dander and fur seem drawn to it like a magnet. And those are just the contaminants you can see. Imagine how many more invisible ones are lurking in there!

The Trend Towards Hardwood Flooring

Families, especially those with children, are becoming more aware of the importance of preventing allergies and health problems in the home. That's why so many home owners are taking up their carpets and either refinishing the hardwood floors underneath them or installing new ones.

Hardwood floors not only give you a cleaner, healthier living space, they can also increase the value of your home and reduce the amount of time you spend cleaning.

And there's one more good reason to take hardwood seriously...

Refinishing Equals Recycling

Consider this: when most flooring products such as carpet, vinyl, and tiles wear out, the only option is to pull them up and throw them away. On the other hand, hardwood flooring can be refinished numerous times, making it a sustainable choice.

Plus, hardwood floors last for decades... far longer than most other floor coverings.

So when you add up the benefits to your health, the environment and simple esthetics, restoring your hardwood floors is a smart move all around.
