Hardwood Flooring’s Long-Term Economic Advantages vs. Carpet:

Hardwood Flooring’s Daily Living Advantages vs Carpet:
- Better Acoustics – Wood flooring types help reduce muffled or vibrating sounds – giving you crystal-clear sound quality at home for a state-of-the-art home theater system.
- Little to No Cleaning Equipment Needed – With hardwood floors, there’s no need to buy vacuum cleaners every few years or a bucketful of cleaning supplies to keep it clean. All that’s needed is a damp microfiber mop to dust and mop every few days or so.
Hardwood Flooring’s Long-Term Maintenance Advantage vs. Carpet:
- Hardwearing – There aren’t many floor types that can match the lifespan of hardwood flooring. These floor coverings can last a lifetime with some maintenance and if they do scratch or wear, a wood floor refinishing treatment provides an economical way to restore its original beauty.
