Why You’ll Love Wood Flooring

Foley residents love the organic, natural appearance of wood flooring. Wood floors offer an excellent return on investment, increase property values, and provide long-lasting durability. Both hardwood and engineered wood offer several benefits, including:

• Longevity: Hardwood floors can last for several decades with regular cleaning and refinishing. Engineered wood floors will last two decades or more with regular maintenance!
• Demand: Wood flooring is always coveted by prospective buyers and offers the best return on investment of any flooring.
• Hypoallergenic: Wood flooring has a relatively low volatile organic compound (VOC) content compared to most flooring products and won’t trap dust, pollen, or other airborne irritants.

Plus, with so many colors, finishes, and styles to choose from, you’re almost guaranteed to find the perfect solid wood or engineered flooring product to complement your home’s interior design. Count on your expert Design Associate to help you choose the right wood flooring to align with your taste, space, and budget!

Hardwood vs. Engineered Wood Flooring

For all its charm, solid wood flooring is susceptible to water damage, especially if exposed to high indoor humidity. That’s why engineered wood flooring is a favorite in Foley; if you’re unfamiliar with the differences between solid wood and engineered wood floors, here’s what to know.

Solid wood flooring, also known as hardwood or real wood, is made from a single piece of lumber and finished into a single plank. Usually made from oak, hickory, or maple, these woods come in dozens of varieties with varying colors, hardness, and other distinguishing characteristics.

• Hardwood floors are more valuable and tend to last longer than engineered wood floors because they can be refinished several times, in most cases. Conversely, real wood floors are more prone to water damage and may cup, expand, or contract if exposed to elevated humidity, leaks, or spills.
• Engineered wood flooring is made from multiple layers of plywood planks bonded and pressed together, then topped with a real wood veneer on its surface. The manufacturing process makes engineered wood more resistant to water damage, though it isn’t as water-resistant as most laminate or vinyl alternatives. Due to their relatively thin veneer, engineered wood floors can be refinished only once or twice (if at all), limiting their longevity compared to solid wood floors.

Wood Floor Refinishing in Seminole County

Protect your hardwood flooring for generations to come with regular refinishing. Depending on the type of wood, traffic levels, and other factors, most wood floors should be sanded and refinished every 7 to 10 years. The presence of pets, kids, and water exposure may shorten your floors' lifespan to 5 years in some cases.

If you notice deep scratches, discoloration (often termed “graying”), or early signs of gaps and cupping, schedule a free consultation to see if refinishing is the right approach.
