Looking to start this new year off right? Why not consider finally installing those brand new hardwood floors? If you have been considering hardwood flooring installation, but just aren’t totally convinced that you should spend the money on it, then we have a few reasons why you should.

1- Increases your home value: Times are tough, there’s no doubt about that, but what if you could increase the value of your home just from installing hardwood flooring in the living room? Studies have shown that homes with wood flooring tend to sell faster and for more money than those homes without them, so not only will new hardwood flooring look great, it will give your home more value in the long run.

2- Hardwood flooring is long lasting: Hardwood flooring installation is worth it for many reasons, but the fact that it lasts as long as it does makes it all the more worth it for most homeowners. Hardwood flooring has the potential to last for hundreds of years and typically doesn’t need to be replaced as often as other flooring options.

3- Hardwood flooring improves air quality: Consider hardwood flooring as your flooring option if you are concerned about your home’s indoor air quality. Indoor air quality tends to be much better than homes that have laminate, tile, carpeting or other types of flooring choices. Hardwood floors do not hold on to dust, pet dander or mold unlike other flooring options.

4- Hardwood flooring actually saves natural resources: If you’re interested in preserving natural resources, consider hardwood flooring for your home. Believe it or not, but hardwood flooring actually saves natural resources. When it comes to production, hardwood flooring uses less water and energy than other flooring choices. Wood substitutes require more energy to produce than wood.

5- Hardwood flooring is an abundant, renewable material: Unlike other flooring options, hardwood flooring, well wood in general, is one of the most abundant, renewable flooring materials available. Trees are a renewable resource. Sustainable forest management makes it possible to harvest wood over and over again without harming the environment.
