Benefits of Choosing Timber Floor

1.Eco friendly (The best Green choice)

Natural timber flooring improves environmental sustainability because of its eco-friendly nature. Hardwood floors improve air quality and reduce greenhouse effects. Many argue timber flooring, of all the flooring types, isn’t the best for the environment. Still, there is no need to argue such because, unlike chemically laced carpets, timber floors are sourced from sustainable forests. Moreover, considering the factors included in the life cycle analysis, such as energy consumption, air emission, and water usage, timber floor is the best in this analysis among all the flooring options, including ceramic tiles. Timber stores carbon for its entire life cycle, removing it from the atmosphere and making the environment healthier for humans and other animals. And if finally disposed of, timber floors naturally decompose and act as a natural insulator in your home, reducing your energy cost. Choosing timber flooring for your home is the best decision you could ever make because of its low cost of production and improved installation techniques.

2.Durability

Hardwood timber floors, due to their strength, exceptionally last long. Hardwood and engineered timber flooring are far more stable than woven-fiber carpets. Although carpet provides a luxuriously soft and warm feeling underfoot, it doesn’t last long. It lasts for only a few years. Its fibers get weakened, and the padding decomposes, causing you to replace it within a decade. Even when exposed to high foot traffic, children and pets, timber floors can last up to 50 years if properly installed. One of the reasons why timber floor last long is because it is naturally great for bearing loads.

3. Easy Maintenance

Compared to many other forms of flooring, timber floors are easier to keep clean and maintain. Use a basic damp mop once a month and a dry mop once a week to clean wood floors. You do not need to mop with hot or wet water, which could harm the surfacing of timber. When utilizing timber flooring, you can immediately identify any places that need extra attention because dirt and dust particles cannot become trapped within the material. This makes it a fantastic option for people with allergies or those living in households with kids or pets.



Solid timber flooring is easily repairable even when your floors have experienced some wear and tear, such as scratches, spills, and drops. Your floors can be repaired and restored to seem brand new by simply sanding away any blemishes. When your timber reaches the end of its useful life, it can be repaired and reused. Timber floors only require a fast sweep or antistatic mop to remove the majority of the debris, and a quick sweep with a damp mop. 

4. Increased Home Value

With hardwood flooring, there is a noticeable rise in the value of your home. Carpet has a shorter lifespan than wood, which raises costs, but wood can be preserved for 100 years. While faded carpet needs to be pulled up and replaced, worn wood can be restored to a dazzling luster. Only in locations with constant wetness is wood not advised as a flooring material. However, each timber floorboard is distinct because they are natural, so every floor will always be different. This is a unique feature of timber floors that other floor types cannot claim. In addition, timber serves as an investment for homeowners preparing to sell or rent their homes. Timber floors' practicality, aesthetics, and appeal might help them sell for more money and ensure they stay on the market for less long.

5. Improved Wellbeing

Utilizing natural materials like timber in your home is said to provide health benefits because it improves air quality and can reduce humidity levels. Wood can help people feel better by improving their mood and reducing stress. A timber floor enhances air quality because it doesn’t gather dust particles, allergens, and pet hair the way carpet does due to the absence of grout lines and fibers. 

6. Versatility

Timber flooring can be used to create a variety of moods. There are options to fit your home, whether you want something subtle and quiet or vibrant and full of character. You can choose a traditional aesthetic or a more modern appearance. Timber flooring comes in a number of wood types, giving you a vast selection of colors and tones to choose from. Choosing a timber floor will only enhance your home's design, no matter what type it may have. There will be a timber to suit your style.

7. Improved Insulation

Due to the air pockets included in the timber flooring structure, it works as a natural heat insulator for the house. It keeps the floor cool while insulating against heat and won't become as chilly in the winter as denser materials do. Because high-quality timber floors regulate external temperatures, you can always feel at ease going barefoot on the floor.
