Hardwood Floors for Added Value and a Healthy
Home
Wood flooring is timeless. It enhances the warmth
of any home and complements the decor of any room. Like a fine piece of furniture, wood flooring increases in value and becomes
more beautiful with time. In a national survey, 90 percent of real estate agents said that houses with wood flooring sell
faster and for more money.
The state-of-the-art technology
and almost limitless choices of today's stains, finishes, styles and designs make wood flooring one of the most practical,
easy-care and versatile floor coverings today. Maintained properly, wood flooring should never have to be replaced.
In addition to their distinctive
beauty and lasting value, doctors often recommend hardwood floors because they trap less animal dander, dust, pollen, mites
and mold -- all of which can trigger respiratory problems. An estimated 60 million Americans suffer from allergies. Even in
tiny amounts, house dust can set off symptoms. The most serious offenders are dust mites -- microscopic monsters that colonize
bedding, curtains and carpets. Even frequent vacuuming won't eliminate dust mites. Natural hardwood floors make it easier
for you to reduce home allergens, while your rooms remain warm and inviting.
