Reasons To Choose Wooden Flooring Instead Carpet
Here are a few reasons why wooden flooring is a better product than carpet for covering the floors in your home.
If you are looking for a new flooring cover for a room in your home to freshen it up or due to decorating then there are a lot of benefits to purchasing laminate or wooden flooring and the benefits may outweigh those of more traditional floor coverings such as carpet. Here's just a few benefits for you to consider.
Cost is one of the main reasons, or lack of cost to be more precise. It comes in so many sizes, styles and materials that you can even lay a new floor in your home for well under a hundred pounds. Thick pure wood will obviously be the most expensive and will look fantastic but depending on your budget there is a range of alternatives right down to laminate flooring which is the most inexpensive and is available in a massive range of colours and styles to suit any surroundings. How the panels lock together such as 'v groove' interlocking also has an effect on the price. There are several ways to fit panels together from interlocking down to simply gluing and all have an effect on the price.
Being easy to fit is another area where there are a lot of benefits. With a small amount of do-it-yourself knowledge you can fit wooden flooring that will look great, last for years and give you a huge sense of pride that it was all your own work. Carpet-fitting is a specialist job and setting it right might mean the employment of an expert whereas wooden flooring installations can be attempted by almost anyone and mistakes are relatively cheap as you can just use another panel to rectify them.
Being easy to wipe clean is another area where wooden flooring beats carpet hands-down. Spillages can be simply wiped clean and the occasion mop with a wooden flooring solution will keep the surface and joints in tip-top condition. Perfect for if you have young children or host a lot of parties. Another lesser considered but important area where wooden flooring outperforms carpet is in the retention of dust. Carpet can house a lot of dust and dirt particles that can trigger allergies whereas this isn't a problem with wooden flooring.
