• Hardwood floor with a top quality finish. Hardwood floors with a high-quality finish last longer because the finish will go well with the wood instead of cracking when it has a substantial item on. Unlike Aluminum Oxide finishes there won’t be any traced if the floors are scratched.
• Hardwood floor with a character grade and style. Thanks to its variety of colour, wood flooring with a character grade and style usually look better than a classic uniform selection.
• Hardwood floor with a low sheen. Recently it’s well known; a little-added polish will improve the look of the wood and also hide scratches. It is advisable to use low gloss on hardwood floors in homes where kids and pets are present.

Beauty is one of the primary reasons buyers pick hardwood floor for all aspects of their home. There are two exciting choices to note for this situation:

• Huge and Long. Floorboards made from hardwood that are lengthy and large make the room beautiful and bring the open living space together. They make rooms in the house bigger because fewer boards are used to cover up the house ask us for the recommendation.
• Patterns. For people who love the decoration, there are patterns to choose from like herringbone hardwood used for your dining room or kitchen with longboards everywhere else. This gives your space a lovely look, utilising a similar kind of hardwood floor.

5. WATER

Many people don’t go for a hardwood floor in their kitchens because of its exposure to water. Most buyers are concerned that, during cooking and cleaning, there might be water droplets that could damage the hardwood.
Cracks in hardwood floor finishes, like Aluminum Oxide, might allow water into the wood and cause unsightly stains. However, as we saw in point Two above regarding wear and tear, there is a meagre chance of this happening if you make use of a hardwood floor with a top quality soft finish just like we offer.

We advise you to place a small mat under your sink and the dishwasher to stop droplets from landing on the hardwood.
