The investment of hardwood, laminate, or vinyl floors will add intrinsic beauty, modernization, and value to your home. However, there are other reasons which make these floors a practical and decorative preference.

 

• Healthy Indoor Air Quality
  Hardwood, laminate, and vinyl floors are very easy to clean as they do not accumulate a lot of dirt, dust, or debris. They are a healthier choice for interior environments as they have no fibers, grout lines, or embossing that can trap dust, pollen, particles, animal dander and allergens that occur with carpets. This also makes them the best choice for allergy sufferers, as they improve air quality.

​​

• Ageless Beauty
  Hardwood, laminate, and vinyl floors give an elegant aesthetic and high-end look, while offering warmth and beauty - which never go out of style. Hardwood floors are also said to enable a look of spaciousness wherever they are installed.

​​

• Durability
  Hardwood floors are tough, hard-wearing, and have long-term durability. They can stand up to active workspaces and heavy foot traffic. When other floors will begin to look tired and worn, your hardwood floors will still look beautiful, and become more valuable as time goes by. Unlike carpeting, hardwood floors can be refinished rather than replaced when the finish has worn out.  

 

FLOOR MAINTENANCE
When properly maintained, your floors will continue to add splendour to your home for decades to come. Below are some suggestions for proper maintenance for your hardwood floors:

 

• Maintain temperatures between 15-24 degrees Celsius, and humidity levels between 35-55% within your home.

• Low humidity can cause shrinkage and show separation between boards, while high humidity can cause expansion and cupping.

• Regularly dry dust by using a microfiber dusting pad.

• Vacuum weekly using a soft-bristle head attachment and then mop with light strokes.

• Avoid string mops as they add excessive amounts of water on the floor.

• Avoid vinegar and soap-based cleaners. Opt for plain water or gentle cleaners which are safe for the floors, family, and air environment.

• Use floor protectors under furniture.

• Use soft rugs and mats in high-traffic areas.

• Avoid walking in high heels.

• Wipe up spills immediately.
