Wooden floors have excellent durability – this is a key feature of wooden flooring. The strength and resilience of wooden floors means that you won’t have to worry about replacing it for a long time.

Wooden floors are timeless – wooden floors will never go out of style. The trends for carpets and their patterns, however, can become outdated as interior design trends change.

Wooden floors are good for allergy sufferers – there is no space for dust mites and other allergens to be stored in wooden floors, whereas they can be harboured in the carpet’s fibres, which can be irritating to people with certain allergies.

Wooden floors add value – while they may be more expensive, wooden floors can increase the value of your home.

Easy to maintain – with most wooden floors, spillages and mess is very easy to clean up, as the wood does not absorb anything. A simple combination of cleaning spray and a cloth can remove most mess.
