Of the many sought-after attributes of
hardwood flooring, few are as valued as the average 100-year lifespan it has to offer. You'll enjoy the stunning visuals, the outstanding performance, and the durability that helps it reach its full lifespan potential. If you're looking for a floor covering that could be the last one you ever purchase, you're in the right place.
If it's durability you're looking for, you're sure to find it in this product line. One of the determining factors in your flooring's lifespan is the species, which ranges from hard to soft. Of course, the harder the species, the more durable the flooring will be, especially with the right sealant and finish type.
Some finishes, while beautifully perfect for your décor, also work to protect your floors as well. Hand-scraped or distressed finishes help hide scratches, scuffs, and water spots for a floor covering that look like new longer. Even in heavily traveled spaces, you'll find they last longer when you make the right option choices.
Solid hardwood will eventually show signs of wear, however, and when that happens, you can always schedule a refinishing. This process removes decades of wear and allows you to start all over with a fresh new layer of wood. Reapply the same sealant, stain color, finish, or switch it up for something brand new to stay current with a completely different look.
When it's time to install your wood floors, you'll find that the first step is acclimation. This process can take from one to several days, depending on your home's weather and humidity level. After that, your installation team will work to give you the best looking and best functioning floor possible.
