Wooden flooring has been around for a very long time but is still growing in popularity in recent times. More and more people are turning to wooden flooring as an alternative to traditional carpet or tiles and there are a lot of reasons why.
The first reason is the cheapness of wooden flooring. No matter what your budget may be you should be able to find products in your price range. Pure wooden flooring to match the traditional decor of an older home can be very expensive but prices start from a few quid per square metre for cheaper alternatives that may look as good such as laminate flooring. Laminate flooring is made to look like wooden flooring but is made from cheaper materials, as it is man made it also comes in a wide range of colours and sizes so you can be guaranteed to find something to match the style of your room whether it be a living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom or hallway.
The second reason wooden flooring is such a good choice is because it is easy to fit. A little bit of DIY knowledge, a bit of hard work and some patience can reap fantastic rewards. Carpets or tiles may need the help of an expert to be installed but wooden flooring can be attempted by most home owners with good results. Mistakes are easy to rectify as the pieces used are so inexpensive and buy purchasing a few extra panels when choosing your wooden flooring, if you make a mistake you can just insert another panel.
A third reason why laminate or wooden flooring is so popular is because it is hard wearing and very easy to clean. Spillages can be wiped away much easier than on carpet and if you have a major accident which results in floor damage then the damaged panels can be replaced whereas this would normally result in an entire carpet replacement and this of the cost and inconvenience that could cause.
