Wood flooring is worthy investment

According to the property investment advice website Millionacres, installing solid wood flooring in homes is a sound investment.

The price per square foot of solid wood flooring is more expensive than many alternatives. Compared to floor coverings like laminate and carpet, wood flooring takes longer to install, making installation costs higher. Many people considering wood flooring may ask themselves the question: is it worth the extra cost?

However, Millionacres say that wood flooring has great value for property investors because of the extra value it adds to a home. In USA market, wood floors can add up to 2.5% to the value of a home, but here in the UK, and in specifically in North Wales, the added property value could be higher, depending on the type and size of the house.

Many people choose wood flooring because of its attractive appearance in both its natural shade and when stained darker to fit with a room’s decor. Another reason why wood flooring is value for money is that it lasts – cheaper floor coverings need replacing more often, but if wood floors look worn, they can be revived by sanding and refinishing. Wood flooring is also easy to maintain by using a brush to sweep debris and a wood floor cleaner to keep it looking like new.

People may have wood flooring installed in their North Wales home because of its beautiful natural look, but it is also good to know that in the long term, wood floors are also great value for money.
