Why a real wood floor makes a difference to the look and feel of a home is difficult to quantify, but what we do know is that it undoubtedly does.
There’s something timeless about a hardwood floor. As soon as you step into a hallway or room you know straight away that its hardwood - it’s that instinctive. While some fans of hardwood flooring will argue that a house ‘sounds’ better with a hardwood floor.
A hardwood floor looks good, and arguably gets better with age. It feels good under foot, too. And a hardwood floor can be a deal clincher when selling your home. The fact that they are easy to maintain and clean is just a very pleasing, added bonus.
Stories Flooring boasts a comprehensive range of hardwood flooring and all at competitive prices. From ash to walnut and in a variety of colours, if you are planning to lay a hardwood floor in your home, then Stories Flooring should be your first port of call.
Manufactured from a singular piece of 100 per cent natural wood that is cut down to the desired size, usually ranging between 18 to 25 centimetres, these floors are solid and extremely durable.
“We have large selection of high quality, long-lasting 100 per cent natural real wood flooring at considerably cheap prices,” said Will Woolley of Stories Flooring.
“Not only do they add warmth and elegance to your room, but they are also considerably easy to maintain.
“Our wooden floors come in solid walnut, oak, and maple. These floors have been around for over a century and are available in a myriad of different designs. We also stock flooring in ash, beech, hickory and merbeau.”
FOUR TO THE FLOOR
Stories Flooring Will Woolley outlines four reasons for choosing a hardwood floor.
Thermal insulation - wood is a natural insulation material, protecting your house against the excessive cold or the warmth during the summers. So, it's perfect for both summer and winter. You will notice a considerable decrease in your monthly utility bills because the wood floors prevent air from escaping through the house.
Comfort - walking barefoot on a wooden floor is not the same as walking on a tiled floor. It brings much more warmth and will give your home that much-desired "homely” feel that you so crave.
Hygiene - another great advantage is that a wooden floor doesn’t accumulate dust mites, nor any other potentially allergenic element. Keeping the floors clean is also incredibly easy.
Durability - Solid wood is one of the most durable types of floors available. A well-kept wood floor can last for many years. Depending on the thickness of the wooden floor, you also have the option of getting it sanded and re-varnished or stained, thus making it look as good as new.
“Maintaining solid wood flooring isn’t a problem either,” said Will, “it’s a relatively simple process. You just need to use a standard cleaning agent or a multi-surface cleaner in order to clean the floors regularly.
“It doesn’t require a great deal of effort, and the most you have to do is to wipe it clean. If you want to further improve the resilience of your hardwood floors, you can just apply a sealant on top to provide greater protection against stains.
“There are a number of different finishes, from brushed and lacquered, just lacquered, oiled or unfinished, while the shades available range from light right through to black, at the other end of the spectrum.”
Will added: “At Stories Flooring, we stock the best hardwood flooring brands, such as Atkinson & Kirby, Basix, Hadlow, Junckers, Linton and Westco.”
