Why Choose Solid Oak Flooring?
12th Aug 2020
Choosing new flooring for your home is no easy decision, it’s perhaps the most important finish to a room, and a feature that needs to be durable, attractive, and fit the aesthetic of your home. Solid oak flooring is an excellent choice compared to other alternatives. Here’s a rundown of its key features and advantages.
Solid oak flooring is exceptionally durable, and it’s right there in the name. Oak is a hardwood and is hard-wearing, even under the everyday uses of a floor. It stands the test of time, and the fact that it has been used for hundreds of years in homes is a testament to that fact. You only need to look at aged oak floors that have retained their appearance and durability over hundreds of years.
Oak flooring has long been a sign of opulence in style in homes. If you’re looking to create a traditional aesthetic, then there is no better choice than a solid oak floor. One thing that oak flooring does lack is the ability to choose different styles (such as a linoleum floor), but that is more than made up by the intricacy and beauty of the grain in the oak. Different grades of oak offer different appearances, such as rustic grades offering a lot of knots and patterns. Due to the ongoing popularity of oak flooring, there are actually various styles. Different colours, styles, stains, and varieties of oak compose a sizable catalogue of choices when it comes to picking an oak floor for your home.
Oak flooring is designed to last a lifetime, and then some. It is resistant to scratches, dents, and other scuffs, and provides a surface that is easy to wipe down and clean. Oak flooring is also very resistant to insect damage and fungal attacks. This will save your money in terms of repair or replacement costs in the future. Solid oak hardwood floor should theoretically never need to be replaced if the original purchase is sound and professionally fitted. If the wood does need a replenishment, the floor can be refinished rather than entirely replaced.
Solid oak floors provide a smooth surface where dust and pollen cannot collect. There are no grout lines or individual fibres that can trap dust, as you might get with carpeted floors or other types of flooring. Solid oak floors provide a healthy space, ideal for those who might suffer from allergies.
Having a solid oak floor installed in your home isn’t a lengthy process. It won’t take several days. Because the oak is milled to fit the measurements of the room, there aren’t many requirements to cut new pieces on site. Everything fits together like a snug puzzle, creating a smooth and uniform finish that is ready to walk on almost immediately.
