Wood Floors: Enhancing Property Value

Real wood floors have been used in properties for centuries and there are many reasons why. A big reason is that fitting a solid wood or engineered wood floor adds value to a property.

Whether it’s a home, business premises or public building. A wood floor can be an excellent choice for the immediate and the long run.

Yes the initial outlay can be more expensive than other flooring options, but not as much as you may think, plus they are a fantastic investment.

Firstly a wood floor has a massive appeal aesthetically, with its naturally beauty and character. Once a wood floor has been installed into a property the feel of a property changes. There’s a feeling of warmth, it makes the building feel solid and safe, it basically makes you want to spend more time there. It adds extra character to a property.

Getting back to the value it adds to the property financially - Wood floors if cared for correctly, can last for decades even hundreds of years. So less need to replace! You can change the finish and colour of a wood floor if it starts looking a bit tired, fashion changes or you just feel like a change. By sanding a small amount of the top layer off and adding a stain or just a different oil or lacquer can be transformative. It’s amazing how you can make a wood floor look like it’s just been installed, even if it’s many decades old!

So all this said, it’s not surprising that homes featuring wood flooring typically fetch higher prices and are deemed more appealing to homebuyers.
