A well known-phrase is that an Englishman’s home is his castle, so it is understandable that for his home he’ll want only the best – and nothing can be as good as well cared for and expertly decorated home, in which all are welcome. Unfortunately after a few years, even the most cared for room that was immaculately decorated can start to lose its appeal. One element of the decoration which can help a room remain appealing, warm and breathtaking for years to come is well installed oak flooring Reading provided by an experienced carpenter.
Wooden floors, and in particular oak flooring, have became a popular acquisition within all properties over recent years, and those homeowners who have invested in wooden flooring will be reaping various benefits that the flooring offers – examples of which can be found below.
Value for Money:
There’s no hiding the fact that a well installed quality wooden floor, especially oak flooring, can be an expensive acquisition in the short term. However, in the long term, so long as your flooring is laid by professionals who’ll make sure it’s perfectly constructed without any gaps or cracks; it can be a great investment for your home.
By having wooden flooring which is well laid and well maintained, you will see the value of your property increase, compared to a property of an identical build, but with carpet flooring. The reason that wooden flooring has proven extremely popular amongst homeowners is because it promises to brighten up and add warmth to any room.
Maintenance:
Whilst a carpet will require a clean a few times a week with a vacuum just to get rid of the dust that’s built up, and a more thorough clean to rid of stains at the weekends, wooden floors don’t need this kind of intensive care.
Instead the cleaning and maintenance of a wooden floor is quick and simple. To remove the dust that may have built up around the edge of wooden floor, using a thin bristled brush give it a good sweep or with a fine bristled vacuum give it a once over. If you want to remove any wet footprints or drink spills, use a slightly damp cloth and wipe over the affected areas; in no time at all it’ll be sparkling like new.
Design:
As with carpets, oak flooring is available in a variety of colours and finishes, meaning that you’ll be able to find the perfect flooring to fit in with your current decor and furniture.
With the designs of oak flooring Reading that are available you can be certain that even in five years time when you opt to change the wallpaper, furniture and fittings in a room, you can be certain that the flooring will still bring everything together, offering the perfect room for you and your family.
