Wood is a natural product, is aesthetically pleasing, flexible in design, and structurally sound.
Its exotic features are unmatched by any other floor covering. Wood is an insulator, has excellent acoustics, is appraisable, and increases the resale value of your home. My family has members who have problems with allergies. I have seen the precautionary labels on carpet advising the buyer that the carpet may increase such problems. Wood flooring is hypoallergenic and will not contribute to an increased allergic response.
