A single type of flooring isn’t right for every person or every application. Some people enjoy stepping on soft carpeting, while others like the unique design options of laminate. However, hardwood floors could be right for you if you want a traditional or rustic home design. Wood flooring is superior for people with allergies, and it can be easier to keep clean than carpet. Also, unlike laminate, you can refinish hardwood to help it last many lifetimes.
