Real Wood Flooring is For Life, Not Just for Christmas

Posted on: 16th November 2016

As winter starts to draw in, we all start thinking about how to make our homes cosy (and looking their best for when our relatives arrive for Christmas)! We think that real wood flooring makes the perfect backdrop this season – but when it comes to giving your home a makeover, you can’t go wrong with real wood flooring, whatever time of the year it is. We take a look at what makes it such a great material.

It’s Beautiful

Nothing quite matches the beauty of real wood flooring. With a rich natural lustre, it can lend any room a sense of elegance and authenticity – and as it’s so durable, it will look great for many years to come. Available in a wide range of colours and finishes, you can create a look you love. Chunky slabs of dark wood can set a moody scene for winter, or you can go with something lighter for a more Scandinavian-inspired theme.

It’s Environmentally Friendly

It might surprise you, but real wood flooring is a very environmentally-friendly choice. The production, processing and disposal of timber consumes far less energy than any other construction material – and forests are replanted after each harvest. Strict laws are in place to protect our forests. Our supplier Junckers is a CO2-neutral company, and Boen is certified by a number of environmental organisations including the FSC and the Rainforest Alliance.

It’s a Smart Investment

Real wood flooring is an investment – but it’s an investment worth making. Designed to last, a real wood floor will stand you in good stead, even if you later decide to sell your house. In a recent survey from SellingUp.com and Populus, 64% of people said that real wood flooring would make a property more desirable to them as a buyer. Even TV property expert Phil Spencer recommends it; in a Telegraph interview he said its longevity and practicality makes it especially good for families, but “wooden flooring is one of those features that appeals to just about everyone when it comes time to sell”.
