Allergen producing dust mites, flees and dust trapped in a carpet can play havoc with allergy sufferers – with wood nothing is hidden

Wood flooring is easier to keep clean than carpeting – a simple brush or light vacuum keeps your wood floor looking great and even mud dragged in by pets and kids vanishes with a damp mop

With wood flooring there are no unpleasant odours – the sweet smell of a polished wooden floor is always an inviting delight

Wood flooring is also available to all budgets and tends to appeal more when selling a house, compared to those with other floor finishes

Wood’s appeal is timeless – a well-fitted, good quality, wood floor should last for decades where carpeting will almost certainly need replacing sooner
