Advantages of Hardwood Flooring
Hardwood Flooring is Non-Allergenic
One of the top benefits of hardwood flooring is that it is non-allergenic, which by the way, is very important when it comes to a bedroom, as you don’t want to be exposed to allergens while sleeping. They can affect your health by producing different grades of respiratory distress. Contrary to carpeting which is a well-known source of allergens, such as dust or animal dander, among others, hardwood flooring is known as the most hypoallergenic bedroom flooring available. It is even less allergenic than laminate or tile since debris and dirt are known for getting trapped in the grouts.

Bedroom Flooring with a Lifespan
Another advantage of hardwood flooring is its durability. It may last a lifetime. It requires proper maintenance as it deteriorates progressively over time. At some point, and based on how much traffic your bedroom receives, it will require refinishing, but it will not wear out. Also, when compared to other options, laminate only lasts a few decades, and most carpet flooring needs to be replaced after eight to ten years from installation. Sometimes hardwood flooring requires repair. Our company, Peterson Flooring can take care of any necessary repairs. Its hardwood floor repair specialists can help you with these repairs and restore your flooring to their original state.
Easy to Clean Bedroom Flooring
If cleaning is a burden you would like to get rid of, then hardwood flooring might be the best option for you. Hardwood flooring requires not much of a cleaning other than occasional sweeping. Messes are easy to clean up, and a wipe of a rag or dry mop is all it takes to remove almost any substance from your bedroom flooring. This is not true in the case of other types of flooring materials.
Disadvantages of Hardwood for Bedroom Flooring
More Expensive Than Carpeting
Hardwood flooring is more expensive than carpet, but it has a significantly longer lifespan in comparison to carpeting, and can, at least partially, compensate for this difference in the price. Your carpeting can last for a decade while your hardwood flooring will probably outlive you. This makes the difference in the pricing far more reasonable. Our hardwood flooring contractors specialists can provide you with an estimate and advice on the selection of your flooring.
Noisy and Cooler to the Touch
Carpeting absorbs sounds while hardwood flooring will let you hear every single thing that hits the floor, including the footsteps of your pets. It will also be much cooler to the touch. However, you may place a rug bedside on each side of the bed which can quickly sort both of these problems.
Susceptible to Scratches
Finally, hardwood flooring is susceptible to scratching but, unlike carpeting, hardly ever stains. so practically the risk of damage is really low. Nevertheless, the possibility of your hardwood flooring getting damaged cannot be ignored.
