There are benefits to using wood floors in your project, here we look at 6 reasons why you should choose a wood floor.
1.100% NATURAL WOODEN FLOORS
The wood used in every Ted Todd floor comes from sustainable sources that have FSC®, PEFC or equivalent certification. As a wood floor comes from nature you will never find any plastics, synthetic materials or man-made chemicals.
Organic flooring also has the capability of lasting decades. Compared to carpet or vinyl flooring this is, on average, double the lifespan. In fact, many wood floors look better as they get older. They’re also easy to clean and maintain, allowing you to have an earthy, homely natural floor for years to come.
2. UNIQUE WOODEN PLANKS AND BOARDS
With a range of grades to choose from you can achieve the look you want from boards that feature a range of characteristics to ones with a clean, uniform look. Other types of flooring options such as laminate is made by applying an image of wood grain to a sheet of plastic. This means the same grain pattern could be replicated multiple times across your floor whilst losing the natural movement only a real wood gives.
Perfect for bringing nature indoors, the imperfections of much wood flooring is authentic and homely. If you’re looking to create a truly cosy feel.
