Hardwood flooring is a great addition to any home, and adds greatly to the overall value of the residence. Hardwood flooring can last for generations if properly cared for over the ensuing years. The primary concern in hardwood maintenance is the problem of water damage. Moisture that wicks up from the subfloor can rot out a hardwood floor.

Preventing the exposure of the hardwood to moisture is the chief concern in maintenance. Prompt clean up of spills and regular cleaning is an important part of keeping a hardwood floor intact. When spills begin to bead up on hardwood floors, this can be a sign that the finish of the floor needs to be replaced. Be sure to do this soon, because the water damage can spread very quickly after the finish has worn away. Cupping and crowning that results from water damage is difficult to reverse, and requires time consuming sanding and planing. Areas that see drastic changes in temperature can also put a strain on hardwood flooring.

Laminate flooring is a great alternative to hardwood when the conditions are rough. Made to resist water damage, laminate flooring maintains its appearance without too much work. Pressure sealed against moisture from both the top and the subfloor, laminate flooring looks great for years. Even better, laminate flooring can provide a very realistic hardwood imitation that is hard to detect. This is wonderful when the elegance of a hardwood is desired, but the upkeep problems involved are not as desirable. Luckily, Bruce Flooring provides a wide range of both hardwood and laminate flooring.
