The lifetime expectancy of hardwood flooring

One of the many reasons homeowners choose wood flooring is its extensive lifespan. You may never have to replace these floors once they're in place, which means you save money over time.

Hardwood flooring has plenty of benefits, and we'll tell you about them. But we'll start with some information about the lifespan of these products for your consideration.

Hardwood flooring is a natural product

Since hardwood is a natural product, it's no wonder it lasts so long and performs well over time. Of course, these floors need extra consideration for the best wood flooring performance, but it’s worth it to gain up to 100 years of life.

Some species are harder than others, which means these options will serve you best in heavy traffic. On the other hand, less hardness is perfect for pantries, closets, and rooms with little traffic.

The importance of acclimation

Before installation even starts, hardwood flooring must go through the acclimation process. This process evens out the level of humidity between the flooring and the area where we'll install it.

Depending on your home's weather and humidity levels, the acclimation process can take one to three days for wood floors in Norman, OK. Once acclimation is complete, we can move forward with installation normally, and they will likely serve you as long as your floors are in your home.
