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 build up on the surface of the hardwood, or from the subfloor, can result in warping and cracking over time.

Preventing the exposure of the flooring to water damage is the primary problem in hardwood maintenance. Prompt clean up of spills and regular cleaning is a crucial requirement of upkeep with hardwood. When spills begin to bead up on hardwood floors, it usually means that the finish has worn through and must be replaced. Be sure to do this promptly, because the water damage can rapidly affect the rest of the hardwood. 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 wonderful option when potential water damage and a tough climate make hardwood less viable. 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 will provide years of great looking finish. Even better, laminate flooring can provide a very realistic hardwood imitation that is hard to detect. This is great when the elegance of a hardwood is desired, but the maintenance issues involved are not as desirable. Luckily, Bruce Flooring provides a great selection of both types of flooring.
