Real wood flooring provides homeowners with both enduring worth and classic sophistication for their homes. Real wood flooring stands as an unrivalled choice for beauty and durability because it creates charm that synthetic alternatives cannot duplicate. Our team at Direct Flooring & Carpets guides Ramsbottom and Norden residents to discover their ideal solutions that fit their personal style and financial resources.
🌳 What is Real Wood Flooring?
Real wood flooring includes solid and engineered options. Solid wood flooring derives from one piece of timber but engineered uses hardwood on top of a stable base for improved moisture resistance and installation flexibility.
Popular Types:
Oak flooring: Classic, hardwearing, and full of character
Engineered wood: Great for underfloor heating and varied climates
Ted Todd: Sustainably sourced, premium quality with unique finishes
🪵 Why Choose Real Wood Over Laminate?
Real timber provides warmth together with depth and natural texture which exceeds what laminate flooring can achieve through its wood-like appearance.
Benefits of Real Wood vs Laminate:
Real wood lasts for many decades before requiring sanding and refinishing.
The floor provides natural warmth and texture when you step on it.
The FSC-certified wood products from Ted Todd represent an environmentally friendly choice.
