Wooden flooring looks beautiful and is a real asset to a home. However, it also comes with a number of difficulties that you will need to overcome if you are going to successfully install wooden floorboards. It is a decision that you should think very carefully about.
Wooden flooring tends to be more expensive, so you will need to have the correct funds. It is a very premium home improvement product that you should expect to pay a decent amount for. If wood is too cheap, this could begin ringing alarm bells. It also needs to be fitted correctly, as it can expand and contract.
The main benefit is that wood is highly durable and will last you many years. If you cannot afford wood now, why not consider a laminate instead? This will not cost as much, and many laminated are incredibly high quality, making it difficult to spot real wood anyway.
