Floors for Entertaining – Part 3

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving so we figured we would wrap up our 3 part series on great floors for entertaining. In the past couple weeks we have given you two great flooring options: Alterna Tile and Karndean PVC. Armstrong’s luxury vinyl tile, Alterna, is very similar to tile and stone but is more comfortable underfoot, warmer, and easier to clean. Karndean PVC is a product is designed to look like hardwood or tile but is made out of polyvinyl chloride, a durable material that has been used as a floor covering for many years. Today we are taking on a classic floor covering choice that is great for entertaining: hardwood.

When it comes to hardwood floors there are so many great options, but one of our favorites is engineered hand-scraped hardwood. Southern Traditions hardwoods are prepared in the classic traditional American style, from uncompromising source wood selection to the final floor finish. They are painstakingly hand-crafted, one board at a time, by trained hardwood floor artisans, yet still priced affordably enough for those who appreciate fine quality.

We love engineered hand-scraped hardwood floors for entertaining purposes because they look amazing but also hide wear and tear very well. Hand-scraped hardwood floors are hand-crafted individually to give each board unique characteristics. What this means for you is that any dings or scratches you put in the floor will be easily camouflaged. Many people think that cleaning hardwood floors can be problematic, but as long as you sweep regularly and wipe up spills immediately you can have gorgeous floors that last forever.

We think that best part about hardwood floors is that they add so much value to your home. When doing a remodel many people think that changing the floors to anything new will help the resale value of their home, but it this isn’t always the case. Multiple surveys estimate that hardwood flooring can add as much as $7,000-10,000 to a home’s resale value.

Overall hardwood floors are gorgeous, hide wear and tear very well, add so much value to your home, and are PERFECT for entertaining!
