Hypoallergenic benefits of hardwood flooring

Many people suffer from allergies (dust, mold, mildew, bacteria, dust mites, etc). Allergy sufferers usually take lots of medications to minimize the symptoms, but usually don't address the problem.

The solution could be using products in our daily lives that are hypoallergenic. Start correcting the problem of allergies.

Babies love to crawl around and put things in their mouths. Since babies spend a lot of time on the floor, you should look into flooring options that will minimize exposure to harmful germs, mold, mildew and bacteria. Choosing hypoallergenic options, such as natural hardwood flooring, could diminish the risk of harmful exposure to your little ones.

Health conscious

Designers and architects agree that natural hardwood flooring is a great choice for a health-conscious, beautiful home. Hardwood flooring is being installed in more bedrooms.

Changing to wood floors in the business environment can result in a positive and significant impact on productivity, thus lowering the cost of doing business.

An ounce of prevention

In Sweden and many parts of the world it is part of the culture to remove your shoes before entering a home. They feel it is a way of keeping their floors cleaner, longer-lasing and more hypoallergenic. Today's finishes are considerably more scuff resistant than the hardwood finishes used in the past, but the hypoallergenic issues remain the same.
