Improvements in technology have strengthened the durability of quality hardwoods. Hardwood flooring replaces carpet flooring in bathrooms and laundry rooms as well as it has traditionally brought elegance to dining rooms and formal living areas. Recognizing the durability of hardwood flooring over carpet flooring, homeowners choose hardwood with increasing frequency, maximizing their flooring design investment. Of course, when choosing flooring in Durham, it is critical to choose the right type of wood for high moisture areas.
As flooring is installed and various wood types are identified and purchased, the ecosystem is positively affected. The only renewable construction material available for flooring in Durham, wood is also a recyclable material, sculpted by nature's elements. Responsible, careful use of the forests and practicing selective cutting methods, can promote new tree growth. As forests populate and age, overcrowding can cause trees to stop growing and they begin to decay. The released carbon dioxide from the decaying trees contributes to the greenhouse effect. Conscientious and careful harvesting methods can stimulate growth, increase sunlight and over time, encourage diversity of species and their survival.
