Deciding what type of flooring to use in your home can be a difficult decision. Should you go for carpet or real wood floors? Here at First Floors we love the flexibility, choice and longevity of wooden flooring. Below we share some reasons why you should choose wooden flooring for your home.

1. Wooden flooring is strong and durable

One popular advantage of real wood floors is that they are incredibly tough and long-lasting. Engineered wood flooring is designed to last and as long as you treat it with care and look after your flooring, it will last you a very long time. This toughness makes it ideal for families with young children and pets.

2. It’s simply classic

Real wood floors are timeless and work with any style of the room. They help to add character to a room, no matter what type of wood you choose. Maple and oak floors are warm and inviting and look good even after twenty years when they may have suffered a few minor scrapes. Wooden floors never lose their stylish quality.

3. The versatile flooring option

Wooden flooring is just so incredibly versatile, as there is so much choice out there. You have a range of finishes and textures to choose from, including bleached hardwoods and timber. You also have the option of treating the grain and adding a colour stain if you so wish. Use warm oak floors in your living and dining areas and lighter tones in a small kitchen.

4. Easy to maintain and clean

We all want flooring that is easy to clean and maintain in the long run. Thankfully, wooden floors are very easy to keep clean. All they need is a quick sweep and an occasional mop with a very damp cloth. It’s important to mop up spills as soon as they happen and to keep the floor as clean as possible.

Fantastic service. David gave me great advice on which flooring would be most suitable for my business premises. Within the week Steven came to fit the flooring and, as promised, was in and out in a day. Can’t recommend this local Company enough. Anna Smylie ZuZu Giffnock.

We recently purchased engineered oak flooring and carpets from First Floors. The customer service from David and team was exceptional. We had just moved home from overseas and bought a house with no floors so we did not have access to allow First Floors to measure. Theye allowed us to use our own measurements as we wanted the floors laid ASAP once we had the keys. The floor is beautiful and laid very professionally (thanks Steven). The carpets are also lovely and exactly what I wanted. The only thing I would change about the experience would be to have First Floors assess the house in advance. We have fire doors which were a problem the day the carpets were laid. This was not the issue of First Floors and it was resolved quickly. Thanks again David, we would highly recommend First Floors to anyone.

Another Great Job Done!!
Just had our third floor project in seven years completed by First Floors once again.
Great service from David and his showroom team from assisting in the selection of materials through to arranging the installation. Chris and his team worked tidily and efficiently on the hardwood flooring with great attention to detail. Gordon who fitted the stair carpet was very professional in his work and was able to resolve some problematic details to our entire satisfaction.
Would definitely recommend First Floors.
