Exploring the World Beneath Your Feet: Fun Facts About Flooring and How Final Floors Can Help You

When it comes to home improvement, flooring is often an overlooked aspect, but it’s one of the most impactful changes you can make. Your floors aren’t just surfaces you walk on—they’re the foundation of your space’s style, comfort, and functionality. At Final Floors, we know flooring inside and out, and we’re here to share some fun, interesting facts about flooring while educating you on how to choose the right type for your home.

1. Hardwood Floors: Timeless and Durable

Did you know that hardwood floors can last over 100 years with proper care? That’s why many historic homes still have their original hardwood flooring in excellent condition. Hardwood not only adds warmth and elegance to any space, but it also increases the value of your home. Final Floors specializes in hardwood floor installation and refinishing, including exotic options like Brazilian walnut, which is both beautiful and long-lasting.

Tip: If your hardwood floors start to look worn, they don’t necessarily need to be replaced. Our refinishing services can bring them back to life with a smooth, dust-free resurfacing system, giving them a fresh new look.

2. Vinyl Plank Flooring: The Look of Wood Without the Maintenance

Vinyl plank flooring has gained popularity in recent years for its ability to mimic the look of real hardwood at a fraction of the cost. It’s also water-resistant, making it perfect for areas like kitchens and bathrooms where moisture is a concern. In fact, many vinyl planks today come with commercial-grade wear layers, making them tough enough for heavy traffic areas in your home or even your business.

Fun Fact: Vinyl plank flooring was originally developed in the 1930s but has come a long way since then. Today, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) can mimic not only wood but also stone and ceramic tiles, offering endless design possibilities.

3. Eco-Friendly Flooring Options

Sustainability is becoming a key consideration for many homeowners, and the flooring industry has responded with eco-friendly options like bamboo, cork, and reclaimed hardwood. Bamboo, for instance, is a fast-growing grass that can be harvested in just five years, compared to traditional hardwood, which can take 20 years or more to mature.

Final Floors offers eco-friendly flooring solutions for those who want to reduce their environmental footprint. We can help you choose the best sustainable option that fits your style and needs.

4. Carpet: Comfort and Insulation

Carpet remains a popular choice for bedrooms and living rooms due to its warmth, comfort, and ability to insulate both noise and temperature. Did you know that carpet can reduce noise levels by as much as 30%? This makes it perfect for multi-story homes where noise control is important. Plus, it’s a great option for families with kids or pets, offering a soft landing for any tumbles.

At Final Floors, we offer a wide variety of carpet styles, from plush to Berber, ensuring you find the right texture and durability for your home.
