How Long Can I Expect My Hardwood Flooring To Last?

The continuing popularity of hardwood flooring is no surprise. With it’s undeniable timeless beauty, affordability and durability, savvy homeowners everywhere are turning to hardwood flooring to enhance their homes. There is no other flooring surface quite like wood for the natural character and charm it imparts to a space. But when it comes to choosing flooring materials, you want to make decisions based on value and performance as well as aesthetic appeal. So just how long can I expect my hardwood flooring investment to last?

The answer? Hardwood floors are extremely enduring. They can be refinished, sanded, and stained multiple times over long periods. Real wood floors can also be repaired when normal wear and tear or even harsh treatment would spell the end of other flooring. In fact, with proper care and it’s not uncommon for a natural hardwood floor to last a lifetime.

Typically hardwood floors should be refinished every 8-12 years, but this can vary  depending upon lifestyle and how you treat your floors. Hardwood floors require regular maintenance, but the products you choose to clean the floor are important too. Many people prefer to use a traditional vinegar and water solution for a safe, natural, eco-friendly cleaning option. It’s important to remember, however, that vinegar is acidic and can break down a finish over time.

Using a milder cleaning solution for your hardwood flooring will help the finish last as long as possible. The more frequently you have to finish your floor, the less durable the hardwood floor is. Some people don’t refinish/recoat their floors and are perfectly content leaving them the way they were installed. Rustic is increasingly popular, but does lack the eye-catching luster that brings hardwood floors to life.
