There is a common misconception that hardwood floors are not appropriate for a home with children. This really isn’t the case and the following information looks into why. Firstly, hardwood flooring is steeped in history. It is a beautiful and natural alternative that, if cared for, will last a lifetime. Some even believe that it improves with age. Wood floors are great for many reasons in a family home. Here is why.
Child Safety
Wood is a natural shock absorber. If your child falls on your wood floor, it is likely they will hurt themselves less than if they fell on a tile or other floor. Generally wooden flooring offers better slip resistance which can also help with little children running around in socks.
Accidental Spills
Children have accidents. It is unrealistic to think that they won’t spill a drink, their food, play doh or paint on your wood floors. As a hard surface, these are generally easy to wipe up with a damp cloth. The trick is to clean up the spillage as soon as possible. This generally makes the process easier and less of a challenge.
Clever Restoration
Children enjoy playing on wood floors. They will likely move toys over the surface of the floor, they can even drop toys which can cause scratches or dents. This is less likely with a hardwood alternative, however, it is not impossible to damage a hardwood floor.
