Why solid wood
The Case for Solid
Hardwood Flooring
Solid wood costs more upfront than other floor types. Here is why it is worth it.
- 01
It lasts a lifetime
Solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished 5 to 8 times over its life. A floor fitted today could still be beautiful in 50 years.
- 02
It adds real property value
Solid wood floors are a recognised value-adding feature by Irish estate agents — particularly in Dublin 4, 6, 14 and 18.
- 03
It improves with age
Unlike engineered or laminate, solid wood develops character over time. Minor marks and patina add to its beauty rather than detracting from it.
- 04
It performs in all conditions
Properly acclimatised and fitted, solid wood handles the Irish climate well. We advise on species and grade for your specific room and conditions.
