  9. I think that wood floors can be pretty amazing. They do take attention and care, but it is worth the time that you put into it. They are a lot easier to clean and do basic maintenance on.

  11. Thanks for sharing this perspective. I haven't been able to find as many articles talking about potential cons to wood flooring. Fortunately, the swelling in extreme temperatures you mention won't be an issue for our area. It's been a long time since we had an extreme temperature. Thiago | http://mansionhillcustomfloors.com
