Going green…staying green…MAKING GREEN

Okay, time to put in new floors. Why are unfinished wood floors the greenest choice? We know all the choices, we see the cheesy box store offerings, we have had the sticker shock at the boutique, so now what?

Lets make this easy, shall we?

We KNOW we want to be sensible and be as green, Earth friendly as we can be…so no carpet, vinyl or laminates. We know we love natural products, so lets focus on ceramic, stone or hardwood. We know we hate hard and cold and the Doctor has told us that its why our back hurts…so hardwood.

Okay, we love hardwood…now what?

Well, we want to be green, as we said…so no engineered products.

We want to be able to keep it clean and not worry about potential health problems from food dust and hair between the boards…so no tacky pre finished.

We want to do it ourselves…won’t the unfinished be to hard to do? No…on the contrary, it is VERY forgiving because you are putting down a raw product, so you can make mistakes, drop things and do no harm. A quick sanding and the boo boo’s disappear… your left with smooth, flat and easy to coat. The new finishes on the market are stronger and more healthy then ever. A couple coats and your set for years or decades with a beautiful ‘furniture’ look on the floor, all sealed and as healthy, warm, quiet and soothing as any floor could ever be.

Great…can I afford it?

Unfinished flooring can be the MOST affordable choice you can make in your home. If you were to purchase online from a reputable mill that belongs to the National Wood Flooring Association, for your peace of mind, and one that sells direct to customers…such as Seneca Hardwoods LLC in Odessa, NY…then you can open up many doors for choice and savings.

It’s not uncommon for an appraiser to give pre finished hardwood a 2 to 1 price value (spend $1000 and add $2000 to the value of a home) but ALL appraisers will give a site finished (unfinished) wood floor a cost to value of as much as 7 to 1…now that is money!

So see…it is easy, just needed to work through it.

Be green…buy wood.

Stay green…buy unfinished wood.

Make green…instant value from buying your beautiful, new wood floor DIRECT.

And remember…use your heads! If someone says they buy from the mill and sell to you…they aren’t eliminating the middle man…they ARE the middle man!!!

Now…feel good, do good…look good!
