How to Choose Hardwood Flooring That Will Get Your House Noticed (4 of 5)

Pet-Friendly Flooring
Hardwood flooring is a practical choice for pet owners as it's relatively easy to clean and doesn't trap dust and other allergens the way carpeted floors do. Although engineered wood can be more scratch resistant, its thin layer of wood can't be refinished multiple times like hardwood can. So if you have active dogs, you may want to opt for solid hardwood floors that can be refinished multiple times.
Noise Reduction
If you prefer that the pitter patter of little feet - or big feet, for that matter - be muffled, cork flooring has sound-absorbing properties to keep your home quiet. Its leathery look and comfort underfoot make it an attractive option. Cork is also an eco-friendly product because it's derived from the bark of the cork tree and doesn't require constant replanting.
