Hardwood Flooring Increases Home Resale Value

Flooring, regardless of the type, is the focal point of nearly any home and ties the rooms of a house together. And the right flooring can add value to a home now and in the future when it comes time to sell.

Wood floors add beauty and charm, and its character and sophistication is hard to match. The rule of thumb on flooring is the most resilient and long lasting, the higher the upgrade, but the higher return is on investment – wood flooring, solid and engineered, is on the higher end of the spectrum.

A study of home buyer preferences by USA Today, using data from the National Association of Realtors found that 54% of home buyers were willing to pay more for a home with hardwood flooring. Homeowners have also seen a higher return on investment if they sell their home with new or refinished hardwood floors.

Likewise, a survey by the National Wood Flooring Association echoed this, with a majority of real estate agents saying houses with hardwood flooring are easier to sell, sell for more money and sell faster. Anecdotally, this is especially so when homes have wood flooring in key rooms, such as living room, dining room and family room, as well as master bedroom.

While the up-front cost may be higher, hardwood flooring can greatly impact resale value. There is no doubt that wood flooring brings a “wow” factor to a home.

At Arimar International, we believe in environmental and corporate social responsibility; in practicing sustainable forestry our forests will be viable for generations to come. Wood flooring is the most abundantly renewable flooring material available, and is the most environmentally friendly flooring option available. Sustainable forest management makes it possible to harvest wood without any serious impact on the environment, according to the U.S. Forest Service. Furthermore, because wood floors can last hundreds of years, they use fewer raw materials, energy and natural resources.

Arimar’s manufacturing processes utilize the entire tree from root to crown, leaving no waste behind. Therefore, you can be rest assured that our hardwood floors are produced with sustainable practices.

Our Floor Art Wide Plan Collection is also made out of Heveas or Rubber tree. Hevea is well known for its high density, hardness, and physical and mechanical strength, with similar characteristics to Oak. An added benefit is the Rubberwood’s high level of dimensional stability, allowing it to withstand external pressures such as temperature, moisture and air. This makes it an exceptionally great option for homes in warmer, more humid climates. Explore Arimar’s Floor Art Collection>>

We’re excited to introduce you to Valencia. Valencia is part of Arimarwood’s new Iberian Collection of European Oak engineered wood flooring. With its natural colored hardwood floor and matte finish, it lends itself to many design ideas, allowing you to make it your own. Get to know Valencia.

Color and Size: Its lovely, subdued blend of tan and grey has earned Valencia its title as the “new natural,” with an elegance that’s Euro-chic. Valencia is available in ¾” x 9 ¾” and 5/8” x 8 ½.” The wide plank wire-brushed and finished with a low gloss, gives residences a matte and contemporary look.

Construction and Properties: The Iberian Collection is designed to be tough and durable. The pre-finished engineered flooring features a durable UV cured aluminum oxide finish and Bona lifetime support warranty. This makes the flooring scratch, slip and impact-resistant and allows for easy cleaning and stain removal.

Design and Style: Valencia’s tan and grey coloring is well-balanced. This makes it as versatile to work with as natural and beige tones; it casts a sophisticated look that goes with any shade of furniture or accessories. But because grey is a little bit different and unexpected, it can also be a great base for unusual interior design.
