I would like the hardwood floor that
does not scratch……
From time to time at my store, Capell Flooring and Interiors, we get asked for the hardwood
flooring that does not scratch. The
first time I heard this I had to smile just a little bit. I thought that would be a good topic to
tackle briefly today in today’s blog. This
confusion can be traced back to misleading advertising from some box stores in
past years where many times the fine print didn’t even match the warranty they
were advertising.
There are definitely hardwoods that are less likely to
scratch because they are just harder hardwoods.
(See my previous Janka scale
post for more info there) There are also better hardwood finishes which are
stronger and provide better protection than others which again helps. Although both of these are helpful, they
definitely don’t make anything scratch proof.
Here is something to think about: Even stainless steel, which is extremely hard and a lot harder than hardwood, will scratch. (See hardwood gallery here) Take a quick peek at your kitchen sink and you will see what I mean J Those that know me well, know I like to keep things light hearted at times. That being said, the only floor that I think is completely “scratch proof” is the more traditional dirt floor of years past. You can sweep out scratches in the dirt floor, and they will go away, but I think I would rather stick with hardwood floors and run the risk of getting scratches in them.
Here at Capell Flooring and Interiors, we have many hardwood floors to choose from, and we sand and refinish floors all the time. Please come in and see us and we will help you get a beautiful hardwood floor that may not be “scratch proof,” but we can help with making it scratch resistant.
