Why Buy Softwood?Kootenay Innovative Wood

A softwood floor is one of the best investments you can make for your home. Its naturally attractive appearance and surprising durability can add comfort and warmth to your home, while also adding to your resale value.

Softwood’s unique appearance allows you to add flair to any room. If your project requires a casual, country look then softwood might be perfect for you. If you are in love with the pristine look of Oak or Maple, you may want to consider a clear-grain line of softwood (like Kootenay Innovative Wood’s Valhalla Collection), that gives you the appearance of hardwood for a fraction of the cost.

Despite its name, softwood is quite resistant to damage. But the beauty of softwood is that any dents or scratches that appear only accent the already pastoral look of the wood. In other words, the more use your floor sees, the better it will look. You can never prevent dents in a real wood floor, but with softwood your floor only gets better with age.

Using softwood is also a great way to save on renovation/construction costs. By choosing softwood over hardwood you get a real wood floor with money leftover for new furniture, artwork, or a new toy for the family. Add it all up, and it’s clear that softwood is the best choice for smart homeowners.
