Longer daylight hours and warm temperatures often lead enthusiastic homeowners to upgrade their homes. A popular springtime project is laying down new flooring to enhance a room’s appearance and function. Here are a few compelling reasons to replace your floors this spring.

Why Install New Floors in Spring?

1. Perfect Temperature

Frigid and hot temperatures have an effect on newly laid hardwood floors, which react to both the dryness of winter and the excessively humid days of summer. For ease of installation, put in new hardwood floors in spring. You’ll miss the winter’s temperature extremes and give your flooring enough time to settle before the heat of summer rolls in.

2. No More Allergens

Although older carpet has a reputation as a haven for allergens, dust, and dirt, new hypoallergenic carpet made from nylon and polypropylene is naturally mold- and mildew-resistant. To reduce irritating particulates, select and install a carpet that reduces allergic responses. Rugs with tight weaves are easy to clean and make it harder for dust and pollen to embed in their fibers. Adhering to a steady cleaning schedule, including vacuuming and shampooing, will reduce the symptoms of the allergy sufferers in your household.

3. Ventilation

Installing new flooring sometimes involves chemical sealers and adhesives that cause odors and fumes to permeate the air. Airing a home out in the middle of winter may not be feasible. Instead, wait until spring when you won’t mind opening doors and windows to let in the fresh air and ventilate rooms. You’ll enjoy your new floors without exposure to irritating fumes.
