Did You Know Wood Floors Are Energy Efficient? Since most homes and commercial properties in Canada all pertain hardwood floors, you should consider getting on the bandwagon if you had not already. Hardwood floor installations have numerous benefits, more importantly being energy efficiency. Nowadays, it is important to build properties that are susceptible to energy efficient solutions, in order to preserve our future. The great thing about hardwood floors is that it does not trap heat within your property. These special floors allows for the proper circulation of heat to flow naturally and accordingly throughout, resulting in more comfortable air temperatures. With good circulation from your wood floors, this will let your HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air condition) system relax and not need to work as hard to produce more air. You can add insulation in your floors to maximize energy efficiency. Depending on the season transitions, your property should always feel comfortable inside when you have insulation. For example, in the scorching hot summer heat, the insulation in your wood floors should help to keep out unwanted air heat from getting in. This can leave family members very uncomfortable and relying on your HVAC system for help (resulting in wasting more money per year). If it is a cold winter season, you want to keep your house warm- and insulation can do this naturally by blocking out the cold air from outside.
