Selecting flooring for your home is a big decision that can completely transform your renovation or new build.
Why We Love Our Stuga Engineered Hardwood Floors
When it comes to flooring, I believe that it should be a perfect blend of beauty, durability, and sustainability. After extensive research, I chose Stuga's engineered hardwood floor in Shell, and I couldn’t be happier with the decision. Shell is made of natural oak and is a perfect choice for any style of home.
Here’s why I love these floors and some of the key benefits they offer.
1. Timeless Elegance
You absolutely cannot go wrong with any of the options that Suga offers. Unlike LVP or laminate, hardwood floors have a warmth and comfort underfoot that I absolutely love. Stuga’s engineered hardwood feels solid and soft to walk on, adding an inviting feel to our house.
Shell brings a light, airy feel to my space, giving it a modern yet timeless look with its mid tones and character. The pale wood tones are versatile, complementing both neutral and bold interior designs. Whether it’s bathed in natural light during the day or softly lit at night, the color exudes warmth and elegance.
2. Sustainability
One of the standout reasons I chose Stuga was their commitment to sustainability. The wood used for these floors is sourced from responsibly managed European forests, ensuring the environmental impact is minimized. Additionally, Stuga’s focus on low-VOC finishes and non-toxic adhesives aligns with my values of keeping my home free of harmful chemicals. I love that I can enjoy the beauty of hardwood floors without compromising my health or the planet.
3. Engineered for Durability
Engineered hardwood, especially from a brand like Stuga, offers the best of both worlds, the natural beauty of real wood and the added strength of a layered construction. The multi-layer design ensures that the floors are resistant to warping and temperature fluctuations, making them perfect for various climates and conditions (even our cold winters and bright sun). I also appreciate how they stand up to daily wear and tear, maintaining their pristine appearance over time.
4. Easy Maintenance
Another major perk is how easy it is to install and care for these floors. Stuga floors are designed to be low-maintenance, meaning I don’t have to worry about constant upkeep. Regular vacuuming and spot cleaning keep our floors looking fresh and clean, making it a practical choice for busy households. The character and finish hides dust and small imperfections (we do have a toddler running around!), which has been a pleasant surprise. For even less maintenance check out Fredrik.
5. Stair Nosing
The perfectly matching flush stair nosings were another big selling point for us. Their flush nosings lack any overhang whatsoever for an incredibly clean look.
6. Investment in Quality
Stuga is known for their attention to detail and commitment to quality. From the careful selection of materials to the precision in crafting each plank, I’ve been able to see and feel the difference in these floors. The durability and timeless appeal mean that these floors are not just a design choice but an investment that will stand the test of time in both aesthetics and value.
Choosing Stuga’s engineered hardwood floors has been one of the best decisions we made for our home. The combination of sustainability, durability, and timeless design has created a space that feels both stylish and welcoming. Whether you’re looking for flooring that enhances the aesthetic of your home or you’re seeking an eco-friendly option, Stuga delivers on every front.
