Regardless of the fact that it is the most difficult to keep clean and maintain, and does not last as long as tile, hardwood, or vinyl flooring, carpeting is still, today, the biggest selling type of floor covering for the home or office. When it comes to comfort and warmth, nothing, it seems, comes close. Aside from beach sand, most of us would probably choose carpeting as the most preferred surface in the world to walk on when barefooted.

Joe Harr built his home in 1886 in the Fairmount community of Stuttgart, Arkansas. The old Harr house today still stands with original hardwood flooring in a section of its interior. Hardwood floors installed in numerous historical houses and public buildings at the time of construction can still be found around the country. And there is a very good reason for this; most hardwood floors are extremely durable, and with some minor maintenance may last well over a century. (Meaning that, eventually, someone else will have to do the maintaining).
