"Real wooden flooring is a perfect fit for wheelchairs as it is hard and smooth, allowing for complete ease of movement – and it looks beautiful. Some types of wood are harder than others, and something like oak, maple, or hickory is easy to find and tough enough to withstand the pressure from wheelchairs"
