Want to Have Wooden Floors?

A wooden floor is an asset to any home. The installation or renovation of a wooden floor is a major investment, and the best way to look after this is to make sure that the maintenance is done correctly. Renovating your wooden floor is a complex procedure that requires expert knowledge and top quality equipment.

One of the most important factors when it comes to the maintenance of the wooden floor is the species of tree as well as its physical and mechanical properties: stability, hardness, resistance, density, thermal conductivity, etc. Laminated wooden floor is different from the floor made of regular wood. A solid wooden floor is not a floating floor so has to be secured to the floor underneath. Before you install a floor board over the existing wooden floor, you need to make sure that the wooden floor is fit for the job, that it is capable of bearing pretty big loads.

Surface - What to do?
The wooden floors require regular maintenance with hardening oil, which gives them an increasingly beautiful surface over time. You can use a Sportive Finish which is a 2-component waterbourne 100% polyurethane finish for the surface treatment of wooden sports floors in both specialist and multi-purpose environments. Spectra on the other hand is a one-component waterborne polyurethane/acrylate floor finish for the surface treatment of wooden floors in homes and other areas subject to normal wear. Although not essential, it is normal to re-wax wooden floor surfaces with a fresh coat of liquid wax floor polish every 12-18 months.

What about Furniture?
A good floor varnish should not scratch if you drag heavy furniture on it, but you'll need at least three coats to get that kind of durability. Furniture pedestals and other furniture parts exerting pressure onto the floor should be protected with felt pads (they should not be fixed with nails). Always lift up the furniture rather than dragging it across the room. This is actually where wooden flooring care knowledge should come in because by knowing how to care for your wooden flooring and how to protect it, you will be ensuring that it looks as good as possible for many years to come.

Your investment in a wooden floor is only the start of a life-long enjoyment. A wooden floor is for life, so get it right. A wooden floor is also extremely beneficial to anybody suffering from allergies, eczema and therefore a wooden floor is good for both you and your family.
