10 Benefits of Solid & Engineered Wood

• Price

  You should always try to look at the cost of a new wooden floor as a long term investment. The initial outlay can be fairly expensive, but the fact is some floors can last a life time! They can also be re -sanded which means it pays dividens in the end. A good quality wood floor will also add value to your home.

• Durability

  Solid and enginered wood flooring are a very durable and long-lasting option. If you take care with regular cleaning and hoovering the hard surface can last for decades.

• Warmth

  You cant beat the warmth of a wooden floor. Warm to the touch and adding more thermal insulation to your room once fitted. Enginered wood floors are the only option if you are looking at having a wooden floor with a underfloor heating system. NEVER use solid wood with underfloor heating.

• Versatile

  Wood floors can be used in most areas of the home but we would never recommend putting wood in a bathroom.

• Installation

  There are three methods of installing wood floors, firstly fully bonded, which involves spreading adhesive all over the subfloor then placing the boards into the wet adhesive. Secondly secret nailing, driving serrated nails into the tongue of the board, into the wooden substrate. And lastly a floating floor which involves using a wood floor underlay, then placing the planks on top and clicking the wood floor planks together for a clean fast fit.

• Maintenance

  Cleaning your wood floor we would always recommend using a specially formulated cleaner for oiled floors, and a specially formulated cleaner for lacqured floors. Its quite common people don’t know what type of finish they have and use a genral floor cleaner which will eventually ruin your wood floor finish. We strongly recommend to NEVER use steam mops even though the manufactures of these mops suggest otherwise!!

• Hygene

  Wood flooring is a hyginic surface if cleaned regularly. Unlike carpets where parasites and dust mites can harbour. Also a great option with allergy sufferers.

• Product Range

  Wood flooring choice has grown hugely in the last decade. From wide planks to narrow planks, herringbone to chevron, wood floor finishes such as distressed, smoked, band sawn, hand scrapped, brushed, and different wood species makes for many options for diffrent taste.

• Life of Floor

  Well maintained and fitted some wood floors can last a life time. Even when your floor is looking tired and old you can bring it back to life with a re-sand.

• Environmental

  The wood floors we source are all FSC certified. So rest assured the product you are buying is not making a negative impact on the environment. The fact wooden floors can be sanded means less waste of floor coverings to landfill.
