Protecting Your Wood Floors from Damage

Whether you have just had new wood floors installed or you recently moved into a home with hardwood floors, It is important that you know how to take care of them. Taking care of your wood floors is super easy. Keep your hardwood floors looking great for years to come with these easy tips!

No Shoes in the Home

No matter how clean you think your shoes are before coming indoors, there is always just a tiny bit left. Your shoes may track in a variety of things from the outside world that will damage your wood floors. Dirt, sand, dust, and water can all be monitored in on the bottoms of the shoes, no matter how well you wash them off to the mat. Notably in the colder seasons when there are all types of de-icing substances everywhere, it is necessary that people everyone their sneakers to protect the wood. As time passes, the little pieces that get tracked in can wear down the end. If you are uncomfortable with bare toes, try keeping some slippers close to the door!

Keep Dust Away

Your new wood floors are very vulnerable to moisture damage, so you don't want to mop them too often. Probably the best part is that you won't even have to mop a good deal! All you will need to do is maintain the dust consumed, and place clean whenever necessary and you are all set!

Clean Spills Immediately

Injuries happen. When they perform, it's super important that wet spills get cleaned up right away. The moisture may actually soak into the floor and cause it to swell. Wipe up any spills using an outside-in strategy: start about the outer borders of this pool and work your way slowly inward to make certain you're getting all of it up.

Chessington Floor Sanding

Solid and Engineered Wood Flooring Solid wood flooring is a solid piece of wood from the top to the bottom. The thickness varies from ¾” to 5/16”. Those wood floors can be installed both above and on grade, and they can be sanded and refinished during its service life. Engineered wood floors from other side are also real wood floors made by using multiple wood or wood composite veneers. The veneers can be from the same or from different wood species. It have a great stability because the grain of each veneer runs in different direction. This mean that the wood will resist expanding and contracting during fluctuations in humidity and temperature which is really making it wide usable. This type of flooring can also be sanded and refinished and it can be installed above, on or below grade.
