The Importance Of A Well-Maintained Wooden Floor

Getting to grips with the maintenance needs of your wooden floor will ensure the longevity, quality appearance and safety of the surface, therefore choosing compatible products will yield the very best results. Many accidents and occurrences can result in the decline of wooden surfaces, whereas gradual damage is almost unavoidable. Within this dedicated blog, we’ll cover all bases, taking a look through the benefits of wooden floor upkeep, alongside specific Treatex solutions which can make a noticeable difference in 2023.

Why Wood?

Wood is favoured as an alternative to laminate or carpet for many reasons, not least due to the fantastic rustic appearance and visual appeal. Not only is wooden flooring likely to strike all the right chords with guests and visitors, but solid wood flooring is sure to add value to your home if you’re refurbishing, not to mention that wood is eco-friendly if properly sourced, meeting sustainability goals. Ultimately, if you’re looking to achieve a rustic vintage look within your home, there are few better options than planks crafted from mahogany, teak, walnut, oak, ash, birch or maple.

Appearance

Few materials capture the imagination within a domestic setting quite like wood, and with mantlepieces, furniture and built-in structures all regularly crafted from natural wood material, you can quite easily achieve cohesion by mixing and matching with existing assets. Even better, wood seamlessly matches with almost any interior design style or colour scheme, therefore you’ll never need to worry about clashes! Treatex interior products are perfect for the sitting room, kitchen or bedrooms, while exterior oils are compatible with decking.

Safety

To keep your hardwood floor safe from damage and slip hazards, you can use a rug or combine your wood floors with thick underlay. If you have children, especially toddlers, you can consider having hardwood floors instead of tiles or mosaic in your home. Looking at options within a commercial setting? There are regulations in the UK around health and safety that directly refer to the flooring used in a workplace, and hardwood flooring will make certain tasks difficult or dangerous if upkeep isn’t prioritised.

Durability

Using the right oil or wood product to protect and nourish the surfaces in your home won't only make them look beautiful, but will also result in a hard-wearing effect - which will increase their longevity. Surface finishes sit on top of the wood, whilst wood oils are absorbed into the wood, providing both internal and external protection.
