Wood flooring Birmingham is easily manipulated by its surrounding environment, especially excess moisture or excessive temperature changes. Understandably, many homeowners are worried about inadvertently damaging their new wooden floor, and it’s for these reasons that many homeowners struggle to know how to clean their new floors. If this sounds familiar, then be sure to read below for a step by step guide on how to clean and care for your wooden floor.

Preventative Measures

The surface of a wooden floor can be scraped and cut by bits of dirt and gravel brought in from outside, which is why it’s strongly advised that homeowners invest in a mat by the front door. This should catch any bits of debris before they have a chance to damage your new wooden floor.

While external factors can damage the surface of your floor, so can items within your homes like furniture and shoes. Therefore, if you have chairs or furniture in your room that you move, it’s suggested that you put some protective tabs on the bottom of your furniture to prevent it from scraping your floor and damaging it.

Remove Moisture

Moisture is wood flooring’s kryptonite, making it warp and become damaged beyond recognition. For this reason, you should wring as much water as possible from your mop’s head before commencing with the cleaning. In addition to this, if any drinks are spilt, you should mop them up as quickly as possible before they have a chance to seep into the wood and damage it.

Preventative Measures

As any well respected timber merchant or floor supplier will tell you, the first step to maintaining your floor is preventing any real damage occurring in the first place. There are various means by which you can do this including;

-    Sweeping/hoovering up dirt and grit which could otherwise mark your floor.
-    Place mats in the entrances to capture any dirt or grit
-    Immediately wipe up any spillages with a damp cloth
-    Avoid excess moisture when cleaning your floor as this can lead to the wood expanding.

Preservation Measures

As with most floors, there are certain measures that need to be taken to ensure it remains healthy. Whilst carpets can become grubby even with considerable care, with a hardwood floor you can care for your wood floor and reap the rewards with a surface that keeps looking fresh and clean.

Deciding on the right type of flooring for your property can be a difficult task. For many, carpets are the ideal choice; for others wood flooring is popular, and for good reason. As with all forms of flooring, wooden floors come with a range of benefits for the homeowner and also the overall look of a property. To help you decide on the best form of wooden flooring for your property, here at Prestige Woods we’ve used our 25 years experience within the industry to provide this beginner’s guide.

For many homeowners, solid wood flooring is the preferred wooden flooring option, due to the many benefits that it offers. The main advantage that natural solid wood floors offer is that they provide a natural element of beauty and warmth to any room and any property; adding character too.

Once the flooring has been laid by a professional such as us here at Prestige Woods, it can add value to your property and it requires little maintenance. However, buying solid wood flooring can be expensive and with constant stress by chairs, high heels and other objects it can become easily damaged.

For those that don’t have the disposable income available to buy solid wood flooring; engineered wooden floors are a popular choice, as they provide the same aesthetically pleasing elements of solid wood, but at a fraction of the costs.

The design of engineered wood flooring comprises layers which work together to provide strength. This strength is increased with the use of natural wood as the top layer.  Although engineered flooring is a cheaper alternative to solid wood flooring, it’s still liable to the same level of damage, and unlike natural wood within engineered flooring it cannot be as easily sanded out.

Whichever form of wood flooring that you opt for, at Prestige Woods we have a range of showrooms throughout the UK where you can view the various forms, designs and styles; allowing you to find the perfect flooring for your property, which is also within your budget constraints.

Prized for its natural beauty, strength and overall durability, hardwood flooring is now commonplace in schools, leisure centres, hotels and domestic properties alike. However, here at Ajax Flooring our experience in all manner of flooring London has taught us that there are a number of things that can be done to care for timber floors, therefore extending their life considerably. Commercial clients especially should take care to protect their flooring investment, particularly if the floor is subject to heavy and/or constant use. Whether you have solid or engineered hardwood flooring we offer care advice that sees wood shining for longer.

There are certain preventative measures you can take to ensure your Ajax Flooring floor stays looking new for longer. Knowing what can damage the wood in your floor is the first step to preserving it, and most dangers can be identified with a little common sense.

Moisture

Although treated to create a high quality finish, wood remains a natural material which can be damaged by too much moisture or standing water. This means homeowners and caretakers should avoid washing their floor using wet mops wherever possible, unless this has been deemed ok by the flooring supplier. Furthermore, make sure that any spillages or leaks are remedied immediately in order to avoid damage to the finish, discolouration and deterioration.

Dirt and Gravel

School children, guests or simply members of the family can all bring dirt and grit into the house by not removing their shoes. Stiff, high quality mats at entrances or a no shoes rule can prevent dirt becoming ingrained and grit scratching the floor’s surface.

Sunlight

Finally, many people overlook the effect that constant direct sunlight has on wood. Avoid continued exposure as this can lead to the appearance becoming dull. For more information regarding flooring London from our team or further care advice please fill out the enquiry form on our website.

If you’re responsible for an industrial or commercial property then you’ll probably already be aware of how different such buildings need to be compared to traditional domestic dwellings. Government regulations and health and safety guidelines impose special requirements upon industrial units which must be adhered to by law in many cases. A warehouse or factory’s flooring is by no means except from such considerations; it’s important to select a type which can handle industrial use. Thankfully, here at Shirley Industrial Painters we have a tried and tested solution in the form of a new epoxy floor Birmingham.

Epoxy floors are used in industrial environments due to an impressive list of resistance properties.

Durability

At a molecular level Epoxy floors comprise very strongly bonded molecules, which give them a high level of resistance to repeated wear and high impacts. In an industrial environment this means that they’re able to withstand tyre wear from vehicles such as fork lift trucks, and impacts from dropped items and miscellaneous damage.

Slip – Resistance

Here at Shirley Industrial Painters we’re able to provide slip – resistant additives in the composition of our epoxy flooring which helps keep employees safe from harmful falls within an industrial or commercial environment. Added grip helps companies meet health and safety guidelines and improves vehicle traction in warehouse environments.

Electrical Insulation

Epoxy floors generally possess high insulating properties, which mean that there are no issues concerning the use of electrical equipment and machinery in the property. They’re completely waterproof too, so don’t worry if your new floor gets wet.

Heat Resistance

This quality can be especially useful in many factory and workshop applications – the normal heat generating processes aren’t a problem for an epoxy floor Birmingham like this.
