Oak Flooring Advice

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

It is easy to create outstanding effects using hardwood flooring, whether you use maple, walnut or oak flooring. Whether you are creating rustic looks using oak flooring or a clean minimalistic fitted kitchen using maple, hardwood flooring always looks outstanding. Oak flooring is a favourite as it brings a lot of warmth and richness to a room and looks outstanding with age. The size of the planks you should use is directly proportional to the size of the room. The usual rule is longer planks for larger rooms and shorter planks for little rooms. They can be used in any room but if you are planning to use them in a bathroom or fitted kitchen then they will need to be sealed.

As it goes when maintaining your hardwood it is vital that any spillages are tidied up quickly as water can damage hardwood easily causing it to bend. Apart from that they require fairly little care and are relatively easy to install. If you fancy a change it is simply a case of sanding down and varnishing in a different shade so they can be easily changed. A timber supplier displays the FSC logo it uses renewable timber sources. The Forest Stewardship Council or FSC is an global network that encourages responsible forestry management.
