The appeal of wooden floors in your home is difficult to beat. That seamless flow from room to room looks stunning in any home, along with the low maintenance appeal, allergy advantages and the fact that when professionally fitted can add value to your home. There are a few things you need to be aware of before thinking about moving from carpet or tiles to wooden flooring.
Whether you choose to go for laminate, engineered or solid wooden floors you need to be aware that installing them in recognised damp areas or rooms that are subject to more water such as kitchens and bathrooms then more consideration is required to ensuring that any spillages, drips or splashes are removed as soon as possible.
We often fit wooden floors in kitchens and bathrooms and we will give you advice on what to do when when we do fit in these areas. Wooden flooring is extremely resilient, long lasting and resistant to splashes and minor spills but it is not waterproof, so any resting water will eventually seep through and cause damage.
JG Flooring supply and fit various types of wooden flooring for different rooms. Specialised flooring can be chosen for rooms where the chance of excess surface water is high. The great thing about wooden flooring is that any damaged areas can be taken up a replaced by a professional floor fitter.
Where solid wooden floor is used, there are various techniques to remove stains from water damage using a sand and seal process and then re-applying a protective top coat to seal the floor.
