Restoring Wooden Floors


There has never been a better time to create that clean, gleaming and supremely attractive Scandinavian log cabin feel in your home by restoring the natural floorboards to their original condition.  Too often, beautiful floorboards are hidden beneath carpets, like a sleeping beauty, waiting to be released from a spell.  In these environmentally friendly times of green awareness and heightened hygiene standards, it makes sense to unlock the natural potential of your existing floorboards and see how they can completely transform your home.

Even the cleanest carpets trap dust and a whole micro-fauna of insect life.  Mites are particularly unpleasant pests, congregating wherever dust is trapped and together with pollen grains, pose a particular health hazard, especially to asthma sufferers and others with allergies.  Small children are especially prone to infection, as they tend to crawl around on the floor as they play.

Your first step is to contact a Wood Floor Restoration company to see examples of what they can do to bring your floors back to life.  Choose a well-respected and reputable company; one that uses products from leading flooring materials companies, such as Osmo, Blanchon, Bona or Junckers, all of which have impeccable green credentials and a wealth of experience.

Although you could quite easily carry out wood floor repairs and wood floor restoration yourself, if you have any doubts about your abilities you might instead choose to draw on the expertise of floor sanding and wood floor restoration companies in your locality.

However you have the work done, you will not be disappointed with the end result.
