5 WAYS TO PREVENT HARDWOOD FLOORS FROM FADING

Hardwood Floor Sun Damage


You have invested a great deal on your hardwood flooring . However, when your floors are over-exposed to sun, they could fade, become stained and sew with time. To start off, the radiation management plays a role, of course. But gaps in humidity can issue, too -- moist wood responds differently to the sun's radiation compared to wood does. Below are five ways to prevent this annoying fading effect:

1. "Switch things up" together with your area's furniture.

Every few months, think about moving your carpeting around, shifting your furniture placement, etc.. You do not should make radical changes -- only scramble the decoration enough so that different regions of the flooring get unique levels of sunlight exposure.


2. Protect your floors with plants, curtains, or colors.

Just like the searing sunlight can burn your body, if you expose it too long; so, too, can the sun burn off an over-exposed floor. Use curtains or drapes to supply shade -- or plant bushes outside in front of the window to negate the sunlight's effects.

3. Refinish your flood floors regularly.

Do not wait until sun damage (or water damage... or another type of damage) gets too intense. By being mindful of your flooring, you can systematically"grab and thwart" sun damage until it becomes permanent or defacing.


4. Redesign the lighting scheme of your room.

For instance, rather than allowing harsh direct sunlight to shine through your windows, install UV-shielding windows or permanently colour the window and set up exquisite skylights to obviously light up the space without cluttering the flooring with sunlight.

Last, Consult with a Hardwood Floor Restoration Company

Oak Flooring Adds Value to Your Home

If you are remodelling your home with an eye to beauty and resale value, look no farther than walnut flooring. Oak is a timeless hardwood flooring material that adds a touch of class to any home it's installed in. Why choose pine above other hardwood choices? It can easily be argued that oak is your best option due to its beauty, durability, and the vast array of finishes available. Benefits of Oak Flooring Oak has long been associated with wealth and luxury. It's a beautiful natural woodgrain, and its own colour simply improves with time. As it is available in a lot of finishes, it's equally at home in the recovery of a Victorian home and at the new building of a modern property. Home buyers love walnut because it speaks to standard. When a prospective buyer sees bamboo hardwood flooring at a London home, they can count on the remaining materials used in the home to be of high quality too. Oak flooring lasts almost forever.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF WOOD FLOORING?

There's no doubt in our minds when it comes to choosing your flooring, the advantages of hardwood floors much outweigh the other choices. There is a natural warmth to timber which no additional material has successfully replicated. In a world full of plastic, this ancient construction material is beautifully tactile and retains both a natural energy and a sense of human tradition.
