Solid wood flooring

A solid wood floor is fabricated from solid wood with relatively expensive prices because it depends on the wood material such as Merbau, Rosewood, Teak wood, Yellow Balau wood. Although, using solid wood flooring can provide prestige value for the building, but solid wood flooring is not suitable for interiors in tropical countries that have high humidity levels like Indonesia. Because solid wood flooring tends to expand and shrinking that is caused by air temperatures. Natural solid wood flooring is usually produced with a thickness of 15mm to 18mm and can be refinished and repaired after sometimes.

Laminated Wood Flooring

Laminated wood flooring or sometimes referred to as imitation wood is manufactured from wood pulp adhered with glue, and then laminated with decorative patterned wood paper. Like solid wood, laminated wood flooring is not suitable for environments with high air humidity. Compared to a solid wood floor, laminated wood floors will sound hollow and looks extremely unauthentic.

Engineered Wood Flooring

Engineered wood flooring comes from 100% real wood, not fiber wood as used by some furniture manufacturers. It is produced from real wood with multi-layer technology processing, consisting of 2-3 layers with a general thickness of 14mm. Engineered wood flooring is relatively proof against shrinkage and bending because of air temperature. Also, this floor can be used directly underground or attached to concrete as long as the surface is flat.

How to look after hard wood flooring and parquet floors

How to look after hardwood flooring and parquet floors. How to look after wood flooring is kind of easy because there are many ways to stop wooden flooring and parquet floors to be more durable, such as :

1. Keep the ground moist, if exposed to water immediately dry it. Water absorbed into wood or parquet floors makes the flooring swell and break,
2. Using environmentally friendly mops because excess chemicals will damage the coating. Why? Because by using careless cleaning mops – it’ll only damage the layer of vinyl wood and of course it’ll affect the looks too.
3. There must be protection on furniture that attaches directly to the ground such as tables, chairs, cabinets. As an example at the table legs, chairs or cabinets are given a touch padded cushion so that the ends of each – every corner so it won’t scratch and damage the surface of your parquet floor.
4. Move installed furniture directly on to the ground by lifting rather than dragging it. Because moving an item by dragging it’ll only cause damage to the surface of the vinyl floor and cause its appearance to be not nearly as good as before.
5. For maintenance after years of application, a scrubber machine is often used. The workings of this machine will spray liquid and there’s a soft brush that immediately cleans the surface of wooden floors
6. If the coating has faded or the owner wants to alter the color, the outer layer of the floor is often skinned and replaced with a replacement layer. The way the machine works is to get rid of the outer layer of the floor then provides a new layer in keeping the taste. This may be an answer for those of you who want to urge a brand new atmosphere or simply change the inside concept at home.
