Environmentally friendly wood floors

21st October 2013

The quality of a wood floors and the process it goes through before is of the upmost importance.

At First Floors in Giffnock, we only use the best and most affordable companies on the market today. There are many wood supplying companies, but we like to hand-pick who we use, as quality and affordability go hand in hand in our eyes. We like to think that we understand our customers and that we can answer as many questions as possible. We only want supply a product that will satisfy and deliver to our customers the best. I think we all want that! Woodpecker is one of the wood floor companies that we use, and in most cases the timber that is felled, is air dried for about 12 months before a two stage firing and kilning process. What this process does, is it gives the product maximum stability. It literally goes through a dehumidification process. The next process is to select the correct grains and textures. This involves choosing the appropriate grain patterns, tones, colours and knots. This allows them to designate the wood to the relevant range. After this, the product is machined using the latest technologies. As with all advances in technology these days, the machining has become so refined that your floor will be the nearest to perfection that it can be. Of course another thing to take into consideration is that the wood floors you are purchasing are coming from sustainable sources and we at First Floors are proud to say that we only use companies, and this includes Woodpecker, that care about our environment. This means that your floor is not having a negative effect on our beautiful planet. I think we all are aware of how important that this is today. Wood is just one of the most beautiful natural products that we have and we are gratified that at First Floors we support sustainability to Forests. Well, we hope that this has given some back-ground on our fantastic products here, and please call us on 0141 638 0968 for a chat or to arrange an appointment. As you will see when you visit our showroom,  we have a comprehensive range of flooring products that really will suite everyone needs. We can help you choose the perfect floor for your home. We will also make you a cup of tea or coffee while you contemplate which product will best suite your home.

Fantastic service. David gave me great advice on which flooring would be most suitable for my business premises. Within the week Steven came to fit the flooring and, as promised, was in and out in a day. Can’t recommend this local Company enough. Anna Smylie ZuZu Giffnock.

We recently purchased engineered oak flooring and carpets from First Floors. The customer service from David and team was exceptional. We had just moved home from overseas and bought a house with no floors so we did not have access to allow First Floors to measure. Theye allowed us to use our own measurements as we wanted the floors laid ASAP once we had the keys. The floor is beautiful and laid very professionally (thanks Steven). The carpets are also lovely and exactly what I wanted. The only thing I would change about the experience would be to have First Floors assess the house in advance. We have fire doors which were a problem the day the carpets were laid. This was not the issue of First Floors and it was resolved quickly. Thanks again David, we would highly recommend First Floors to anyone.

Another Great Job Done!!
Just had our third floor project in seven years completed by First Floors once again.
Great service from David and his showroom team from assisting in the selection of materials through to arranging the installation. Chris and his team worked tidily and efficiently on the hardwood flooring with great attention to detail. Gordon who fitted the stair carpet was very professional in his work and was able to resolve some problematic details to our entire satisfaction.
Would definitely recommend First Floors.
