Looking After Oak Solid Wood Flooring

9th August 2013

Have you recently had oak solid wood flooring installed?

If so it’s important to make sure you look after your oak solid wood flooring properly to ensure it stays looking beautiful. If you have invested in a brand new wooden floor like oak, then to keep it at its best there are a few recommendations you should follow. First try not to over soak your wooden floor. The liquid will seep in and cause the floor to expand. Any spillages should be mopped up as quickly as possible. A light dusting or quick hoover will keep your floor in tip top shape. It’s important if you have oak solid wood flooring, to ensure that you don’t drag furniture, or wear stilettos in the house or it will mark. We also find that people with pets need to ensure their nails are cut regularly to avoid scratches, and it’s imperative you have doormats as grit can be walked into the house and damage the surface. If you take these precautions your floor won’t mark as heavily. If you are using a wood cleaner make sure you spray it onto each part and wipe away. Remember that a wood floor has a very hard surface and unlike a carpet it will not absorb the odours and dust. That is why a quick brush or hoover will keep your floor beautifully clean. It’s low maintenance, and such a healthy, organic and natural product to have in your house. We have various cleaning products so visit our showroom for more information on these. If you love carpets but love the benefits of a real wood floor then why not invest in a gorgeous rug giving you the best of both worlds? A laminated floor will also give you these great benefits, although of course it is not a natural product as such. If you want to to give us a call on 0141 638 0968 we will be more that pleased to talk you through any queries you have or to arrange an appointment. If you visit our showroom, please take your take your time looking through our fabulous range of real wood floors and laminates. Once you have chosen the samples that you are happy with, we will arrange a home visit where you can see these samples in the comfort of your house.

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.
