Nothing beats the presence of timber in our living spaces, and wooden floorings are stunning additions that provide a direct connection to nature.
As an environment-friendly and durable material, timber floorings have never gone out of style. The benefits of timber floorings which are available in the form of solid timber flooring and engineered timber flooring are:
• Long-lasting: Hardwood floors that are well manufactured and maintained can last for generations. As they are hard-wearing, they can withstand heavy foot traffic and active work areas, providing greater resistance to indentation and abrasion.
• Easy to maintain: Timber floors are better than carpets: the latter can harbour parasites, allergens (dust mites and fleas) and dust. Wood does not retain stains or odours and can be cleaned just by sweeping or mopping.
• Insulating: Wooden flooring insulates against excessive heat, which help keep floors cool.
