Tips to Find Wood Flooring in all Areas of the UK

Posted by willowsonflooring on December 24th, 2012

Choosing the ideal hard wood flooring solution for your home no matter where you live in the UK can be a bit of a challenge. Wood floors tend to react differently in certain environments where there is a lot of humidity or not a lot of humidity. The same can be said if there is a drastic difference in temperature from the daytime to the evening time. What we hope to do here is help you decide between the different types of solid wood flooring that are available and figure out what type of impact the weather would have on the durability and appearance of the floors for years to come.

A lot of older, traditional homes here in the UK and throughout Europe have had wooden floors installed in them hundreds of years ago and they were able to stand the test of time. But what if you are looking to build a new home or you are looking to update or change the style in your current home? Selecting the highest quality wood floor for your home should be the most important decision you make. For this reason we will go over some different types of wood available for you to choose from, different types of sealants to use to help protect the floors beauty and condition, and what types of floors work best in humid or dry conditions.

Wood Type

Different woods have different density to them so selecting an ideal wood for your home’s needs here in the UK probably would consist of either oak flooring or walnut flooring.

Sealant for Floors

Sealing hardwood floors is important, no matter what type of climate you live in. Sealing your wood floors means that you will get better wear on them and they will continue to look good for many years to come with a level of protection that goes beyond the value of the money it will cost to get the process done.

Issues with Humidity

If you have properly sealed your wood floors, humidity should not be an issue, but if you haven’t or you are considering a cheaper alternative like laminate flooring or vinyl plank flooring you may want to reconsider your options because investing in a cheaper alternative now may be costly in the long run.
