The Healthy Choice for Children's Rooms

With the high profile of healthy environments these days and the changing nature of family needs as children grow, parents are increasingly realising the numerous benefits of having a genuine wooden floor as the ideal flooring option in children’s rooms.

These floors exude peace and tranquility with their regular graining, fine structure and harmonious shades. They create a beautiful, timeless space that can withstand even the most hectic family life.

The benefits of these genuine wooden floors can be summarised in five distinct points:

1. Warmth
In contrast to tiles or laminated floors, genuine wooden floors have a natural warmth- making it ideal for little feet practising their first steps or playtime. Tumbles and falls are also less traumatic or painful, thanks to the natural “cushioning” effect of a wooden floor.

2. Sound
The fact that genuine wooden floors absorb more sound than most other hard flooring alternatives, makes it the ideal option for bedrooms that need to cater for crying babies, noisy two year olds or teenage music.

3. Health
An important benefit for parents who are considering having wooden floors installed, is the fact that wood is healthier than carpets.
Asthmatic sufferers in particular benefit, as dust mites, fleas and other insects, often invisible to the eye, are known to be readily found in carpets and are hard to remove once they have set their domain.

4. Maintenance
Wood, like any other floor, must be kept cleaned and well maintained for a long life. However, contrary to popular belief, good quality floors are very easy to look after- once again making it the ideal solution for messy toddlers. These days, most wooden floors are pre-finished or lacquered. This means that, in most cases, cleaning shouldn’t consist of more than wiping the floor with a damp cloth.
However, in severe cases, a dilution of most household cleaners would be suitable to clean even the most stubborn stains.
These and other accessories designed to keep your genuine wooden floor in great condition are available from our showroom.

5. Adaptability
The Wooden Floor Co. imports and installs genuine wooden floors that are known for their strength, natural feel, rustic grain and exciting variations in colours and structures. For nursery rooms we have a wide selection of lighter colours, such as maple or even white-washed finish that is proving to be very popular with our customers.

In extreme cases where a wooden panel might be severely damaged, the unique Kährs wood lock system ensures that boards can be easily replaced. This feature makes the Kahrs product unique from many of their competitors who glue the wooden floors for life. Thanks to the glue-free laying technique, the boards can easily be separated and re-laid elsewhere.

With these and many other benefits, wooden floors look set to become the norm in children’s rooms of the future. With its ability to be easily incorporated into any change in room decor, installing a wooden floor is almost like investing in eternal beauty that will witness, hold and cherish your child’s fondest memories for many years to come.
