Our Wooden Floors Are Even Better In Winter

Our engineered wooden floors are beautiful all year round. But in winter, the practical advantages they bring to a home or business are really highlighted. Here are just a few of the significant benefits of wooden floors in the cooler months.

• Easy to clean. In winter, when it’s wet and muddy outside, it can be difficult to keep the floors clean. You may have mats at the doors but kids will be kids and will run inside without giving a second thought to wiping their shoes on the mat or taking them off at the door. Imagine the mess these wet and muddy shoes can make on a carpeted flooring surface? And how much dirt is trampled into that carpet over the course of a winter? In a commercial setting, it can be just as hard to keep carpeted floors clean when customers come in with wet and muddy footwear. On the other hand, engineered wooden flooring is a breeze to clean when required, and with no fibres to trap dirt, they are much more hygienic.
• Hypoallergenic. Our wooden floors are hypoallergenic, which means they won’t cause allergic reactions. This is important all year round but especially in winter when houses are closed up against the cold and natural ventilation is reduced, not to mention that more people are sharing the same space, and breathing in the same air.
• Pet friendly. Pets spend more time indoors in winter, especially cats and dogs. The trouble is, fleas, mites and flakes of dead skin are shed by them when they are staying warm and cosy indoors. These minute particles can become trapped within a carpeted floor surface and trigger allergies, hay fever and asthma, particularly in youngsters. With an engineered wooden floor, this isn’t a problem as particles sit on the surface of the floor and are easily swept or vacuumed up, and disposed of. Not to mention all the mud and dirt your pets bring inside with them!
• Durable. Our engineered wooden floors are the ultimate in strength and durability. That is always beneficial but especially in winter when there is an increase in internal foot traffic, and people are wearing heavier footwear that can do serious damage to weaker surfaces.

We love our beautiful floors year-round, and so do all of our residential and commercial customers. But in winter, they really do shine and show off their strengths – in every sense of the word!
