Timber flooring offers several advantages over other flooring materials, making it a popular choice for homes and businesses. It is highly durable and, when properly maintained, can last for decades, outperforming carpets and some types of vinyl. Unlike tiles, timber floors provide a warmer and more comfortable underfoot feel, making them ideal for bedrooms and living areas. Additionally, timber is an eco-friendly option, as many flooring products are sourced from sustainable plantations and can be recycled or repurposed at the end of their lifespan.

Proper maintenance is essential to preserve the beauty and longevity of timber flooring. Regular sweeping or vacuuming prevents dirt and debris from scratching the surface, while microfibre mops and pH-neutral wood cleaners help maintain the finish without causing damage. It’s important to avoid excessive moisture, as standing water can cause timber to warp or swell over time. Placing rugs in high-traffic areas and using furniture pads can also protect the surface from dents and scratches, ensuring your floors stay in top condition for years.

Not all timber floors require sanding and polishing, but these processes are essential for older or heavily worn floors. Sanding removes surface imperfections, scratches, and uneven wear, while polishing restores the protective finish, enhancing durability and appearance. Hardwood floors typically require refinishing every 7-10 years, depending on foot traffic and exposure to sunlight. However, engineered timber flooring with a thin veneer may have limited refinishing potential, so it’s essential to consult a professional before proceeding with sanding and polishing.
