Solid wood flooring is a lifetime partner, sympathetic, natural, tasteful, authentic, aesthetic, stress able, elegant, constant and urban.  In short a dream partner for a permanent relationship.  A clear case for solid wood flooring!  It is a perfect match for your home.  A floor for generations that leaves nothing to be desired in terms of stable value.

 

It becomes more attractive as years go by.  The solid planks have an extremely positive effect on room climate and are appealing with their lively look.  Installing a solid  wood floor is almost like investing in eternal beauty.  Wood cant be produced artificially.  It demands centuries of growth and deserves to be chosen with care.

 

Often the choice of solid wood flooring can be too great, it comes in different species and colours as well as finishes; lacquer, wax, oil in natural, stained, plank or grooved.  The best solid wood flooring does not alter the raw material, wood, but lets nature take the lead.  Each individual log is accessed and its natural shape and pattern used to create beautiful one, two and three strip floors all with their own characteristics and individuality. Every board is unique.  They are sorted to offer wood in different styles, rustic, peaceful and regularly harmonious or style and manufactured looking.

 

The manufacturing process is long and specialised.  The tree first has to grow.  The wood is then harvested and dried for weeks before cutting into strips lengthways or widthways depending on the type of flooring to be made, for example a longer, wider  plank needs to be taken from a long piece of the trunk and in the middle.  The stave pattern, a shorter plank, is from the sides.  The whole log is used and the outer  section and bark is used for energy, i.e. the furnaces that are used. 

 

 You should always buy solid wood flooring from a reputable supplier like iloveflooring.co.uk as we make sure our  products meet the sustainable source requirements and is kiln dried properly over a long period of time.  So next time you decide on your floor, remember cheap is not always best it is after all going to last you a lifetime if you want it to.

 

As your solid wood floor is manufactured from natural raw material their colour tones mature when exposed to light and therefore get better with age, like a good wine.
