3 Facts about Exotic Wood Flooring Every Homeowner Should Know Before Installation

3 Facts about Exotic Wood Flooring Every Homeowner Should Know Before Installation

Exotic wood flooring products are among the most popular choices for architects, homeowners and property owners because of their durability, beauty and versatility.  Of course, interested individuals may initially be deterred by the costs associated with the installation and maintenance of exotic hardwood flooring products. But when a simple cost-and-benefit analysis is done, the benefits outweigh the costs – and so the decision to install imported hardwood flooring is made. Among the popular choices in exotic wood flooring are Brazilian Cherry, Santos Mahogany, and dark Brazilian Walnut, among others. But before you purchase and install these flooring products, here are three things that you must know. #1 Lighter to Darker Tones Exotic wood flooring will naturally become darker and richer in their grains and colors when exposed to light, either of natural sunlight or artificial light or both.  Keep in mind that the natural darkening should not be a cause for concern because the durability, stability and strength of the exotic wood flooring will remain unaffected. In many ways, these three qualities are the most important aspects of exotic wood flooring because you want to get the best value for your money – and you can enjoy it the most when your home’s floor lasts for generations to come. If you see exotic wood flooring on display with darker colors than the box of exotic wood flooring delivered to your doorstep, the former must have been exposed to air for at least 3 months. Your new exotic wood flooring will also darken in the coming months. #2 Wide Variations of Colors Due to the innate differences in trees, the...
Waxing Old Hardwood Floors

Waxing Old Hardwood Floors

Engineered hardwood floors are now a common flooring alternative due to its stability and the ability to be sanded down several times like solid wood floors. Manufactured with multiple layers of plywood or a sandwich of softwood and hardwood base with real hardwood on top, engineered hard wood floors is renowned to virtually withstand various levels of humidity without swelling or shrinking, making it an ideal flooring type to be installed on radiant sub-floors. These floors can come prefinished or not, which gives the homeowners or installers a choice for faster, no hustle and bustle installation. Unless your wood floor has been refinished at least twice before, waxing engineered hardwood floors is not the best method to maintain its luster. Take note that waxing old hardwood floors is a big mistake when the floor has polyurethane or urethane finish. For those who still have old hardwood floors with traditional coating, here are steps on how to wax hardwood floors. Solid Paste Wax Get rid of dust and tracked in dirt by sweeping the floor or vacuuming. Using a damped rag, apply a restoring finish on the floor to bring out the color of the hardwood floor and to help restore some of its beauty. Damping the rag prevents it from absorbing much wax. Start applying the restoring finish from a corner, working your way out. Let it sit and dry for an hour to be thoroughly dried. Dip another rag or old shirt in paste wax. Apply the wax evenly in a light layer. Doing so prevents just piling up a chunk of wax on the floor. Focus on...

These are antique reproductions of hard wax-oiled wide plank and engineered hardwood floors, which were developed in Holland. These floors are designed to re-create the time-worn yet beautifully elegant true antique floors, which are characterized by their unparalleled character and longevity. But Duchateau floors require proper maintenance measures to preserve their durability, longevity and beauty for generations to come. Keep in mind that the hard wax oil applied on its surface can gradually be stripped away over time so its beauty fades, too. This can be prevented by applying the following regular maintenance measures. Use the right cleaning product You should never ever use alcohol-based cleaning products on DuChateau floors because these will strip away the hard wax oil; alcohol is a drying agent that breaks down the oils and waxes on the floor. You should always use the DuChateau Premium Floor Cleaner & Protectant as it is the only approved floor cleaning product for Duchateau floors. Daily cleaning You must also avoid using a vacuum cleaner with a beater brush as it can damage (i.e., scratch) the DuChateau floors. While the scratches may be unnoticeable at first, over time the scratches will become visible until the beauty of the DuChateau floors is compromised.  Instead, you can use a vacuum cleaner with a hardwood floor attachment for daily cleaning of the DuCchateau floors or a manual sweep. Weekly or bi-weekly cleaning Every week or every other week, you can conduct a deeper cleaning of your DuChateau floors. Again, the...
