Carriage House Engineered Flooring Maintenance Carriage House Solid Flooring Maintenance
Carriage House Engineered Flooring Maintenance Protection and Maintenance Lasting beauty can be achieved through purchasing a quality floor covering and providing proper ongoing maintenance. PROPERTIES Fading: Where possible, use drapes or other systems to protect your floor from excessive light. Joints: Wood floor systems expand and contract in response to fluctuations in temperature and humidity that should be maintained to a minimum by using a humidifier when necessary. PROTECTION You may protect your floor by taking the following precautions:
MAINTENANCE Sweep or vacuum the floor frequently in order to avoid build up of abrasive particles. To clean, use only cleaners specified for use on pre-finished hardwood floors available from your local retailer or home center. Mist the cleaner on a mop for hardwood floors. WET MAINTENANCE IS ENTIRELY FORBIDDEN! Apply a recommended wood floor polish once a year or when needed to eliminate fine scratches and rejuvenate the floor. Follow manufacturer directions when using any maintenance product. RECOATING THE FLOOR Failure to properly maintain the finish could result in irreparable damage. The longevity of the finish is relative to traffic intensity and quality of floor care. When the floor starts to show a traffic pattern and signs of wear it is time to renew the finish. It is the responsibility of the owner to judge when the floor needs recoating. A new coat of a recommended water based polyurethane will make the floor look new again and prolong its lifespan. The manufacture recommends that a flooring professional be employed for this process and that strict adherence to the finish manufacturer’s guidelines be observed.
