  • Is it hard to maintain wood floors?

    Bacteria, dust, and dirt do not implant themselves in wood flooring as they do in other flooring options. Wood floors promote a healthy indoor environment by simply maintaining regular maintenance. For instance, vacuuming, sweeping, or even dust mopping will keep your wood floors dust-free. According to our experience, you should refinish solid wood floors every four to six years. According to Bona, a floor can be sanded around 4-6 times in its entire life.

  • What are the uses of wood flooring at the end of its service?

    At the end of its lifespan, wood flooring can be repurposed in various ways, maximizing its utility and reducing waste. Old wood planks can be transformed into furniture or wall paneling, reclaimed for new construction projects, or recycled into engineered wood products. Creative upcycling can turn old flooring into decorative items, while some wood can be chipped for mulch or biomass energy production. Donating usable sections is also an option. However, it’s crucial to check for harmful chemicals or finishes before repurposing or recycling to ensure safety and environmental protection.
