Solid wood flooring in Fulham has been the preferred choice for customers for many years. The affordability and the visual appeal imparted by wooden flooring are hard to beat by other materials such as marble, mosaic, granite, slate or sandstone. Over the years, customer preferences in terms of furniture have changed in leaps and bounds. While machine manufactured furniture sold like hot cakes a decade ago, today customers prefer bespoke furniture in Fulham because of its superior finish and quality. Wooden floors and bespoke furniture contribute immensely not only to the décor and the ambience, but also last for generations if they are maintained well.
Maintaining custom furniture and solid wood flooring in Fulham is not a time consuming task; however, neglecting them completely can prove disastrous. While bespoke furniture in Fulham should be dusted at least once a day or week depending on where they are placed, wooden flooring should at least be swept or vacuumed once a day in case no carpet is placed over it. If carpets are used, the sweeping the floor and wiping it clean with water once a week is recommended. In order to prevent stains, a soft cotton cloth should be used to clean the stains and spills as soon as they occur.
If cedar or redwood has been used for solid wood flooring in Fulham, the topmost layer needs to be well taken care of. If the flooring is exposed to intense sunlight, it is recommended that you cover that area with a carpet to prevent the wood from drying up and becoming brittle. It is also important to apply a sealant at least once a year to ensure the inherent moisture in the wood is not lost. In case of bespoke furniture in Fulham, it is important to cover the windows with curtains if the items are kept in places prone to sunlight. Applying a sealant and anti-termite polish at least once a year will prevent it from damage and retain it in its prime.
Scratches are the biggest concerns when it comes to solid wood flooring in Fulham. With pets and kids at home, it is difficult to prevent the floor from scratches. However, you can minimise the problem by trimming the nails of the pets and making sure that the kids do not drag things across the floor. Bespoke furniture in Fulham can be protected from scratches by keeping the top surface covered at all times. To make sure your dogs do not leave behind chew marks on the legs of the furniture, spray the furniture with a mildly sour spray that is effective in keeping these animals at bay.
Whether it is bespoke furniture or solid wood flooring in Fulham, it is imperative to keep them away from excessive moisture. Irrespective of the wood used, warping occurs over a period of time when exposed to moisture.
