2009-07-11T19:39:00.000-07:00

By following a few simple tips, you'll be able to enjoy your hardwood floors for a lifetime.

Door mats

Place mats or rugs in front of doors, and make sure your visitors wipe their shoes off, or even better, takes their shoes off and walks around in socks. Dirt can be ground into the floor and ruin the finish.

Furniture

Never drag furniture over a hardwood floor. Lift the furniture - carry it to the spot you want it placed, and set it down. If the furniture is heavy - place felt contacts under the legs so that the furniture can be moved easily, but with no danger of scratching the wood.

Spills

Even if wood is treated to repel water, its always a good idea to wipe up spills immediately. Water can seep between the planks and cause damage.

The sun

Just as the sun can fade the upholstery on your furniture, it can fade your wood floors. So always keep your drapes drawn, or have the types of windows that can block out UV rays.

Cleaning

Don't use oil soaps. They build up and yellow the floor. Use neutral pH cleaners made specifically for wood floors.

Humidity

Your wooden floors expand and contract with the hear, and the amount of moisture in the air. It 's a natural cycle, so don't worry if you suddenly see small gaps between floorboards. A room with a properly controlled temperature and humidity can prevent this from happening altogether.

Unfinished vs Pre-finished Hardwood Floors by Prime Hardwood Floors Los Angeles

2009-07-03T00:03:00.000-07:00

Deciding between unfinished hardwood floor or pre-finished hardwood floor can be difficult. To help you decide which type of wood flooring is right for your home, here some helpful information.

Unfinished hardwood

Unfinished floors are delivered raw and finished on site.
Unfinished floors give the homeowner an opportunity to choose from the greatest range of colors, stains and finishes, which contribute to the personalization of a solid floor.
Unfinished wood flooring is available in more widths and wood species than pre-finished wood flooring. Unfinished wood flooring can also be matched most easily to existing wood floors.

An unfinished hardwood flooring allows for distressing and aging techniques to historical flooring. An unfinished hardwood flooring is easier to stain and match with an existing floor.

Pre-Finished solid hardwood floors:
Most hardwood flooring is installed pre-finished, with several coats of protective surface finish already factory applied. Because sanding and finishing are not required, a pre-finished floor is completed relatively quickly without the dust, noise and fumes that can accompany the on-site finishing process. Learn more.

2009-07-02T22:41:00.000-07:00

If you're in the process of building a new home or remodeling your old home, you'll want to consider a variety of wood choices. Not every wood is a suitable choice for every home - just like a granite counter-top is not right for every single kitchen. You'll want to look at the hardness, color variations, durability, and ability to handle moisture and humidity for your climate.

Solid Wood Flooring
Solid wood flooring comes in three main types. Each type is available in both an unfinished and a pre-finished version.
Refer to our page Unfinished vs Pre-finished to learn more.

* Parquet flooring -
They are made up of geometrical patterns composed of individual wood slats held in place by mechanical fastening or an adhesive. Parquet floors have a very different look from typical hardwoods.
