You may think that children and hardwood flooring is not a good mix. For parents with you children, choosing the right type of flooring can seem more pressured. Why?

Hardwood flooring offers a great solution due to its warmth, character, simple care and durability. It offers a practical option but also looks incredibly beautiful. Hardwood floors are extremely hard-wearing and with the correct care will last a lifetime.
Is hardwood flooring safe?
Some individuals worry that if their child fell that they would hurt themselves more on a wooden floor. Wood is a natural shock absorber, especially when installed with a high-quality underlay. It offers anti-slip qualities in comparison to some other types of flooring, which often offers parents some reassurance. No fall for a child is nice, however, your child will not be hurt anymore than they would with other types of floors.
Advice with spillages
We all know that children can have accidents. Drinks get spilled and food gets dropped. Anything left on the surface of your floor will cause a stubborn stain. The best thing you can do is ensure your wood floors finish is reapplied regularly. This will provide the hardwood floor with a resistance against liquid spillages and stains. The best advice is to clean up a spill as soon as you come across it.
Damage to hardwood floors
If your child drops a toy on your wood floor it is possible that it will create a dent or scratch. Generally, hardwood flooring is really durable against such issues. However, as with any floor, damage can be caused with large or heavy items. Rest assured that you can request the help of a professional sanding and restoration specialist who will transform your wood floors to like new. Get in touch by calling 0800 852 7188 today.
