There are many San Marcos flooring options that you can choose from. When going through renovations in the home, it is highly important that you think about the floors and what you might want to use. This is not an easy choice, since so many options are available. Many will opt for hardwood flooring and one of the most versatile and durable materials that are used in this case is oak. There are many advantages to oak that you should consider.
Durability
Oak is really popular and has been used for hundreds of years in many different buildings. It is highly durable and an oak floor that is properly maintained will last for a long time. Oak is currently one of the hardest possible wood materials that can be used. Oak is able to withstand weight and also one of the biggest resistances it offers is against splitting. Even auditoriums and floor gymnasiums use oak due to this property.
Design possibilities
Many designers prefer oak hardwood flooring because it can go very well with the décor in any room. There is a huge selection of different varieties and shades that are possible and the coloring possibilities are infinite. To make it even better, there are many different finishes that can be used too, so that the result will look exactly as it is meant to for a very long time. The color of oak San Marcos flooring can be maintained for a much longer period of time when compared with most other hardwoods. The only problem that can cause discoloration would be a constant exposure to sunlight.
Cleaning oak floors
Oak San Marcos flooring is really easy to clean. All that you need to do is use a dry mop, sweep or vacuum. This will remove dirt, debris, dust and even allergens. It is recommended to add doormats to exterior sides so that the dirt on the floor is minimized. In the event that stains occur, it is highly important that they are removed as quickly as possible. This can be a problem and if there is a need for in-depth cleaning, professional hardwood cleaners should be utilized.
How to prevent the appearance of scratches
Most hardwoods, including oak, have problems with scratching when faced with impact from sharp objects like furniture legs or wheels. If you want to make sure that the oak floor will not be scratched, there is a need to take some measures into account. Rugs should be placed in areas with high traffic and pet claws should be trimmed. Wait until you reach the door and then put on cleats and heeled shoes. Furniture protection is required under chair legs and tables.
Keep in mind that even if you do all that you can, refinishing might still be needed at times. In this case, professional refinishing is important as it will basically strip away the layers that are damaged and the addition of a new, proper finish will make the scratches disappear. It is recommended that a professional undertake this process due to the fact that the quality of the result will be much better.
