Healthy Environment

There is more and more

information coming to light about

the potentially unhealthy effects

of carpet. Carpets are a natural

dust trap, which in turn means a

build up of dust-mite allergen as

well as pet allergen. Pet owners are all to aware of the issues

with carpets when it comes to the

attempted removal of stains and smells

left from their pets, this only adds greater

concerns how easily other unhealthy

contaminants could continue to

reside within any carpet.

www.maplesandbirch.co.uk / 0845 293 9374

Healthy Environment cont’d

Awareness is growing especially

for those with young families who

would prefer that their children do

not suffer any unnecessary health

ailments which may have been

eliminated by taking up the old

carpet and refurbishing or

refinishing the wood floors.

Refinishing can add value to your

home, while letting you and your

family feel healthier, living in a

cleaner environment.

Environmental and Cultural Sustainability

Of course apart from the health standpoint of wood floor

refinishing and the financial savings as opposed to new wood

floor, there is the environmental and sustainability issues to

consider and the impact of your carbon foot print. When you take up your old carpets and

restore the wood floor below, you are of

course recycling. With the continuing

depletion of our forests, which adds to

worldwide climate changes, refinishing

makes the most sense.

How to measure

your floor?

People are often confused as to how a room should be measured for installation of real wood

flooring, so please use this easy to follow guide on how to measure a room. These

instructions are supplied as a general guide to help you.

To eliminate doubt on room floor measurements just sketch the room and write down the

measurements as per our examples, use metric measurements when measuring it really is

that simple.

Use a tape measure and measure the room from one wall to the

opposite wall make a note of the distance). Now measure the

distance of the opposing walls to each other and make a note of

this on your sketch.

Measure both walls, the width and the length, write down the

measurements i.e.: width = 3.15 metres or 315 cm and the length

4.85metres or 485 cms. To calculate the area just multiply width x

length Area = 3.15 x 4.85 = 15.3m2.

The most common room is the rectangle, usually with one door and

perhaps 1 or 2 windows, this shape accounts for nearly all rooms in

one way or another. The two basic dimensions are the width, usually the shorter of the walls,

and the length. When measuring it is easy to make a mistake, and when calculating an area

this mistake is compounded. So always remember Measure Twice.

When measuring the room, if it is an unusual shape with for example bay windows the overall

room flooring area measurements must still be taken. But do take the measurements of the

irregular shape i.e. the bay window from the widest points of the width and length.

www.maplesandbirch.co.uk

Standard Room

1. Identify the two widest areas (a =width b = length)

2. Measure and note between the two identified areas

3. Multiply the two sizes 4.35 x 5.25 = 22.83m2

4 Total meterage required = 22.83m2

L Shaped Room

1. Divide room into two rectangular sections

2. Take the four sizes and multiply as below

3. 2.33 x 5.25 = 12.23m2 and 1.75 x 4.25 = 7.43m2

4. Add the two sizes together

5. 12.23 + 7.43 = 19.76m2

6. Total metres required 19.76m2

Complex Shaped Room/Hallway

1. Divide room into three rectangular sections

2. Take all sizes and multiply them as below...

3. 1.10 x 1.75 = 1.925m2

4. 1.10 x 1.75 = 1.925m2

5. 5.00 x 1.00 = 5.00m2

6. Add the three sizes together

7. 1.925 + 1.925 + 5.00 = 8.85m2

6. Total metres required 8.85m2

NOTE: Don’t forget to allow an additional 5-10% for wastage

Oil Maintenance

Failure to care for any oiled or hard-waxed wood floor on

a regular basis can prove to be costly and as such end

with a big for floor refurbishment/renovation.

Floor Cleaning

As with oiled floors it is just as imperative to care for

lacquered finished wood floors and laminate wood floors

and to do so is easy but only with the use of the right

cleaning products. Most care products available from your

average supermarket tend to contain waxes and

chemicals that could damage the lacquer or finish.

Wax Oils

WFA carry the widest range of Hardwax Oils Oil finishes

which provides a ‘comfortable’, natural looking surface

through a blend of hardening natural oils and waxes. It

makes the surface water and dirt repellent and is

designed for the surface treatment of untreated hardwood

and other types of wooden floors exposed to normal or

heavy wear.

Lacquers & Seals

Lacquers and Floor Seal for wood floors enhances the

natural wood grain while protecting against dirt and

moisture ingress and can be used on most types of wood

floors. By focusing on quality WFA only offer branded

Lacquer and Seal.

www.woodenflooraccessories.co.uk

Proper use of vacuuming, sweeping, and damp mopping is usually all that is required to

maintain the cleanliness and appearance of a wood floor.

Oil soaps should not be used to clean the floors, the best suggestion is to use the

manufacturers recommended cleaning products.

Like all floors, excessive grit and foot traffic will affect appearance. Unlike carpet or rugs, a

properly finished wood floor, does not accumulate hidden soil or odorous compounds

We have the widest range of wood floor accessories through our exclusive partnership with

'Wooden Floor Accessories' who offer the widest range of quality wood flooring cleaning

and maintenance accessories from leading suppliers and branded manufacturers.
