Hardwood floors have always been trendy. Everybody love the wood and the effect of warmth that it generates. Indeed, hardwood is timeless! It is suitable for any room, any style and it is very comfy for our feet.

The wood is also a material which has always had a reputation for great value.

Varnished hardwood floors have been popular a long time but today, pre-oiled hardwood is increasingly in demand. Many people prefer a less sophisticated decoration, more simple and more authentic…

 

2. A rusctic and natural appearance.

 

Pre-oiled hardwood has, contrary to varnished hardwood, a rustic and natural appearance that people snap up!

The oil allows the wood to keep and enhance its raw aspect while protecting it. Therefore, it doesn’t leave a glossy layer on the floor surface but penetrates inside for a deep impregnation.

Moreover, the oil highlights the wood grains and the imperfections become less visible thanks to a matte finish.

Finally, the oil allows the wood to keep its beauty longer, which will sure give character to your house.

 

 

3. Undeniable green qualities.

 

Pre-oiled hardwood is popular now also thanks to its ecologically friendly qualities.

Indeed, more and more people care about the environment. If you do too, then the preoiled hardwood floors are made for you!

A renewable resource, wood is a material which also leaves very little production waste.

Moreover, the oil, which comes from natural sources, is much more ecologically friendly than varnish. Obtained from plants, it is harmless.

With a pre-oiled hardwood floor, there will therefore have no negative effect on your home’s air quality.

 

4. A very robust floor!

 

A pre-oiled hardwood floor has generally a longer life than a varnished hardwood floor. It is thanks to a deep impregnation that the oil increases the robustness and the longevity of the hardwood. Hence, it is also more stable than a varnished hardwood and won’t warp.

Very resistant to temperature changes, the pre-oiled hardwood floor has also a good moisture and abrasion resistance, and all that thanks to the oil that enters deeply in the pores of the wood.

It also bears very well small shocks that we can make it endure by everyday.

 

 

5. A wood which breaths to adapt itself to the vagaries of its environment.

 

Wood is a material which doesn’t trap dust and therefore keeps the quality of the air healthy.

With an oiled finish, wood keeps breathing, contrary to a varnished finish which prevents wood from absorbing and restoring humidity. Because of this, pre-varnished wood risks cracking more easily than pre-oiled wood.
