You just installed hardwood flooring. Now what? You’ll want to protect your investment.
High-traffic areas will wear faster. One easy solution to reduce wear and tear is adding rugs. Place them under kitchen tables and living room furniture to lessen the effects of abuse. Rugs can act as a buffer, protecting the finish and wood to help prevent scratches and dents
Don’t forget entrance ways. Placing walk-off mats just outside can be a floor saver. Also place rugs inside to catch any dirt and debris. When choosing an area rug, be sure the material allows the floor to breathe. Last, don’t forget to shake off the rugs from time to time to remove the dirt and allergens.
Follow these precautions, and you’ll enjoy your hardwood for years to come.
