UV oil is a unique way of emphasizing the rich colors of natural wood, containing primarily cold pressed vegetable oils and aromatic hardening oils, penetrate into the surface of the wood floor and, as they cure, harden to form a very protective surface that becomes part of the wood floor. This means that normal wear and tear, such as small scratches and indentations, do not show up as much as on a floor with a urethane finish. The oil finish will also let the wood floor breathe through its surface, not just along its edges.

UV oiled floors are different from natural oiled floors as they are cured using UV lights, protecting the wood from natural sunlight. This is a popular choice with prefinished floors as the manufacturer can apply a factory finish quickly and the end user can have a floor that requires no additional oiling after installation.

Your hardwood floor is a major investment that can add value to the look and feel of a home. If they are cared for and maintained well, they can last for a very long time. No matter what type of hardwood floors you have, proper care and maintenance is absolutely essential to keep hardwood floors looking its best. Here are simple tips and guidelines to follow that will help maintain the finish and the natural beauty of your hardwood floors:

  •   The best way to remove loose, coarse dirt (e.g. dust and sand particles) is the regular use of a soft brush, Dust Mop or vacuum cleaner.

  •   A good-quality doormat placed at the entrance to the room will retain dust and grit.

  •   Your wood needs the right environment: ideally, a room temperature between 60 and 80

    degrees and around 35-55% relative air humidity. Exceeding these limits may cause your floor

    to expand and contract unexpectedly and cause such things as gaps appearing in your floor.

  •   Wipe up any water or other liquids spillages immediately.

  •   Stick felt pads under the legs of all furniture.

  •   Lift and avoid dragging when moving the furniture.

  •   Trim pets’ claws to keep your best friend from scratching the floors.

  •   Regularly vacuum or dust mop your floor to prevent sand or abrasive dust buildup that can

    scratch the floor finish.

  •   Do not use ammonia or oil-based wax, polish, household dust treatment chemicals, abrasive

    cleaners, furniture cleaners.

  •   Do not wet mop the floor, as excess moisture may cause damage to your wood floor.
