Exotic Wood Floors
Exotic wood floors have charm and durability that cannot be paralleled by ordinary wood floors. Despite being more expensive, many people still buy exotic wood floor because in the long run, it can turn out to be more cost effective.
Exotic wood floors come in different variety of sizes, colors, hardness and grains. They can be made to fit any house styles – from ultra sleek contemporary to rustic country. Many companies can custom make exotic wood to the specification of the floor design.
Many exotic wood floors are made from Amarettowood, Blackwood, Brazilian Chestnut, Goncalo Alves, Kambala, Ivory maple, Mahogany, Merbau, Paraju, Sapele, Teakwood, Zebrawood. These can be easily available in many local wood shops. Just make sure that you are purchasing exotic wood floors from conscientious companies which adhere to strict standards and conservation and sustainable tree harvesting policies.
It is very easy to clean and maintain exotic wood floors. Sweeping and vacuuming regularly can ensure that grit won’t damage the surface. Careful use of vacuum brush must be taken also to prevent surface damage. Oils, soaps and other cleaning products that contain lemon or tung oil, ammonia and silicon should also be avoided. There are many exotic wood floor friendly cleaning products that can be bought in groceries and supermarkets. Also, if possible, place protected pads under the legs of furniture and don’t bring in spiked shoes or shoes with damaged heels to prevent scratching the exotic wood floor surface.
When these simple care instructions are followed carefully, the exotic wood floor should last more than a lifetime while its elegance, shine and style maintained like when it was first installed.
