Act quickly for festive floors
Many shoppers are beginning to panic about whether there is still time to get a brand new floor in time for Christmas when guests arrive.
Although it is just over two weeks to go there is still time to get your new floor and install it, however this depends on several factors.
The first one to consider is the delivery time promised by flooring suppliers, as long as there is not a long waiting period then your floor will be with you in plenty of time.
The second consideration is one which many people ignore or don’t realise at their peril when acclimatisation isn’t taken in to consideration.
Each type of product will have different rules about this so it is important to get advice about how long you should leave your flooring to adjust.
Whether you have a new floor for Christmas or not it is essential to be vigilant and care for any type of flooring at this time of year.
Increased foot traffic can cause damage through wear and tear so it may be wise to invest in a rug or make sure guests are spread between several rooms.
Spillages are another hazard to watch out for and any liquid spilt on any type of flooring will need to be quickly wiped up to prevent swelling in wood floors and stains.
