Welcome to the alternative site of Wood You Like Ltd - this site will act as default when our main site is - for what ever reason - offline. Here you'll also find our online shop for everything your wooden floor needs to be healthy and beautiful for the longest time. Thanks again for visiting! To be honest, more often than not we tell them it would be a shame to change the wonderful natural colour of the wood-species. Once we inform them of the nowaday prices of tropical wood floors most are then (although some reluctantly) changing their minds.
I hope you can help us. We had an Oak floor installed which was finished with UV-oil. Now with all the sunny weather of the recent weeks, the part of floor that gets the sun all afternoon long is still changing colour! How is that possible, we thought with the UV-oil the floor was protected against this? Before we had to tell every one that even a natural finish (such as Saicos Premium HardWaxOil, available in 4 sheens) would "darken" the wood to its natural characteristic. With Oak this tends to be honey - or yellow, and not the pale(r) colour you see right after sanding.
I realise the importance of leaving an expansion gap around a wooden floor (oak parquet in my case) but can you tell me why we are told to insert cork strips around the edge? Surely the cork is only taking up valuable expansion room. Is it ok to just leave a 10mm gap all around? The E-version: instant access to the exact same content as the the paperback, plus includes all colour images and drawings. This 160 page manual in plain English contains all the tricks of the trade we and other professionals use which will make your wood floor look like it was installed by a professional too.
Having natural wooden flooring installed creates not only beauty, durability and an upgrade in the value of your property; it is also means you have a floor covering that is hygienic, anti-allergic and only needs the minimum of easy maintenance. Taking care of your wooden floor enhances its beauty, durability and value. Most of our quality floors come pre-treated with a quality and hard-wearing finish. Applying a suitable maintenance product to feed the wood which enhance its character and to continiously protect it from drips and other accidental water spillages is all that's needed.
