Wood flooring brings a natural look to any room. It is also more durable, low-maintenance, and long-lasting. However, some woods are not ideal for a humid bathroom environment. But many will thrive in that setting. Walnut, teak, maple, oak, ash, cedar, and cherry are more suitable to install in your remodeled bathroom.
Luxury Bath by Innovative Restorations can remodel your bathroom with wood floors and bring a natural look. We have been providing bathroom remodeling services in Alcoa, Maryville, Cookeville, and Oak Ridge areas since 2009.
Advantages of Wood Flooring in Your Bathroom
The relationship between wood floors and water should always be monitored closely. When the two are combined, the look can be breathtaking and provide advantages that include:
Looks
If the other rooms in your home feature wooden floors, a bathroom with tile or other materials will not complement the overall look. On the other hand, a bathroom with wood floors will present the upgraded appearance and natural look that your house needs.
Durability
Wooden floors can be durable and will last decades if properly maintained. Even if it gets scratched, sanding and refinishing can recover its beauty & durability.
Warmth During the Winter
Not like other surfaces, wood floors can bring warmth during the winter season. Coloring the wood floor earth-like can also bring a natural feeling during snowfall.
Tips for Preserving Your Bathroom Wood Flooring
The following tips are to protect the wood flooring in your bathroom by keeping moisture away from the floor and preventing water from seeping through the subfloor.
Surrounds
Beautiful bathtub and shower surrounds protect your wood floor from the unwanted impact of standing water. Installing them will allow you to introduce a wood floor into a bathroom setting. Sealing each surround is important because water can seep through and damage the subfloor.
Routine Maintenance
Test the finish by spilling a small amount of water on the floor. If the water forms small beads, the finish is fine. Simply wipe off the spilled water.
If the water does not form beads and soaks into the wood floor, then the finish is not good. Please reapply the finish coating. Specially look into the cracks of the wood floor.
Bath Mats
Bath mats can hold water against the floor. Good bath mats have a rubber backing to hold the moisture in them and away from the wood flooring. But if the mats become saturated, air dry them so that they can function again.
Prevent Leaks
Leaking water can destroy your wood floors. Fixing minor to major plumbing issues like leaky faucets & fixtures is of utmost importance. Keep your eyes and ears open to find out any kind of water leak.
