Reduce your energy bills

Why Use Walnut Wood Flooring?

The majority will probably select oak without too much debate, but a few will consider the rarer and more exotic sultry beauty of modern walnut wood flooring. Black American walnut is rather less common than oak, although don’t worry the wood is sourced sustainably, but this scarcity makes it rather more of an investment than oak and, as such, you will want to have good reason to select it. So let’s look at some of the benefits of Black Walnut Wood Flooring.
Why Use Walnut wood flooring, What Makes It Special

Teak Wood Flooring (Pros and Cons & Popular Styles)
Teak as a building material has been in use as early as the 7th century. Shipwrights favored the wood for its moisture resistance and its proclivity to keep decay and insects at bay. Some old naval ships from the last couple of centuries still float today due to their teak composition
For its hardy properties, teak wood flooring ;can be used for outdoor decks and terraces. Some outdoor furniture is made from teak as well. As a flooring material, it has a color that ranges from a pale yellowish hue to a richer, dark beige hue. Aged teak hardwood flooring tends to get to an even yellowish brown with dark streaks here and there. When it comes to the grain, the texture is fairly random, with some being straight and others not so.
In using teak hardwood flooring, be mindful of its limitations. Never utilize teak hardwood flooring, or any wood flooring for that matter, in rooms with standing water, excessive humidity, or plenty of moisture. For that reason, teak hardwood flooring should never be used on levels below the natural grade line. Moisture tends to seep in through the soil underground and could cause the teak to decay prematurely. Also, UV radiation, from the sun, for example, causes teak hardwood to get discoloration. As such, be sure to use blinds when the daylight outside is too harsh.
Maintaining teak hardwood is relatively simple. Regular mopping and vacuuming should be sufficient enough for starters. Try to also use warm water weekly or every other week to keep the floors relatively clean. As with any wood flooring, teak hardwood will require occasional waxing for it to keep its sheen. Be sure to take out any dirt or dust from the surface of the flooring before applying the coats of oil.
In general, teak wood is considered a sustainable, eco-friendly building material. This can help with the overall “greenness” of a building and can have a significantly smaller carbon footprint than other flooring materials. ;

Clean grade surface, fewer knots, uniform color variation, and more beautiful texture, and grains, make Russian oak irreplaceable in the flooring market. At the same time, consumers in some areas have a traditional buying tendency towards high-grade Russian oak.
