OILED WOOD

An oiled wood floor has a natural texture that gives you a wonderful wood feel, but also requires a little more maintenance. In fact, about once a year, the floor must be oiled to maintain its characteristics. If it gets scratched, you can often fix it by adding a little oil. We recommend oiled wooden floors in less busy areas of the house, such as bedrooms and living rooms. In environments with heavy traffic, the floor requires more maintenance but works equally well.

LACQUERED WOOD

A lacquered wood floor has a more uniform and durable surface that requires less periodic maintenance. The lacquered surface offers hard protection that is easy to clean and requires less maintenance than an oiled floor, but is more difficult to repair if the paint becomes damaged. We generally recommend lacquered wood floors in busier areas such as kitchens, hallways, and public spaces with normal humidity levels.
