Healthy Environment
There is more and more
information coming to light about
the potentially unhealthy effects
of carpet. Carpets are a natural
dust trap, which in turn means a
build up of dust-mite allergen as
well as pet allergen. Pet owners are all to aware of the issues
with carpets when it comes to the
attempted removal of stains and smells
left from their pets, this only adds greater
concerns how easily other unhealthy
contaminants could continue to
reside within any carpet.

Healthy Environment cont’d
Awareness is growing especially
for those with young families who
would prefer that their children do
not suffer any unnecessary health
ailments which may have been
eliminated by taking up the old
carpet and refurbishing or
refinishing the wood floors.
Refinishing can add value to your
home, while letting you and your
family feel healthier, living in a
cleaner environment.
Environmental and Cultural Sustainability
Of course apart from the health standpoint of wood floor
refinishing and the financial savings as opposed to new wood
floor, there is the environmental and sustainability issues to
consider and the impact of your carbon foot print. When you take up your old carpets and
restore the wood floor below, you are of
course recycling. With the continuing
depletion of our forests, which adds to
worldwide climate changes, refinishing
makes the most sense.

How to measure
your floor?
People are often confused as to how a room should be measured for installation of real wood
flooring, so please use this easy to follow guide on how to measure a room. These
instructions are supplied as a general guide to help you.
To eliminate doubt on room floor measurements just sketch the room and write down the
measurements as per our examples, use metric measurements when measuring it really is
that simple.
Use a tape measure and measure the room from one wall to the
opposite wall make a note of the distance). Now measure the
distance of the opposing walls to each other and make a note of
this on your sketch.
Measure both walls, the width and the length, write down the
measurements i.e.: width = 3.15 metres or 315 cm and the length
4.85metres or 485 cms. To calculate the area just multiply width x
length Area = 3.15 x 4.85 = 15.3m2.
The most common room is the rectangle, usually with one door and
perhaps 1 or 2 windows, this shape accounts for nearly all rooms in
one way or another. The two basic dimensions are the width, usually the shorter of the walls,
and the length. When measuring it is easy to make a mistake, and when calculating an area
this mistake is compounded. So always remember Measure Twice.
When measuring the room, if it is an unusual shape with for example bay windows the overall
room flooring area measurements must still be taken. But do take the measurements of the
irregular shape i.e. the bay window from the widest points of the width and length.
www.maplesandbirch.co.uk
Standard Room
1. Identify the two widest areas (a =width b = length)
2. Measure and note between the two identified areas
3. Multiply the two sizes 4.35 x 5.25 = 22.83m2
4 Total meterage required = 22.83m2
L Shaped Room
1. Divide room into two rectangular sections
2. Take the four sizes and multiply as below
3. 2.33 x 5.25 = 12.23m2 and 1.75 x 4.25 = 7.43m2
4. Add the two sizes together
5. 12.23 + 7.43 = 19.76m2
6. Total metres required 19.76m2
Complex Shaped Room/Hallway
1. Divide room into three rectangular sections
2. Take all sizes and multiply them as below...
3. 1.10 x 1.75 = 1.925m2
4. 1.10 x 1.75 = 1.925m2
5. 5.00 x 1.00 = 5.00m2
6. Add the three sizes together
7. 1.925 + 1.925 + 5.00 = 8.85m2
6. Total metres required 8.85m2
NOTE: Don’t forget to allow an additional 5-10% for wastage

Oil Maintenance
Failure to care for any oiled or hard-waxed wood floor on
a regular basis can prove to be costly and as such end
with a big for floor refurbishment/renovation.
Floor Cleaning
As with oiled floors it is just as imperative to care for
lacquered finished wood floors and laminate wood floors
and to do so is easy but only with the use of the right
cleaning products. Most care products available from your
average supermarket tend to contain waxes and
chemicals that could damage the lacquer or finish.
Wax Oils
WFA carry the widest range of Hardwax Oils Oil finishes
which provides a ‘comfortable’, natural looking surface
through a blend of hardening natural oils and waxes. It
makes the surface water and dirt repellent and is
designed for the surface treatment of untreated hardwood
and other types of wooden floors exposed to normal or
heavy wear.
Lacquers & Seals
Lacquers and Floor Seal for wood floors enhances the
natural wood grain while protecting against dirt and
moisture ingress and can be used on most types of wood
floors. By focusing on quality WFA only offer branded
Lacquer and Seal.

Proper use of vacuuming, sweeping, and damp mopping is usually all that is required to
maintain the cleanliness and appearance of a wood floor.
Oil soaps should not be used to clean the floors, the best suggestion is to use the
manufacturers recommended cleaning products.
Like all floors, excessive grit and foot traffic will affect appearance. Unlike carpet or rugs, a
properly finished wood floor, does not accumulate hidden soil or odorous compounds
We have the widest range of wood floor accessories through our exclusive partnership with
'Wooden Floor Accessories' who offer the widest range of quality wood flooring cleaning
and maintenance accessories from leading suppliers and branded manufacturers.
