WOOD FLOORING IN THE BATHROOM

Flooring within a bathroom is as essential as any other part of your dwelling. Toilet flooring and the overall effort put into the design of a bathroom add a lot to the general ambiance of the house. The most elementary thing to consider when picking the floor of your bathroom is your moisture. While some people may believe putting a rug on a toilet floor is a great idea will gradually discover that it is really not the case. The moisture within your toilet and the carpet flooring is not a fantastic mix as carpets tend to absorb moisture that could attract bacteria.

Hardwood flooring are a better choice as compared to carpets. However, there are particular things you have to consider while choosing hardwood floors for your bathroom. The very first thing you will need to make sure is that the floor is installed perfectly with no openings whereby the moisture can trickle inside the wood.

The second most important thing is to be certain that the wood is protected. Unprotected wood will stain, warp, enlarge, and plump in the touch of almost any liquid. So so as to avoid this, you have to get the hardwood floors on your washroom finished with a finishing agent such as a polyurethane sealer which will make an invisible layer over the wood, making sure that no water has been consumed within the hardwood flooring. Special care needs to be taken to your hardwood floors interior bathrooms. The finish needs to be applied several times over the hardwood floors.

The third thing which you want to consider when choosing a hardwood floor for your bathroom is the kind of wood that you choose for the floors. There are a few species of timber that are more harmonious with the moisture requirements within the bathroom. Avoid softwoods like Fir and Pine as they have a tendency to absorb more moisture. Always consult the manufacturer on warranty for toilet applications.

The best part of hardwood floors is the fact that they come with guarantees and you can get them replaced if the material fails. However, the warranty may not cover the whole area of a bathroom since it's a water heavy environment, but some guarantees do cover half of the areas of the bathroom which aren't as prone to becoming entangled with water like a half bath or powder room.

Hardwood flooring is best to give your bathroom a grand appearance. You can opt for the mixture of flooring within your bathroom, enjoying the charm of timber in the areas that do not come in contact with water while using another material for flooring where there is more moisture such as the shower area.

Do you know?
Heating wood can make it more durable. The ancient Britons knew when building their timber palisade enclosures to put the pointed end of each timber into the fire to char before banging them into the ground to make a long lasting defence. The charring and heating of wood makes it less likely to rot. The modern day equivalent are innovative products like Brimstone, a thermally modified British hardwood that is more durable and used for long lasting exterior cladding on buildings.

SOFTWOODS top 3 !


PINE: Pine is a softwood which grows in most areas of the Northern Hemisphere. There are more than 100 species worldwide.
Properties: Pine is a soft, white or pale yellow wood which is light weight, straight grained and lacks figure.It resists shrinking and swelling. Knotty pine is often used for decorative effect.
Uses: Pine is often used for country or provincial furniture. Pickled, whitened, painted and oil finishes are often used on this wood.

ASH: There are 16 species of ash which grow in the eastern United States. Of these, the white ash is the largest and most commercially important.
Properties: Ash is a hard, heavy, ring porous hardwood. It has a prominent grain that resembles oak, and a white to light brown color. Ash can be differentiated from hickory (pecan) which it also resembles, by white dots in the darker summerwood which can be seen with the naked eye. Ash burls have a twisted, interwoven figure.

Uses: Ash is widely used for structural frames and steam bent furniture pieces. It is often less expensive than comparable hardwoods.

HICKORY: There are 15 species of hickory in the eastern United States, eight of which are commercially important.
Properties: Hickory is one of the heaviest and hardest woods available. Pecan is a species of hickory sometimes used in furniture. It has a close grain without much figure.
Uses: Wood from the hickory is used for structural parts, especially where strength and thinness are required. Decorative hickory veneers are also commonly used.

TOP 5 HARDEST WOODS:

1. Quebracho - From the Spanish “quebrar hacha,” which literally means 

“axe breaker.” Aptly named, wood in the Schinopsis genus is among the 

heaviest and hardest in the world.

2. Lignum Vitae -Widely accepted as the hardest wood in the world–this 

wood has been listed as an endangered species and is listed in CITES.

Consider Verawood as a very close substitute.

3. Gidgee - This Australian endemic is both very heavy and very strong.

Some pieces are dark enough to be used as an ebony substitute: one that’s 

even harder than the original article.

4. Snakewood - It’s easy to see what makes Snakewood so unique–its patterns 

and markings resemble the skin of a snake. Limited supply and high demand 

make this one of the most expensive woods on eart.

5. Verawood - Sometimes called Argentine Lignum Vitae, this wood is a gem:

inexpensive, great olive-green color, beautiful feathery grain pattern, and 

it takes a great natural polish on the lathe.

Forests and woodland in Britain contribute to our health and well-being. Construction materials that
contribute to health and well-being when they are forming are rare. Through access to forests by dog walkers,horse riders, runners, cyclists and more forests and woodlands in Britain are the green gyms of our country as well as contributing a wider £500 m. to the local rural economy every year.

Woodworking is a most satisfying pastime, so varied and multifaceted you will never complete the twin processes you have undertaken: acquiring tools and learning how to use them. You have begun a lifetime pursuit.

Wood can make you feel well

Wood can make you feel well. Going for a walk in the woods is highly therapeutic. The Japanese medical profession has been prescribing so-called ‘forest bathing’ (shinrin-yoku) for patients for decades. What about wood the material itself? Conclusive evidence is building about the positive psychological impacts of having nature and natural proxy materials such as timber in interiors in buildings. In hospitals it has been demonstrated benefits to patients recover faster, require less medication and feel less pain. In schools concentration improves, learning improves and absenteeism falls. In offices productivity increases and absenteeism falls.
