With proper maintenance, they maintain their shape and original glow for many years. Furniture is often overlooked as a potential source of floor damage. Unprotected furniture legs may damage both the end and the wood on the floor as time passes. The fantastic news is that you are able to take some measures to create your furniture more floor-friendly.
Use these strategies to secure your hardwood floors from furniture.
Do Not Affect Your Furniture
A common source of wood floor repair in Cupertino is that the pulling or pushing of furniture through cleaning, remodeling or moving. This movement causes the finish to the floor to burn, leading to other unwanted issues. Always take some time to lift furniture off the floor to move it from 1 place to another. That may mean having to find a moving friend that will help you move heavy furniture.
Invest in Furniture with Wheels
Picking up some types of furniture to maneuver them may be tough. Because of this, you can consider buying secondhand furniture like entertainment units and cabinets. The wheels will make moving the furniture out of place to place a lot easier. Some wheels can cause scratches in the surface of wood floors.
- Tap-on nails are attached to both furniture legs using little tacks or hollowed out nails. They perfect for large furniture you don't often move as a dining table and couch.
- Slip-on pads are made of soft rubber or plastic and fit over seat legs. You won't have an issue with them coming off provided they match your chairs correctly.
- Peel and stick pads are the least expensive and simplest of the three. They are generally made of felt and adhere to the bottom of chair legs. It is better to buy the thicker ones because the thinner ones have a tendency to drop off relatively quickly.
Assess Furniture Legs
The bottoms of your old furniture can harm your hardwood flooring. Sometimes, turn your furniture and assess the toes. If they have become worn and rough, you will want to provide them a light sanding to keep them from scuffing your flooring. You also need to clean any debris and dust .
