Protecting my floor

Maintaining wood floors is becoming increasingly simple. State-of-the-art finishing techniques ensure more and more efficient protection against everyday wear and tear, such as scratches and stains. However, it is still important to protect and clean your wood floor to ensure it retains its original appearance over the years.

For maximum durability, your Panaget flooring should only be subject to normal levels of wear and tear and should be properly maintained. This means taking precautions against damage caused by abrasive particules such as sand and gravel, as well as chair and table legs and castors on the bottom of armchairs, TV stands, etc. How long your floor lasts will depend on how well you look after it.

Steam cleaners and warm or lukewarm water should not be used to clean wood floors.

Protection and prevention:

Various problems can result from specific forms of use and lead to unsightly damage to the wood floor.
Wood floor maintenance starts with the use of a rug at the doorway to the room as well as an absorbent doormat to capture any abrasive particles (sand, gravel, etc.).
Make sure to avoid any risk of unnecessary wear caused by unsuitable castors on pieces of furniture:

Replace narrow plastic castors with wider rubber versions.
If possible, place a rug or a translucent protection sheet under any armchairs or moveable furniture
Cushion the bottom of all furniture with felt glides.

Don’t forget that wood is a natural material and however hard it is, it can still be dented (by walking on it in high heels, for example).
