Here are the current trends in vintage wood flooring. This year, people particularly appreciate natural-looking wood, oiled floors, and textured floors. L’Artisan du Plancher offers a wide range of flooring that will match your desires.
1. Natural-looking vintage wood floors
Rather than transforming the wood, why not preserve its natural appearance? More and more people are choosing ‘bare’ hardwood flooring. This involves choosing a wood species that will enhance the natural beauty of the wood rather than transforming it. Each species has its own characteristics. Each one has its own shade, texture, and relief.
Red pine is a species highly appreciated by homeowners. It provides a very durable surface and is easy to maintain. Red pine also has the advantage of aging better than other wood species, as it develops a shade that hardwood species will never have.
2. Oiled floors
Oiled vintage floors have many advantages. They allow your feet to better connect with the wood. The oil penetrates the wood, allowing you to appreciate its warmth and texture. The matte and natural aspect of the wood is preserved, giving charm and authenticity to your floor.
3. Textured vintage wood floors
Although most vintage floors have a smooth texture, there are other equally pleasant textures. A textured floor also has the advantage of hiding the effects of time, such as scratches among others. Depending on the type of wood species you choose, you can select a floor with a wavy, brushed, or engraved texture.
4. Wide wood planks
Wide wood planks offer an impressive visual effect. The eye indeed lingers on the cuts. Wider planks therefore give the impression of enlarging the room. It thus appears more spacious than it actually is.
5. Vintage vinyl wood floors
Vintage vinyl floors are very high-quality products. They are also easy to install. Moreover, they are resistant to mold, airtight, and waterproof. They therefore represent an excellent flooring choice for your basement.
6. Wood imitation
Hardwood floors are aesthetically very beautiful. However, they are not very well adapted to your basements, particularly due to humidity and heat. Fortunately, there are some vinyl and ceramic products that imitate the appearance of wood. SPC is however more popular and less expensive than vinyl. These products can also be used without any problem on a heated floor.
