Solidpuitpõrandad

Solidpuitpõrandad, often translated as solid wood flooring, refers to flooring made entirely from solid pieces of lumber. Unlike engineered wood or laminate flooring, each plank or tile in a solid wood floor is milled from a single piece of wood, typically hardwoods like oak, maple, cherry, or walnut, though softer woods are also used. This construction provides a natural and authentic appearance, with each piece showcasing unique grain patterns and natural variations. Solid wood floors are known for their durability and longevity, and can be sanded and refinished multiple times over their lifespan, allowing for restoration of their original appearance if scratches or wear occur.

The installation of solid wood flooring usually involves nailing or stapling the planks to a subfloor, typically made of plywood or particleboard. This method ensures a strong and stable floor. Solid wood floors are generally not recommended for installation in areas prone to high moisture, such as bathrooms or basements, as the wood can expand and contract significantly with changes in humidity, potentially leading to warping or cupping. However, in appropriate environments, they offer a timeless aesthetic and can increase the value of a property. Maintenance typically involves regular sweeping or vacuuming and occasional damp mopping with a wood-specific cleaner.
