Provincial Flooring does not
select or use endangered wood species for hardwood flooring,
nor do we import wood from countries where wood cutting
policies have not been put into place to stop this ecological
threat. The woods we use in our exotic flooring line are
always grown on tree plantations. The principal idea of
our environmental stand is that we have to take an ethical
and ecological responsibility for our products and the
floors we create.
Exotic floors are not only durable but they are also extremely
easy to care and maintain. During manufacturing process
all the possible care has been taken to ensure a long
life to your Provincial floor, this care will give you
many years of satisfaction.

Provincial floors are extremely
hygienic and easy to keep clean. |
|
Remember that frequency of
maintenance of your floor depends not only on the foot
traffic but also on how much care you take. |
|
For daily cleaning it is sufficient
to vacuum the floor with special hardwood floor attachments,
sweep it clean with a soft broom or use a hard surface
wipe kit. |
|
Never use an upright vacuum
with beater bars. They can cause dents in your floor's
finish. |
|
Footmarks and more stubborn
dirt can simply be wiped away with a damp cloth. Please
make sure that you always use cloths that have been well
wrung out. Never treat the floor with wet rags or use
excessive amounts of water.
|
|
Scouring substances, wax or
polish should never be used because they cannot penetrate
the special layer of the upper surface and therefore result
in it becoming dirty. |
|
In areas vulnerable to greater
dirt such as the door and entrance hall, it is advisable
to put down protective mats. Felt rollers should be affixed
to the base of furniture and drip trays should be placed
under plant pots. Movable furniture should be fitted with
soft rubber rollers. |
|
Place glides made of felt or
some other fabric under the legs of furniture to prevent
scratches. Clean the glides regularly to ensure that dust
and grit do not become imbedded. |
|
Avoid standing water, wipe
spilled liquids immediately and let the floor dry completely.
|
|
Move your area carpets or throw
rugs occasionally to maintain a uniform appearance in
the floor's finish.
|
|
During cold periods with increased
heating, the indoor air humidity may become so low that
the floor is prone to drying out. This may cause a certain
amount of separation so that minor gaps appear in the
flooring joints. Such problems can be overcome by the
use of a room humidifier. This issue maybe the case also
in the summer in very dry areas of the country. Also having
to much humidity can cause the floor to grow and cup.
Such problems can be avoided by having a de-humidifier.
Please maintain a constant humidity in the home that is
recommended in the installation instructions. |
|
Make sure there are no exposed
nails or metal heel supports on shoes that could scratch
or dent the floor. Check shoes with soles that have deep
treads to ensure that any trapped dirt or gravel won't
scratch or dent the floor as these can leave indentations
or scratches which is not covered under warranty. |
|
Never use wax, oil-based detergents,
or other household cleaning agents on your floor, since
they may dull or damage the finish and leave a greasy
film that makes floors slippery, maintenance more difficult,
and refinishing impossible without deep sanding |
