Beech wooden floors provide an attractive alternative. There are many reasons as to why individuals may select beech wood in comparison to other wood types. They offer premium quality, cost-efficient and flexible alternatives. Generally, they are looked at as being light and bright and can look striking with the correct wood finish.
Beech floors also offer the general advantages as other wood floors including ease of maintenance and aesthetic appeal.
We were asked to fully restore this Beech wood floor in Chadderton. Over time, our client felt as though it had discoloured. The wood finish looked orange in colour and no longer brought that natural feel that it once did.
It is really important that our clients are offered all relevant information about wood finishes. A wood finish that one individual may like may not be preferable by another. Some people have a definite idea of the type of finish they would like. Others may want complete guidance. We are happy to offer all levels of support in relation to this.
The wooden floor was completely transformed from a discoloured and unsightly floor to a light and natural one. With having wood floors throughout the downstairs of their home, our client felt it gave a much better impression on walking into their home.
We have put together some information on the pros and cons of Beech wood:

- Offers a hard-wearing finish

Each of these can be combatted with careful wood restoration techniques though. The application of a high-quality wood finish will provide the solution. If you would like to find out more about our wood restoration services, please call today on 0800 852 7188 or 07714 439813.
