Water on natural oiled wooden floors

“You can’t use wooden floors in wet rooms.”  This old-fashioned and outmoded statement belongs to the past. Find out why…

mafi natural oiled wooden floors with their unique, warm and smooth surface are definitely made for use in areas where it is humid and water can easily spill over. There are some good reasons why mafi natural oiled floors stand out in comparison to other floors that have been treated with lacquer.

They are warmer to the touch, leave no sign of condensation, allow diffusion and regulate moisture like natural wood. Without forming any film, the special mafi oils penetrate deep into the walking surface of the wooden floor, harden and make the wood resistant from within. (Lacquer does form a film on the floor and once it is scratched, the film is broken and the floor is unprotected).

Furthermore, due to the 3-layer construction and special surface treatment, the mafi natural wood floors are guaranteed to be more stable and resistant to swelling and shrinking. Due to these facts and our experience, we know that mafi floors are usable for bathrooms and recreation areas where moisture and humidity would cause problems on lacquer floors.

Water can leave marks/stains if it is left on a wooden floor surface for a long time. However, since the mafi floor is oiled, water marks can be removed after the floor is wiped a few times with the mafi soap. The more often you wipe the floor, (remember, you just have to wipe the floor when it’s dirty) the more resistant it gets against dirt and water. This is because the floor extracts all the oily and fatty ingredients of the soap and becomes more and more resistant.

So if you would like to fit your bathroom or wellness area with mafi flooring planks, please ensure that relevant guidelines for laying and re-finishing surfaces are observed and that the flooring is treated with reasonable care.
