Next Step 189 Natural Oak Matt Lacquered Engineered Wood Flooring

Maintenance

Natural wood looks great in your home, and our flooring is easy to lay and easy to care for. Here are our quick tips for keeping wood flooring looking fantastic:

• Sweep or vacuum regularly – removing dust and dirt from your wooden flooring stops it from scratching the wood or getting stuck in the surface.
• Protect against furniture – scraping and moving furniture can scratch your flooring. Just pop pads on the underside of the chair and table legs to keep your floor smooth and beautiful.
• Remove water and stains quickly – although natural wood flooring is treated, you shouldn't let water or spills remain on the floor. Clean it when you see it to maintain your flooring.
• Protect high-traffic areas – using rugs and mats can help to protect against scuffing and scratching.
• Clean with wood flooring cleaner – it's always best to use a specialist cleaner rather than regular householder cleaners. These are readily available and inexpensive.

Sustainability

Sourced from verified sustainable suppliers in Europe, our real wood flooring meets the tough requirements set out by law in the UK Timber Regulation (UKTR – formerly the EUTR), a requirement for importing wood. This legislation requires a due diligence process that includes:

• Full description of the supply chain, including country of origin, species, and compliance with national legislation.
• Evaluating the risk of illegal timber entering the supply chain.
• Mitigating the risks of sourcing illegal timber by collecting all relevant documentation from the supplier.
• Regularly audit the process to ensure continued compliance.
   

We are members of the UK Timber Trade Federation and are working with BREEEM, the world’s leading sustainability assessment method for the built environment to ensure that flooring supplied to commercial projects meets the required standards.
