How to protect parquet flooring during the move
A move carried out incorrectly and without professionalism could irreparably ruin the integrity of the parquet.
First of all, it is
advisable to rely on experts in the sector who can offer you the most suitable
materials for the different types of flooring and fast and safe service.
Necessary materials
FELINES
Before starting to
move furniture such as sofas, tables and chairs, it is essential to place the
felt pads, commonly known as rubber pads, under their feet to avoid scratching
the floor.
ROLLS OF FELT OR
FLEECE SLEEVE
They can be found in
online stores or hardware stores, often sold in 50m/100m formats and guaranteed
safe protection of the parquet, thanks to their thickness. Sometimes, it is
also advisable to place ordinary cartons on top of it if there is particularly
heavy furniture.
If you decide to
contact a moving company, it will be your discretion to ask them for the
material and its possible installation to receive a complete and professional
service.
The basic
guidelines
Once you have listed
the necessary material, it is important to outline the steps to proceed
correctly.
The furniture must
always be placed carefully, and it is essential to lift them during the loading
and unloading phase to avoid dragging them, which, due to small pebbles or
other sharp materials hidden under the felt rolls, could damage the wooden
floor wood.
Always rely on
professionals.
If you have the right
procedure to follow, damaging the parquet is essentially impossible, but it is
good to rely on experts in the sector like Britwrap
protective packaging.
But, of course, if a person needs a doctor, he doesn't go to the greengrocer.
No carpets? Here
are the alternatives
There are no real
alternatives to a floor protector for the pellet stove or fireplace except for
structural modifications. However, if you need to protect the parquet from
relatives, frozen boots and animals, we can offer you some ideas.
Doormat always
clean
This is such a classic
solution that it seems trivial. Yet, many doormats are so neglected as to be
almost useless. Rain, mud, and animals have made them dirty and made a
receptacle for dust and debris. So, given the holidays, give your doormat a
good clean or buy a new one. And remember to always use it before entering the
house.
Home shoe cleaner
mats
If you want to make
absolutely certain that your visitors clean their shoes before arriving in the
living room, replenish them with rugs. Place one at the entrance to the living
room and one in front of the kitchen door, so you don't carry any dropped food
bits while cooking.
Shoe tray
Place a shoe tray in
the hallway, right next to the door. When you return from days spent in the
snow, take off your shoes and place them on them. This way, you will avoid
carrying dirt around the house. During the holiday season, get at least one
more for guests. This solution is at its best, with a floor protection roll at the entrance.
Basket of slippers
Once the shoes have
been removed, guests cannot go barefoot. That's why you need a basket or bag
full of cloth slippers. You can usually find them on the stalls of the local
markets, sold for a few euros. They are a slightly nicer and more comfortable
solution than the usual skates.
Tables and coffee
tables
What do the tables
have to do with the need to protect the parquet? One of the great dangers of
parties is the drinks and food. A glass of wine is enough to stain the floor,
sometimes beyond recovery. That's why you need lots of support surfaces, stable
and standing buffet-proof.
You are now ready to
face the holidays! Have fun and take care of your floors and if you have to
renovate your home, always remember to rely on serious professionals in the
sector.
