How Do You Seal Wood Floors?
Sealing your wooden floors has a host of benefits, the main being protection against moisture. Moisture can be damaging to wood as it can cause the wood to delaminate, where the layers of the wood split, and in some circumstances can cause the wood to rot. Both of these can incur large costs.
Another benefit of wood sealant is that it makes the wood stronger and increases durability, offering resistance to scuffing and everyday wear and tear. Wood sealant can also possess UVA light which prevents the wood from fading in sunlight.
Outdoor wooden floors can also be susceptible to staining from bacterial growth such as algae, mould, lichen and fungi, all of which can give wood dirty, green colouring, and make it slippery underfoot. By sealing wooden floors, you can protect the floors from all these potential problems, increasing the longevity of your floor.
