What to Look for in a Wood Flooring Company

If you are thinking about having solid wood flooring for your home or business, it is not only the quality of the product that you should consider but you should also choose a reputable natural wood flooring company to install it.

A hardwood floor is a long term investment which, if installed correctly, will last for decades and beyond. So the quality of workmanship will need to be high with attention to detail at every stage: from the initial contact with the customer, right through to the installation, and afterc are service.

Here we shall consider what to look for in a wood flooring company to ensure the best quality materials, craftsmanship and service.

Time in Business

One of the first steps in choosing a wood flooring company is to find out how long they have been in business. If a company has been operating a long time, it is a testament to the quality of their products and service as generally the longer the company has been in business, the greater their skills and reputation.

Naturally Wood has a history in the hardwood flooring trade that can be traced back 100 years, when much of the work was carried out by hand.  Today, its company directors have a wealth of experience in the flooring trade and take a very proactive role including talking through the customers’ requirements and supervising the works.

In-House Installers

A company that employs an in-house trained team of installers brings many benefits as workers takes pride in the jobs they do and constantly strive to achieve high standards of excellence.

A wood flooring company with an in-house team has an eye for detail and strives to achieve the best possible results for their customers, as opposed to subcontractors who may not have any special connection to the company.

In addition to this, an in-house team is more likely to have the training appropriate to each flooring type, and can offer advice as and when necessary so the client receives the right product to suit their requirements.

Naturally Wood has an in-house team of installers and floor restorers, and we supply and install superior flooring to a standard that meets or exceeds our customers’ expectations.

Attention to Quality

It is vital to choose a company that takes pride in the quality of their materials so they can lay flooring that not only looks beautiful but will last.

Naturally Wood is committed to high standards of excellence and lay great importance on the quality of our materials. We regularly carry out quality control checks at the factories in Germany, Holland and the Netherlands, so we can see the materials at first hand and view the methods of production.

Wood Flooring Specialists

It is always best to choose a company that are wood flooring specialists as they are experts in their field, rather than all-rounders.

General flooring fitters may not have the extensive knowledge and wide range of expertise a specialist flooring fitter, such as Naturally Wood, can provide.

Advice from the Experts

To get your flooring just the way you want it, you will need time to consider the various options and find out which of these will work best in your interior.

Instead of pushy sales techniques, you will want a company that understands choosing solid wood flooring isn’t a snap decision. 

Naturally Wood is passionate about hardwood flooring and we give our customers as much time as they need to think about the different possibilities, so they can gain the right flooring for their needs.

Although the majority of our flooring samples are free, we do charge for some of our flooring panels, such as parquet panels and borders, as these have to be made specifically to order.

Survey Before Quoting

It is always best for a company to carry out a full survey before any work starts, so they can fully understand the job in hand.

Naturally Wood do just that which means that we can factor in any special requirements before quoting, so there are no nasty surprises when you get the bill.
