Flooring for the children’s room

When designing the interior of their child’s room, every parent faces a dilemma: which type of flooring will be the best choice? The choices are usually narrowed down to: carpeting, parquet, panels or wooden boards. Natural wood is the best choice from among the above options, thanks to its beauty and ability to ensure good protection against cold and create a healthy microclimate in the room. Wooden floorboards are also a great choice for interiors used by those suffering from allergies.

Wooden floor for the children’s room

Young children will spend several hours a day on the floor. They will use it to run, build structures from building blocks, drive toy cars and do flips. What’s the best choice for a children’s room floor? Natural wood. Floor made of this material will impart a friendly and cosy mood to the room. It will also ensure that the room stays warm, as wood is an excellent insulator against cold. Furthermore, a wooden floor in a child’s room can also insulate against noise. A layer of insulating material under the floorboards will be sufficient to achieve this goal. This will enable children to jump as much as they want without disturbing the downstairs neighbour even in an apartment block.

Wood for allergy sufferers

Flooring made from artificial materials is electrostatic, causing it to collect dirt. In contrast, floorboards made of natural materials do not attract dust or mites, making them a great choice for those suffering from allergies. Barlinek’s floorboards are made 100% out of wood, imparting them with a natural look and a nice smell. However, few people are aware that wood flooring ionises the air, creating a favourable microclimate in the room and ensuring a positive impact on the health of those living in the interior.

Wooden flooring in the children’s room – care and renovation

A natural floor in your child’s room is easy to keep clean – just vacuum it. More persistent dirt can be wiped with a damp cloth. The floor in your child’s room should be waterproofed to give it extra protection against moisture. The right type of product will prevent liquids that your child might spill on the floor surface from penetrating into the floor. A product recommended by the manufacturer is the best choice to maintain the floorboards.

Another advantage of a wooden floor in a child’s room is its ease of renovation. Over years of intensive use, boards can get scratched and lose their shine. Fortunately, they can easily be refinished. To do this, simply refresh the floor with a suitable refinishing agent. If the board sustains heavy damage, it can be sanded down and recoated using oil or UV varnish.

Wooden floor - creates an interior

Wooden floors, including floorboards, are not only a practical usable surface but also a key element of interior design, significantly influencing its character and aesthetics. Their main advantage is the natural beauty of wood, which brings warmth, elegance, and a timeless style to rooms. Furthermore, a wooden floor is durable and, with proper care, can last for many years, maintaining its unique appearance.

Various types of wooden floors are available, varying in wood species, finish, and the intensity and visibility of wood characteristics. Barlinek offers three-layer floorboards that combine a natural look with high stability. Oiled floors emphasize the wood’s structure and add a cozy feel to the interior, while varnished floors provide greater scratch resistance and are easy to clean.

Choosing the right wooden floor should be tailored to the interior style and user preferences. For classic interiors, boards in natural oak shades are perfect, emphasizing the elegance and solidity of the room. In modern spaces, it is worth choosing white or light finishes that will optically enlarge the interior and add lightness to it.
