Oak wood has a density of about 0.75 g/cm³, great strength and hardness, and is very resistant to insect and fungal attack because of its high tannin content. It also has very attractive grain markings, particularly when quarter-sawn. Wide, quarter-sawn boards of oak have been prized since the Middle Ages for use in interior panelling of prestigious buildings such as the debating chamber of the British House of Commons in London, England, and in the construction of fine furniture. Oak wood, from Quercus robur and Q. petraea, was used in Europe for the construction of ships until the 19th century, and was the principal timber used in the construction of European timber-framed buildings. Today oakwood is still commonly used for furniture making and flooring, timber frame buildings, and for veneer production. Oak effect laminate floors will look good in living room or bedroom.

Laminate "type" real Wood Floor restoration?

I have a wood type floor in my house - it it the board type stuff, but its good oak stuff not the laminate type.
It has become scuffed and tired looking like me, and needs some TLC - i have a swivel chair and that's not done it a lot of good. it's got dry and dusty in lots of places, I have a wood burner that doesn't assist it!

I know you can get radiator circles for laminate floors, but I need an oak trim that will fit round a 6 inch diameter post, that is at the outside of a bay window. Can you buy this or can I bend a trim piece that tight?
That sounds like fun, luckily I only need 3/4 of a circle. twice

Although I fancy white I am thinking it will be just too much. Has anyone seen white furniture on white floor or know of any websites that can be of help. Thankyou for
