A Viennese point floor is a stylish choice. But what about maintenance? Do you need to be extra careful due to the point pattern? And does maintenance differ between wood and PVC?
In this article, we'll explain it clearly, so you know exactly what to expect.
Is a Viennese point floor more difficult to maintain?
The laying pattern itself makes no difference in maintenance. Whether you have a straight plank or a Viennese point, daily maintenance remains the same. What does make a difference is the material: wood or PVC.
Maintenance of a Viennese point PVC floor
If you choose PVC, maintenance is simple. Regular vacuuming or sweeping prevents dirt from accumulating between the seams. In addition, lightly damp mopping is sufficient to keep the floor clean.
PVC is water-resistant and therefore suitable for intensive daily use. Especially in combination with underfloor heating, the floor remains stable and comfortable.
Tips for PVC maintenance
- Use a soft broom or vacuum cleaner with a parquet brush
- Mop lightly damp, not wet
- Use a suitable cleaning agent for PVC
- Place felt pads under furniture
Maintenance of a wooden Viennese point floor
A wooden floor requires a little more attention. Maintenance depends on the finish.
An oiled floor needs periodic maintenance with maintenance oil to retain its protection. A varnished floor is easier for daily use but may need to be re-treated if it shows wear.
Tips for wooden floor maintenance
- Avoid excessive water usage
- Use maintenance products that match the finish
- Maintain stable humidity
- Prevent scratches with felt pads under furniture
Viennese point maintenance in the living room
In the living room, the floor endures the most wear and tear. Regular cleaning prevents dirt from setting in. With underfloor heating, it is important to adjust the temperature gradually to limit movement in wooden floors.
Viennese point maintenance in an apartment
In apartments, in addition to maintenance, noise also plays a role. Good underlay helps reduce impact sound. With PVC, this is often easier to achieve than with solid wood.
What should you avoid?
- Excessive water use
- Harsh cleaning agents
- Abrasive brushes
- Sudden temperature changes for wooden floors
Buying a Viennese point? Think ahead
When choosing a floor, it is wise to look not only at its appearance but also at ease of maintenance. PVC is practical and low-maintenance. Wood offers character and can be renovated.
