Festive Flooring Tips from Quick Step

With Christmas festivities in full swing, more and more Australians are opting for real Christmas trees to adorn family homes.

Real Christmas trees are not only beautiful, they also make an environmental contribution to Christmas as real trees use fewer resources than fake trees, they create less pollution and can be recycled.

By bringing in a real Christmas tree, there is a however potential to bring in real problems - especially for your timber or laminate floor that has to bear the grunt of the heavy Christmas accessory.

Australia's leading timber flooring brand, Quick Step, has a number of helpful hints to help minimise the humbug in anyone's Christmas.

1. The Water
A real Christmas tree obviously require watering to keep it perky during the silly season. Be careful not to overwater the tree, as excessive water spillages may damage timber or laminate flooring. If spillages do occur, please make sure that they are wiped away immediately to avoid the water seeping into the underlay.

2. The Tree
Some real Christmas trees are heavy so it is best to share the load with the help of others when bringing it into the home. Dragging the tree into the house on your own may scratch your flooring, causing irreversible damage.

3. The Pet
Real Christmas trees may also be very enticing for the family pet to urinate on - again creating unwanted stains on your flooring. Keep the pets and trees apart during the festive season. Your floor will thank you for it!

4. The Pot
If you do decide to get a real Christmas tree, be mindful on the pot that is holding the tree up. Excessive weight and scratching is something to look out for. A real Christmas tree undoubtedly enhances the look and feel of Christmas in your home. However, once the festive season is over and the tree is gone, it would be a shame to have to tend to any repair work needed by the consequence of the tree.

Merry Christmas from Quick Step!
