      The history of wood flooring

      By Components of Style reference book as late as 1625 the ground floor of most European houses still did not have a wooden floor. Most houses had a beaten earth floor that obliged guests to wipe their shoes on a section mat to keep this characteristic floor from getting sloppy or dusty relying upon the climate. The second floor, on the off chance that you could bear the cost of one, had wooden joists and board flooring some of the time 2 feet wide of oak or elm.

Wooden board floors remained the standard and were treated with paint, and in the better homes laid in a tongue and forest setup. More unobtrusive houses would have arbitrary width sheets essentially confront nailed to the joists. The approach of the T. what's more, G. implied the sheets could be leveled before they were painted. The craftsman would attach a scrubber to a 6-foot post and utilizing his foot as weight, draw strips of over wood off the edges of the sheets. A last hand sanding, a
