Looks Great At First

I really liked the oak design and the fitting was good, but it hasn't kept as well as I hoped. We were warned the sun could cause fading so have always kept patio blinds closed when the sun is on them which seems to have worked. It's been down in the lounge diner and internal hall in a bungalow for 16 years now. I was assured that it wouldn't show wear by the fitter, but it is noticeably shinier where we regularly walk now. I must point out that we have no children or grandchildren running round scuffing it and we always wear slippers indoors and meet friends elsewhere so few visitors have walked on it. We fitted pads on our dining table and chairs which sit on a carpet square and we also fitted pads on our sofa legs and othe furniture. However, it does mark easily and workmen have scratched it opening boxes of goods on it. At one point we wanted to do other rooms but were disappointed that it had been discontinued in the oak choice we had to start with, so that is something to consider too if you want to continue the same design in your home at a later date.
