The Perfect Blend Of Experience and Design.
Perswood was asked to install a floor in the annex block of this beautifully designed house. The client wished for a light and contemporary look in the floors that complemented their full height glass windows and doors.
To achieve this, Perswood used a beautiful and durable clear grade white oak throughout the house. The broad boards seemed to amplify the already large rooms, long corridors, and gave the flight of stairs a seemingly “floating” effect. The light colour of the white oak also complemented the very clean, modern and elegant design of the house.
Where Exciting Ideas Come To Life.
Park 7 is an exclusive and luxurious high end condominium development in Malaysia, situated in the KLCC enclave. Perswood was tasked to install the internal floor and outdoor deck.
The architect’s desired look was minimalist, back-to-basics, yet contemporary. To achieve this, premium Tasmanian oak, with its light colour and warmth, fit this requirement perfectly for the internal floors. Balau, with its slightly coarse texture and sometimes interlocking grains, was ideal for the outdoor deck.
The Perfect Balance Of Beauty And Practicality.
Bauhaus Showroom in Jalan Wangsa, Kuala Lumpur features simple and clean lines. A modern, contemporary design with distinctive interiors and architecture.
Complementing the design intent is our balau wood, a hardwearing timber that has suitable colour variations that blends well with the overall tone of the showroom, enhancing the initial design objectives.
Natural Beauty Achieved by Design
In creating this iconic residence that blends modern architecture with rustic wood panels, a high degree of technical skill and expertise is needed. Perswood’s Zircon brought longer and wider panels, a natural wood grain and lasting durability, to ensure every part of the architect’s vision was fulfilled.
The Perfect Resolve of Beauty and Practicality.
Bringing out the best of both worlds. In creating their own gallery, premium developer E&O opted for the beauty and character of a hardwood floor. The result is a contemporary and stunning space built to last and ixnspire. Perswood’s pre-finished floorings are the perfect blend of aesthetics and pragmatism and a proven choice of top architects and designers the world over.
Bringing timber expertise and craftsmanship to every solution.
The 152 year old Victoria Concert Hall plays an important part in Singapore’s growing arts and cultural landscape. It is not only a gazetted national monument, but fills an important role as the home of the Singapore Symphony Orchestra.
As part of the S$180 million refurbishment of the Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall, Perswood’s Ipe Walnut from South America was used in along with restored wood from the original 1905 structure. It was the perfect marriage of old and new. We also had to ensure that our work with the timber did not compromise the acoustics of the concert hall. Perswood is proud to have been part of this project to enhance the monumentality of this heritage building.
A clean and well-maintained wood floor is one of the first aspects of your home that guests are bound to notice. Not only is the rich wood grain pleasing to the eye, the smooth panels are also a pleasure underfoot.
But cleaning your wood floors and keeping them in prime condition takes some know-how. Host visitors with confidence, and deftly clean up after they leave, through these simple steps that will keep your floor looking and feeling as luxurious as the day it was installed.
Get rid of dirt and grit
First off, sweep or vacuum up dirt, dust, and rough particles such as sand. Though tiny, these can have an abrasive effect, scratching your floor and causing it to look dull. This is the most basic step for timber floor care, and it’s best to do so frequently – ideally every day.
Use well-wrung mop
Next, mop your floor. The key is to ensure your mop is well-wrung, not dripping wet. Otherwise, the wood, as a natural material, will absorb the excess moisture and expand. This may eventually lead to the wood popping up in a “cupping” effect. It’s recommended to use a microfibre mop.
Speed up the drying of the floor by turning on the fan or air–conditioning for a short while. Make sure the wood is fully dry before placing back any rugs or carpets.
Clean water is sufficient for mopping; you can use warm water if you’re concerned about killing germs. However, should you want to add a floor cleaner into the mix, use one specially formulated for wood floors. Generic detergents can leave a residue on your floor. Mopping can be done once to twice a week.
Actively clean spills and remove stains
Wipe any spills on your floor as soon as they occur. Just like water, other liquids can be easily absorbed by your wood floor and stain it. Corrosive substances, such as thinner and nail polish remover, are especially dangerous as they eat away your floor’s protective coating.
To get rid of stains on wood flooring that already exist, apply timber floor cleaner on a small portion of the stain and gently rub it with a soft cloth to try removing it. In the same way, remove the rest of the stain bit by bit. If it still refuses to budge, however, contact your wood supplier or chat with us for professional assistance.
Also address water leaks promptly, so that your wood floor doesn’t drink up the extra liquid. Check under rugs and mats to make sure they’re not trapping moisture – rubber-backed anti-slip rugs are especially prone to this.
Protect your floor from heat and humidity
Check that your floor is not exposed to direct sunlight and gets ventilation. Too much heat can dry up your wood, causing it to shrink and leave gaps between the planks. With not enough ventilation, the humidity in the air can cause mould to grow on the wood.
Easy fixes are installing blinds or curtains to shade your floor from the sun, and occasionally opening your windows or turning on your air-conditioning to help disperse the moisture in the air.
Ensure rugs and furniture won’t mark the floor
Inspect the furniture – their feet should be tipped with soft protectors so they won’t scratch the floor. These protectors wear out, so you’ll need to change them regularly. The feet of furniture and undersides of rugs also preferably shouldn’t have rubber backings, as these can cause heat and friction and leave markings on the wood floor.
Oil up outdoor decking
If you’ve got wooden flooring for an area that’s outside, applying protective deck oil will help protect the wood from the sun and maintain its condition. Clean it first with a soft bristle brush and a solution made from a deck cleaning product. Then mop it and allow it to dry. Rub the deck oil into the wood using a cotton cloth along the wood grain, and immediately use another cloth to remove excess oil. Then let the floor dry for at least six hours without anyone walking on it.
