Wide Hardwood Floors: Worn Depressions from Walking

Wide plank hardwood flooring: naturally worn undulations

A wide plank manor floor. The planks are 20 to 30 cm wide, made of dark hardwood or local pine, very long with few seams. The surface has developed slight undulations over the years from foot traffic, with areas near doorways and staircases particularly worn and shiny, and knots surrounded by depressions. There are small gaps between the planks. Only one or two thin jute or woven rugs are present. Avoid: using narrow modern wood flooring, sanding the surface completely flat, applying a glossy finish to create a film, covering the floor entirely with rugs.

一片寬版的莊園地板。板寬達二十到三十公分,是深色的硬木或當地的松木,長度很長、接縫很少;表面經年被走出輕微的起伏,門口與樓梯前的部分特別磨損發亮,節疤周圍凹下去。板與板之間有細小的縫隙。上面只有一兩張薄的黃麻或編織地毯。避免:使用窄版的現代木地板、把表面打磨到完全平整、上亮面漆做出漆膜、鋪滿地毯蓋住地板。
