Oak flooring prone to scratching?
Is oak flooring prone to scratching? What steps can be taken to minimise this risk?
Expert Trade Answers
"Scratches – Any time you have a wood floor, some scratching will occur. It's a natural side effect of normal use, especially in heavy traffic areas. Light scratches in an isolated area are generally not a cause for concern. If the scratches are only in the stain, they may not require any repair."
