What is the average life span of my new floor?
The general rule is the more foot traffic the greater the wear. In a average household of two adults and two children maybe a medium sized dog, it will be the hallways which will receive most traffic in the house. Without a decent entrance mat and without regular cleaning/washing you could expect the floor to last 4-5 years. A bedroom which will receive little traffic will last for years longer, Your floors will last years longer with regular cleaning as the grit from outside of the street wears down the varnish, felt pads on chairs, castors on sofas also help protect your floor.
