White wooden floorboards?

27 replies

Ipanema01 · 25/06/2015 16:37

We're doing a refurb soon and I REALLY want white wooden flooring for our open plan ground floor - does anybody have this and am I nuts?

We currently have oak floorboards stained a walnut colour so we'd most likely be stripping and re-staining them.
I know white has got to be the worst for dirt but our current floor has never been properly finished/sealed and show every bit of dust/mud/water anyway. Should also mention we have a toddler and a Great Dane...

An alternative could be pale grey maybe?

Thanks everyone for your input - the builders are currently sanding the floors and are going to be using Osmo polyx oil in white - the sample they have shown us looks white enough for me so fingers crossed!
I'll upload a photo once it's finished.

Just wanted to come back to say that we went with the Osmo polyx oil on our floors and I really like the look of it - they've done a few coats and it's very white with hardly any grain showing through. It has marked already so I'm going to chat to the builder about maybe doing another coat of the Bona traffic finish we used on top.
I've been giving it a quick sweep every day to get rid of any dog hairs and dust mainly, grey dog hairs so they show up quite quickly but I was expecting this. All in all I'm pleased so far!

Does anyone who has Osmo floors use anything in particular to clean it? I need to figure out the best/quickest way to keep it clean and I don't want to use a regular wood floor cleaner in case I'm going to damage it.
