Life is built on moments – big and small, everyday life and celebrations. They often happen almost unnoticed, yet always on the same foundation. The floor is the largest continuous surface in a home, carrying footsteps, play, celebrations and moments of rest.
A Timberwise floor is designed to be part of your life’s journey. From life’s very first steps to the stages when the pace slows down and the home takes on a new, calmer meaning. It is a floor that truly deserves its place in your life.
Life’s First Steps
When a new life enters the world, safety is always the top priority. Every material in the home affects the environment where a child grows, moves and explores the world – often right at floor level.
A Timberwise wooden floor provides a warm and natural foundation for life’s very first moments – a place where a baby can lie, wiggle their toes and wonder at the world. Real wood feels pleasant to the touch and creates a calm, soothing atmosphere. Timberwise floors contain no added formaldehyde and do not emit harmful odours or emissions into indoor air.
Timberwise is the only wooden flooring manufacturer in the world to have been awarded the Allergy Label by the Finnish Allergy, Skin and Asthma Federation – a recognition of suitability even for sensitive users. This brings peace of mind when small hands – and sometimes mouths – explore the surrounding materials.
Safety becomes even more important when little hands and feet start to move. As crawling turns into toddling and eventually those first unsteady steps, the floor must not be slippery, but provide reliable grip. Especially brushed and oil-waxed surfaces offer natural traction and confidence for learning to move.
Paws Are Part of the Family Too
Just like children, pets need a safe and odour-free living environment. Many animals have a very sensitive sense of smell, and chemical odours or emissions can be especially stressful for them.
The clean raw materials and low-emission nature of Timberwise floors create a pleasant environment for furry family members as well. Wooden floors provide better grip for paws and pads than many slippery materials such as laminate or tiles. This reduces slipping and supports joint and hip health, particularly for dogs.
And just like young children, pets may also explore their surroundings with their mouths – making material safety just as important.
When Life Is Still Play
As children grow, the floor becomes an increasingly important part of everyday life. It is where games are played, forts are built, drawings are made and favourite shows are watched. The floor is in constant contact with the child, often for long periods of time.
Few people stop to consider how much impact flooring materials have on indoor air quality. As the largest surface in the home, emissions from the floor can significantly affect living comfort. Timberwise floors are made using safe raw materials and contain no added formaldehyde.
It is important to note that wood itself naturally contains small amounts of formaldehyde, which cannot be removed. Similar levels are found in everyday foods such as tomatoes and are not harmful. That is why Timberwise speaks honestly: not “formaldehyde-free”, but no added formaldehyde.
When the Teenage Years Put You to the Test
Life – and taste – changes, sometimes quickly and dramatically. A child’s room once filled with bold colours, perhaps even a pink floor, may suddenly feel completely wrong to a teenager.
Fortunately, there is no need to start from scratch. The thicker surface layer of Timberwise parquet allows sanding and refinishing at least twice. This means the floor’s colour and appearance can change along with life. Sometimes a professional cleaning and maintenance treatment is enough; other times the floor can be fully sanded and re-stained, resulting in a completely renewed look.
Our flooring professionals take care of the process for you – so you don’t have to worry about anything. Except, perhaps, the teenage years themselves.
The maintainability of wooden floors makes them an ecological and long-lasting choice. It reduces the need for new materials and lowers the carbon footprint. A well-maintained floor gains more life and carries you confidently into the next stages.
The Rush Years – Everyday Life and Celebration
When life is at its busiest, the floor must handle everyday life without constant worry. Timberwise floors are designed for exactly this – for living.
The birch plywood construction and boil-tested glue joints withstand temporary moisture and everyday mishaps. Spilled milk, blueberry soup, wet sports gear, splashed red wine and the traces of celebrations do not cause irreversible damage.
Unlike HDF-based products, plywood construction does not swell easily when exposed to moisture. A lacquered surface offers durable protection and easy maintenance, while an oil-waxed surface can be repaired locally if needed. Signs of living belong to a wooden floor – and most of them can be fixed.
P.S. If choosing a floor happens in the middle of busy family life, our showrooms offer an easy solution. From material selection to ordering, professional installation and project management – everything from one place. You focus on your everyday life, and we take care of your life’s floor.
When a Home Becomes Truly Your Own – The Young Adult Years
For a young adult, home is often the first place that feels entirely their own. It is where everyday routines are learned, choices are made and personal style begins to take shape. The floor is part of it all – daily life, celebrations and life’s small experiments.
A Timberwise wooden floor easily withstands this phase of life. Its timeless look adapts to changing interior styles, and its high-quality structure supports an active lifestyle. As life and taste evolve, the floor does not need to be replaced – it can be maintained, sanded and re-stained.
Real wood brings warmth and calm into the home and provides a durable foundation for life’s next steps.
When Life Begins to Settle
When the busiest years are behind you and there is time again for yourself, your home and relaxation, the floor takes on a new meaning. Wooden surfaces bring harmony and calm to a space, making the home a truly peaceful place to be.
A Timberwise floor feels warm underfoot and is not slippery – an important feature when steps slow down and a stable, secure surface adds to the feeling of safety. This is a good moment to pause and look at your floor: to maintain it, renew it and give it more years to walk alongside you.
Classic flooring choices stand the test of time with minimal maintenance, and if desired, the entire look of the floor can be transformed through sanding and refinishing. This way, your life’s floor continues to serve you even when there is no longer a need to rush – only time to enjoy the calm that comes with a life well lived.
Timberwise – an authentic and durable floor for your life, where a lived life can be felt in every step.
