Timber Flooring

This is a term given to hard flooring that is installed using a click system. Enabling the flooring to float on the substrate. Floating floors feel great to walk on due to having a bit of movement within them from not being fixed down to the substrate; this creates a cushioning effect as you walk throughout.

Engineered Timber is a multi layered flooring product constructed of a timber veneer or lamination top layer sitting on a substrate such as plywood or pine. Engineered Timber is designed to not need any acclimatisation prior to install meaning the product is more stable than solid timber planks. Installation of this product is usually quicker and easier than its counterpart solid timber also.

Solid Timber Flooring is just that - a solid piece of wood all the way through. Available in solid "pre finished" or solid "raw". Raw meaning once the boards are laid the installer will need to sand and polish the product.

With the correct care and maintenance Timber Flooring can last 10-15 years. It is expected at this point that most people would re sand and polish their timber floor to rejuvenate it and keep it looking new.

Yes you can - Solid Timber allows for more re sanding than Engineered Timber does. It is suggested you check the specifications of your product prior to re sanding as some products allow for more re-sands than others.

Moisture is the biggest enemy of Timber Floors so it is important to note this. For specific cleaning instructions please speak to us so we can direct you to the appropriate information relative to the product you have purchased.
