Timber Flooring
Timber has been, and continues to be, the go-to flooring choice for homeowners due to its durability and elegance. Now that hardwood floors are a bit more affordable than in the past, lots of homeowners are contemplating replacing their flooring to timber.
There are many reasons to use timber as flooring material:
There is a variety of wood flooring to select from :
Hardwood Flooring
Hardwood flooring is the most well known, yet expensive kind of flooring made from timber. Hardwood floorboards are made of slow-growing trees which means the wood has a finer look and more detailed grain. They are also more robust and durable than other types of wood, which justifies the expensive price.
Oak Flooring
Oak flooring is constructed by cutting floorboards out of oak wood trees. Since oak is a common wood species all over the world, oak flooring is generally priced at a lower cost in comparison to other varieties of hardwood. It also has a moderate density, which makes it resistant to wear and scratches and is also easy to install and work with.
Engineered Timber Floors
In contrast to real hardwood, engineered timber floorboards are made of various kinds of wood that are glued onto a timber veneer or laminate surface. They are cheaper than hardwood flooring. As well as having the same appearance of hardwood flooring, engineered wood floors can be sanded many times, and then refinished when they become damaged.
Reclaimed Wood Flooring
These types of floorboards are constructed from old lumber. Reclaimed wood flooring is typically taken from barns and old houses which are then cut and sanded. The planks of wood you get may be slightly worn down, some have knots, nail holes and a few stains, but it adds to the unique look of the material.
Bamboo Timber Flooring
Technically speaking, bamboo is actually grass; however, it is extremely robust and looks fantastic as a flooring material. It's an eco-friendly resource making it popular among those who are “green” conscious.
Wooden flooring usually utilises a clicking mechanism for easy and simple installation. It is increasingly sought after due to its simplicity and the fact that less expertise and equipment is required for installation.
Click-in floor planks can be easily joined and locked in place, eliminating the need for screws, nails or glue. Every click-in floor is fitted with interlocking joints placed on the edges of the plank. They ensure a tight, as well as secure, fitting which reduces the possibility of gaps appearing between the flooring. Underlayment isn’t a necessity, but it operates as a cushioning between the wood and the surface you're laying your flooring on; it is highly recommended!
