There are a few decisions you need to make before you purchase your new timber floor.
Colour Choice
Choose the colour group you prefer for your timber floor before deciding on a specific timber. There are generally three colour groups: creams, browns, and reds.
Grades
There are generally 4 grades of flooring graded to Australian Standards.
Select grade timber has minimal natural features, giving you a clear and unblemished look.
Standard grade timber has a small amount of natural feature giving your timber floor a beautiful natural look.
Feature grade timber features knots, gum veins, and insect markings, displaying all the natural appeal of the timber.
Character grade flooring is an interesting and often considerably more affordable selection.
Utility grade is what we call auction grade. Very heavy in natural features and also has a large amount of miss machining where the board has not been machined properly, making it very difficult to get a good finish from your flooring investment.
Board sizes
There are a few different board sizes you have to choose from.
Standard sizes in hardwood are 80 x 19, 130 x 19 and 180 x 21, however there are also a few new sizes designed to go direct over concrete and plywood, 80 x 12 and 180 x 14.
Standard sizes in cypress are 62 x 19, 85 x 19, 98 x 19 and 135 x 19.
Finishes
There are a number of different finishes available for all applications, please have your floor installer discuss the best options for your floor.
Timber Floors are easy to clean, the hard smooth surface holds less allergen such as pollen, pet hair, dirt and dust. Timber floors can last and look beautiful for a lifetime and increase the value of your home.
We can have one of our many sub-contracter based customers contact you for the installation side of things where you can deal direct with the person who will be responsible for the workmanship of the job. Also saving you a large amount of money because you cut out the middle man. They have the skills to design any style of solid strip floor, boarders and inlays to customize your room.
Raw solid strip flooring is traditional and timeless in any home. We offer a variety of domestic and exotic species. Installation of a raw solid strip floor and finishing it on site gives you the smoothest surface and eliminates the bevel look of the pre-finished wood flooring. Also, because it comes in longer lengths, it will minimize the amount of noise the floor has and with less joins will look a lot nicer and more natural.
