Timber flooring adds timeless beauty, warmth, and value to any home. But with so many options available, choosing the right timber floor can feel overwhelming. From solid hardwood to engineered timber, finishes, and installation methods — understanding what suits your lifestyle, design preferences, and budget is key to making the perfect choice.
Why Choose Timber Flooring?
Timber floors create a natural, inviting atmosphere in your home. They’re durable, easy to clean, and can be refinished to look like new after years of use. Plus, timber is a sustainable choice when sourced responsibly, making it an eco-friendly flooring option.
Types of Timber Flooring
1. Solid Timber Flooring
Made from a single piece of hardwood, solid timber floors offer authenticity and can be sanded and refinished multiple times. Ideal for dry, stable environments, they bring classic charm to your home.
2. Engineered Timber Flooring
Constructed from multiple layers with a hardwood veneer on top, engineered timber offers greater stability against moisture and temperature changes. It’s perfect for modern homes, especially those with underfloor heating or concrete subfloors.
Consider Your Lifestyle
- High Traffic Areas: Choose harder wood species or durable finishes to withstand wear.
- Pets and Kids: Opt for finishes that resist scratches and stains.
- Moisture-Prone Areas: Engineered timber is better suited for kitchens, bathrooms, or basements.
Finishes and Colours
Timber flooring comes in a wide range of finishes—from natural oils to UV-cured lacquers—and colours, from light Scandinavian whites to rich dark hues. Custom finishes allow you to tailor your floor to match your interior design perfectly.
Installation Options
Depending on your subfloor and preference, timber floors can be:
- Nail-down: Traditional method for solid timber.
- Glue-down: Common for engineered timber on concrete.
- Floating: Quick, versatile method where planks click together.
