Why Choose Timber Flooring?
Timber is a timeless classic, and like a fine wine, it only gets better with age, whether it’s in the form of original hardwood floors in heritage-listed houses or engineered timber flooring in new homes.
In addition to being stronger and more durable than many other flooring options, high-quality timber floors are also more hygienic and easier to clean than carpet, which traps dirt and allergens.
Floors made of timber can add elegance and style to any room. There is nothing like a wooden floor to give a space a sense of coziness and style. They also offer a range of other benefits, including:
Durable Materials
Hardwood floors are known to last for a very long time, even in environments with heavy foot traffic.
The Janka Hardness Test is used to rate wood floors, and you can use this as a measure to select material that is going to be the most durable. Home users should aim for a score of 1300 or higher. There are species of wood that are much harder than 1300 Janka, and they will all stand up under significant foot traffic.
It is common to refinish solid hardwood floors five to seven times, which means the same floor may last 100 years. It is usually possible to finish engineered wood flooring once or twice, so you can expect it to last around 40 years.
Add Value To Your Home
Since wood is considered desirable, properties with wood increase in value. And aside from looking good, it is also soft and comfortable to walk on.
If you want to increase the value of your home with new flooring, wood is your best choice. Installing hardwood floors can boost your home’s value by up to 2.5 per cent, according to real estate experts.
Environmentally friendly
This environmentally friendly flooring material is unlikely to contain allergens, VOCs, or other contaminants that other flooring can, which immediately makes it a healthier choice for you and your family.
There are many other environmental benefits, especially for the carbon-conscious and those looking to reduce their footprint. For example, a tree can absorb up to half of its dry weight in carbon from the atmosphere as it grows. One of the most important things we can do to reduce climate change damage is to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Australian forests also have some of the best conservation reserves and forest management codes in the world. Australian native forests cover 147 million hectares. Only 6 percent of that area is public forest that could be harvested. In these public native forests, about 1% of the trees are harvested each year.
Easy to clean
It is remarkably easy to clean timber floors, and you only need to use natural products. Earth-friendly soaps or even a bit of vinegar in warm water is all you need to make them look new. They will require maintenance over the years to remove any scuffs and scrapes, but this treatment will only extend the life of your floor and give you a brand new product without the need to replace your flooring.
Hardwood or laminated?
When you think of wooden flooring for your home, you are often not thinking about real wooden boards. Instead, you are probably imagining engineered or laminate flooring.
Hardwood is made from a whole piece of wood straight down from the tree, while engineered wood is made from a number of thin wooden layers, bonded together to create the board.
Choosing the right finish
Along with the type of wood flooring that you choose, you will also have to look at the finish on the boards.
Wooden floors are improved with finishes, but you could choose to leave it bare if you don’t want the effort of finishing. Oiled finishes tend to provide matt tones to your wood, while lacquered finishes have a sheen to them which makes them easier to maintain.

What maintenance is needed for timber flooring?
Maintaining timber flooring involves several key practices to ensure its longevity and preserve its natural beauty. Regular sweeping or vacuuming is essential to remove dirt and grit that can scratch the surface. It’s also important to promptly clean up any spills with a slightly damp cloth to prevent water damage. Placing mats at entrances can reduce the amount of dirt brought onto the floor and using felt pads under furniture legs can prevent scratches.
What are the different types of timber flooring?
There is a diverse array of options in timber flooring, each catering to different preferences, budgets and functional needs. Laminate flooring emerges as a cost-effective choice, mimicking the appearance of real wood through advanced printing techniques on high-density fibreboard. Bamboo flooring offers an eco-friendly alternative, boasting high durability and a low environmental impact.
Engineered oak provides a spacious and luxurious feel with its scratch-resistant surface and wide, long planks. Lastly, engineered timber flooring features a hardwood veneer atop multiple layers that ensure stability and longevity.
What timber finish should I choose?
The finish of your timber flooring can significantly affect its overall look and maintenance requirements. While some may prefer the natural, bare look of wood, finishes can enhance the wood’s durability and ease of care. Oiled finishes offer a matte tone, providing a subtle, natural look, whereas lacquered finishes add a sheen that makes the floors easier to maintain. The choice between these finishes depends on your aesthetic preference and lifestyle needs. Our team can guide you through the options to ensure your timber floors reflect your desired ambience.
How can I clean my timber floors?
Cleaning your timber floors is straightforward and can be done using environmentally friendly methods. For routine cleaning, a solution of mild, earth-friendly soap or vinegar mixed with warm water is effective in removing dirt and maintaining the floor’s appearance. It’s important to avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive tools that can damage the wood’s surface.
