Hardwood timber flooring may be installed on top of both sheeted floors and timber joists. Thicker planks are more durable and sturdy, but cost considerably more to supply and install than thinner floorboards.
Wider boards are luxurious and create an impression of space, but are more expensive and vulnerable to “cupping” when the timber expands and contracts in response to humidity fluctuations.
When it comes down to it, your individual taste is the most important factor in what type of timber floor you choose. Timber “species” relates to the hardwood variety and usually indicates the timber’s colour, whereas “grade” pertains to the number of organic flaws in the timber, like gum veins, loops, irregular grain patterns, and bug holes.
The cheaper a grade of timber is, the more flaws it usually has, which is perfect for creating floors with a country style, while more expensive grades are commonly used in modern-style flooring because of their more consistent features.
It’s important to remember that timber is a product of nature, and its blemishes give it character. There will always be at least a few irregularities like knots and/or colour variances. For that reason, we offer sizable samples in our showroom rather than letting our clients choose from one tiny sample.
Re purposed timber flooring is more environmentally friendly than new plantation-sourced timber, which takes nearly a full century to reach maturity. Reused planks are also effectively used in older houses, since they’re more likely to go with the original flooring.
Unfortunately, they are hard to come by and consequently are roughly 20% more expensive than plantation timber boards. Repurposed timber typically needs to be ordered well ahead of time so that your desired species can be properly sourced.
