Timber flooring is without a doubt one of the best ways to enhance the aesthetics and increase the value of your home or business. Timber has natural beauty and a special charm about it which gives any room the feel of sophistication and elegance.
However when choosing a timber floor, it is important to select the correct species, colour and finish to compliment your home or business which involves a little research and advice from a timber flooring supply and installation expert.
Whether you have recently bought a new home, or are renovating an old one, timber such as engineered, solid, hardwood, Hickory and European Oak are some great options to consider. Oak is one of the most beautiful and popular timbers as it is very prestigious and renowned. Engineered timber is also a popular choice as it has the elegance and style of solid timber, but is much easier to install and may even be fitted by a savvy home or business owner with the right experience and know how.
Solid timber on the other hand, generally needs to be installed by a professional, but is worth it, as it is the Lamborghini of the flooring world and deserves a little more attention to detail. But in saying that, there are now pre finished solid timber products which make the installation process much easier.
Walnut, maple, oak and ash all fall under the category of hardwood as they are strong and durable and can be quite resistant to dents, scratches and spills, and with so many affordable options available, luxury hardwood timber flooring is now available even for those on a budget.
Some other things to consider is where you intend your new timber floor to be installed, as timber floors are not suitable for certain areas of the house, such as wet areas like kitchens and laundries and can get easily damaged, so in these cases you are best to opt for vinyl or laminate as these have the look of natural timbers, but are much more durable and easier to maintain and are perfect for areas which may experience water spills from time to time.
There are many flooring supply stores which sell timber floor supplies and also installation services, but you must first be sure that they supply quality products and that their tradespeople are professional and qualified before letting them work on your project, saving a few bucks is never worth a substandard finished job, especially if you are wanting to increase the value of your property. When choosing a service, be sure to check out the reputation of the business and their reviews to determine whether they are qualified. It is also a must to find a company whose work is full insured and guaranteed for your own piece of mind.
