HARDWOOD TIMBER Flooring Gold Coast
If you prefer the natural, rich beauty of a genuine timber floor. Upscale and elegant, hardwood flooring creates a warm and inviting look. Hardwood flooring comes in two categories, solid wood and engineered wood. Solid Wood, the most common consists of solid one-piece boards. Solid wood flooring is usually nailed to a sub-floor of wood. Solid wood is not recommended for basements or below-grade installations. Engineer’s wood consists of two or more layers of wood laminated together. The top layer is usually a hardwood veneer of varying thickness. The lower layer is a softwood backing. Most engineered wood floors are glued down rather than nailed down. Some engineered wood flooring applications are installed as "floating floors", meaning the edges of the panels are glued together but not attached directly to the sub-floor. Engineered wood floors can be glued directly to a concrete slab making it suitable for below grade applications.
Most wood flooring is available in three formats, with the most common being the wood strip. Also available are parquet squares or wider width planks. Most engineered wood floors are pre-finished. Unfinished floors installed on-site allow you many choices for types of finishes and colours.
