The timber flooring blog.
Timber flooring is timeless. It’ll bring an added warmth and natural style to your interior. There’s no denying that timber floors can be quite the investment, so it’s important that they are cared for appropriately to avoid causing unnecessary damage. Whilst they are relatively low-maintenance, there are a few easy tips to follow to make sure they are kept looking and performing at their best.
The final timber floor covering will only be as good as its underlying subfloor. The subfloor itself can directly impact the quality and performance of the finished timber flooring. More specifically, ATFA guidelines indicate that the level of the subfloor should not deviate more than 3mm over a 3m expanse in any direction. Regardless of the timber floor covering you choose, some degree of sub floor preparation will be required. For example, in cases where we find a plywood or yellow-tongue subfloor, the most we typically have to do is rough sand to create a surface suitable for bonding of adhesives.
