Variation Disclaimer

Timber is a natural material. Variation in appearance and properties is an enticing part of designing and building with real timber! Each fibre in each plank in each project is uniquely designed by nature. We strive in good faith to present you with the most accurate portrayal of what you can expect in your timber by using images, past job portfolios, detailed information and samples, the other part of this responsibility is advising you that your timber’s appearance WILL vary from these guides. Please use this information as a guide only.

• Ray flecks (not an undesirable feature)
This product comes in ABCD grade; with a wider range of features having mixed cleaner boards and moderately featured boards. It is roughly equivalent to a Standard & Better Grade and can be thought of as the top 50% cleanest boards.

Installation Summary

Engineered oak floorboards are typically suitable for floating or direct fixing (gluing) over a flat, dry, waterproofed and structural subfloor such as plywood, particleboard, existing timber floorboards or concrete slabs. They come pre-finished with a tongue & groove system and are designed to be DIY friendly for most normal dwellings. When installed as a floating floor, a bead of wood glue is applied to the groove, keeping the boards together. NEVER INSTALL ENGINEERED HARDWOOD IN WET AREAS (BATHROOM / LAUNDRY) OR OUTDOORS. If you are unsure about installation, we encourage you to contact us with questions.

Sustainability

Timber is a truly renewable resource, a mature tree is harvested, a young tree grows in its place and a few decades later is ready for harvesting again. European forests are carefully, conservatively managed to ensure a responsible amount of wood is harvested. Engineered floorboards consist of a core made from either plantation plywood or Hevea, a recovery timber from rubberwood plantations. Timber uses a relatively small amount of energy during processing compared to other building materials like metals and concrete, the timber itself is a carbon storer and has a long working life.

Laminate FloorsStylish flooring that can withstand life’s abuses. Laminates offer superior scratch resistance and affordability with realistic decors. Laminates consist of an imitation digital timber print impregnated with a resilient melamine resin coating over a HDF base. The melamine gives the highest scratch resistance of any floorboard type and can be manufactured with realistic timber textures. Laminate is also quite affordable compared to other flooring types. Unfortunately, the market is flooded with cheap and nasty laminates that race to the bottom of price and quality. These inferior quality laminates usually fall apart within a few years. We only use good quality laminates from manufacturers that we have been working with for many years. Some of our brands are so robust that they are suitable for withstanding super high traffic commercial applications, let alone your house.

Bamboo FloorsAn alternative flooring material, Bamboo is very similar to timber and has some properties that make it well suited to flooring. Strand woven Bamboo consists of bamboo strips entwined together under high pressure and heat to form an extremely strong and hard product. Bamboo being a woody plant retains a warm comfortable feel underfoot and the randomness of the strand pattern give quite a natural un-artificial figure. The hardness of Bamboo is comparable to some of the hardest commercial timbers used worldwide. Because of the great strength of Bamboo, extra care is needed during installation to counteract expansion stresses.
