Dedicated To Engineered Timber Flooring In Brisbane
Why Do Our Customers Love Engineered Timber Flooring?
The Look Of Hardwood Without The Hassle
There is no denying the beauty and timeless look of hardwood flooring, however, if you have a smaller budget to work with, you might want to consider engineered timber flooring instead. In fact, more and more people are choosing engineered timber flooring in Brisbane, and for very good reason.
On the surface, engineered timber flooring looks extremely similar to traditional hardwood floors, and feels just like timber. You have similar grains, colours, and textures, but the core difference is what it’s made of.
Understanding Engineered Timber Flooring
Hardwood timber floors are made from thick planks of timber which are glued or nailed to a subfloor. Natural hardwood is then sanded, finished, and polished to give a smooth finish.
In comparison, engineered timber flooring has just a thin layer of natural hardwood on top of a high-quality engineered core, usually made of plywood. Because engineered timber flooring uses only about a third of the amount of timber that a solid timber floor does, it is viewed as a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way of having timber flooring.
If you desire wood look flooring in your kitchen, laundry, or throughout most of your home, engineered wood flooring is the better choice for areas that may deal with moisture. And at Harris Timber, we offer lots of colours, tones, and styles to choose from. You can also select light, medium, and dark timber colours in warm and cool tones, in widths and thicknesses to suit your budget.
