It is not recommended, however, for use in laundries, bathrooms, or other rooms prone to water spills. A damp environment can alter the appearance of solid timber and even cause irreparable damage in some timber flooring cases. Unfinished solid timber flooring will be more expensive than unfinished timber. However, you will not be paying for the products and labour involved with finishing timber flooring post-installation.
With a floated floor, you only have the cost of the floor, the underlay and any required trims to consider. This makes a floated floor a less expensive option than a direct stuck timber floor. Unless you are incredibly handy and have done your homework, it would not be advisable to install a direct stuck timber floor on your own. There is more than just the application to be considered in this, with working time and bond strength of the adhesive to consider. If you absolutely must tackle this yourself, it is advisable that you practice this process before you start on your own floor.

Cost effective - Carpet Court engineered timber flooring prices compare favourably with solid timber flooring. Thickness directly affects the price, and you can budget accordingly. In many ways, engineered timber flooring requires care and considerations similar to hardwood flooring. Caring for engineered timber mostly comes down to paying attention to which cleaners you choose. Avoid using generic floor cleaners or detergents as these may cause permanent damage to your flooring.
Engineered timber is also highly resilient, low maintenance but offers just a little more luxury for your money, displaying a refined elegance and a sophisticated finish. You can’t beat the warmth and lustre of natural, hardwood Australian or European timber. The layered construction of laminate floating flooring carries a hard-wearing surface layer which provides a high level of scratch and fade resistance. This versatile flooring solution is particularly suited to kitchens, living and dining rooms, and hallways because of its high level of resilience and ease of maintenance. Wood flooring can provide continuity throughout the entire home, from living rooms and bedrooms to dining and cooking spaces.
The difference between the 2 product categories is often confused, as the different layers in an Engineered timber are ‘Laminated’ together. The product is supplied raw and kiln dried usually in random lengths, and requires a period of acclimatization before it is laid. Because the timber is supplied, there is an array of finishes that can be used from polyurethane lacquer, Oil, Hard Wax Oil and others.
The choices are all yours for high quality timber flooring products at Carpet Court. Our engineered flooring is second-to-none, with lots of colours, tones and styles to choose from. The attractive ‘Stockman’s Ridge’ engineered flooring collection, for example, is available in Jarrah, Iron Bark, Brush Box, Sydney Blue Gum, Spotted Gum and Blackbutt. An engineered floor conserves precious hardwood timber by using only around one third as much hardwood as a solid timber floor. This revolutionary flooring is hugely popular in homes and businesses in Sydney, Melbourne and Australia-wide. Engineered timber flooring consists of a pure timber veneer over a multilayered plywood core.
Always follow both the Timber Supplier’s and Adhesive Supplier’s installation requirements. A Direct Stuck floor can be sanded and recoated in exactly the same way as a solid timber floor and just as many times. A Floated floor cannot be sanded successfully, as the bounce in the floor leaves Chatter marks in the floor.
Another Red Timber, Blue gum tends to start life quite pink-ish, and once it has oxidized, tends to go to a medium to dark red colour. The grain structure is typically quite consistent, and does not vary too much in colour when compared with Spotted Gum, although variation always exists. If you are concerned if your flooring was harvested responsibly or not, you will want to look at certifications prior to purchasing flooring.
