Timber Floor Sydney
Hard flooring is always popular. It is easy to sweep clean, and if you choose the right style, if the floor matches the room décor, then the results look great.
There are several options for hard floors.
Timber Floor Sydney
Solid Hardwood Timber is a very reliable choice. It long lasting and resilient. It also gives a sense of old time luxury to a room. Many old homes used timber floors, and they still look good a century later.
Timber floors can be swept clean, or vacuumed with a soft brush attachment. Not only is this quick and easy, it is also allergen free. Unlike carpets there are no fibres to trap dust, pollen or other particles. So when the floor is swept clean it really is clean, and hygienic.
Timber has a woodgrain pattern. This is something that many find appealing. Woodgrain has a semi-random pattern that avoids the sterile feeling of something that is too plain, and avoids the messy feeling of something completely random. This is part of the organic feel of wood.
While the main body of a timber floor lasts for decades there can be a problem with superficial damage like scratching. But even here there is an advantage with timber flooring as surface damage can be removed by re-sanding the surface. Many homes with timber floors are re-sanded every ten years, and the floors still last a century.
Timber floors can be stained a variety of colours to suit individual taste and décor. They can be darkened quite easily, or even lightened with a lime wash.
