WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LAMINATE FLOORING?

The laminate floors are designed to provide you with quick installation. Simply click your floor together, and because there is no adhesive used, you can start to use your floor as soon as you have finished the installation saving some days on installation.

CAN I INSTALL A TIMBER OR LAMINATE FLOOR MYSELF?

Yes! These floors are designed for the homemaker to install, together with an installation kit and an instructional video, you can install your own floor and save money on labour.

ENGINEERED FLOORING

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AN ENGINEERED FLOOR?

These floors can be laid over any hard surface eg: ceramic tiles, vinyl etc, because they are pre-coated there will be no strong odour causing you to stay away from home for hours. Simply lay the floor, wait four hours for adhesive to dry in tongue and groove, then move your furniture back onto the floor.

CAN I RE-COAT MY ENGINEERED FLOOR?

You can re-coat your timber engineered floor as needed, depending on the wear and tear; it could be 6 or 7 years between re-coats. Laminate flooring cannot be coated, it is only a picture of timber impregnated with melamine and microscopic granules of aluminium oxide and cannot be coated at all.

WHICH IS MORE DURABLE - TIMBER OR LAMINATE?

You must remember that it is natural timber on the engineered floor, therefore, as solid timber, the timber is prone to scratching or denting, this all depends on the treatment of your timber floor from high traffic, animals or droppages of heavy objects. Laminate, however, is very durable as it is not natural timber, the war factor on laminates are quite incredible.

CAN I INSTALL TIMBER FLOORS ANYWHERE IN MY HOME?

It is recommended by manufactures that installation of timber flooring in the home excludes the wet areas ie: bathrooms and laundrys etc. Contact with water or moisture will cause any form of timber floor to react, swelling, cupping etc.
