Carpet, Timber, Vinyl & Laminate Flooring Alexandria

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. Parquetry is a style of flooring that is put together by arranging small sydney timber flooring slats in distinct, repeating patterns. Hilux Flooring is proud to present you with the finest quality timber floors and decking products. We have a beautiful range of engineered oak, timber and bamboo flooring available to architects, designers, builders and renovators.
Additionally, while not really very popular in Australia, Oiling is a viable option. While this is more regular maintenance, you will never have to go through the process of sanding he floor, and scratches can be instantly buffed out with a small amount of oil. Because Oil nourishes a timber, a floor coated this way has an indefinite life if it is maintained. One of the greatest benefits of having parquetry flooring installed in your home is water resistance. As there are more, smaller individual slats, they are less prone to expanding and contracting in humid areas. As such, you may find that modern parquetry flooring is the preferred option to a traditional laminate plank style.

The earliest evidence of Chevron in use comes from Ancient Greece, but as a flooring style, it has its roots in the culture of the Norman elite in Medieval France. Equipped with modern techniques and the state-of-the-art machinery for floor sanding, we have  been proudly catering to the needs of our esteemed customers for many years. In an era where quacks are easy to encounter and promises not kept, we serve our clients to standards that others envy.
Traditional, hard-wearing floors with beautiful patterns that bring style and class to your property with the luxurious beauty of real wood in a range of colour variations. Utilising high-quality and vibrant selections of timber, the Aspire Floors team markedly enhance the appeal and décor of your home through our range of precisely cut timber floorboards. Not only do the team here at WOODCUT aim to supply you with the right floor for the right space but we also are here to help our clients understand everything they need to know from the start. We achieve this by heating them under UV lights, which crystalise the lacquer or oils, hardening them and ensuring a robust top coating.

All coatings by WOODCUT are designed to be cured by a UV light, which crystallises the oil or lacquer and forms extra protection on the boards. On the contrary, natural oil finishes can be extremely porous and require regular maintenance. In addition to the cost of the timber floor, bonding to a sub-floor first requires preparation. If the surface is concrete, it will require a vapour barrier as you do not have the underlay with this built in. If you are going over top of a second storey yellow-tongue floor, you will need to screw sheets of ply to the floor first to allow the adhesive to bond correctly. This is in addition to the adhesive which can itself, be quite expensive.
Unlike other types of flooring, there is no need to apply sealants or refinishing agents in the first few years, but these floors can be maintained well and easily. Herringbone flooring is ideal for homes where pets and children are present, due to the ease of clean up, and low allergy response to real wood. There is a lot of 'hidden' and fundamentally important work that goes into a timber floor, and this work often comes with an undesirable price tag, if done correctly as aforementioned. The benefit of choosing a Herringbone pattern is the timeless nature of its design. A wood floor has always had high aesthetic value in terms of design, from the French chateaus of the Renaissance, to the entrance halls of Dutch tradesman and parlours of Medici’s Rome. Although Herringbone and Chevron are two styles of parquetry, they are in fact very different flooring designs.

While very successful from the sake of stability, they have not been particularly successful in the sales domain because of the perceived lack of durability, and inability to be refinished. 6mm veneers came along later, but required a reengineering of the lower layers. As Australian Species timbers are harder than Oak veneers, so the grading is less important to how the veneer will hold up over time. However, many people like the look of Spotted Gum with its massive colour variation and Feature Grade Blackbutt with its insect trails. Veneers of all grade will come out of the same tree, and so as far as quality and durability, they are all the same.
Our team at Hilux Flooring is ready to help you get started with the process! When an engineered timber floor is stuck to the sub-floor, it is indistinguishable from a solid timber floor of the same species. It will have the same feel and sound, and to even the most educated Floor-o-phile, will be indistinguishable. Many different manufacturers use many different types of cores in engineered timber floors, and this can be a very deep area to delve into. These are also stunning parquetry floors designed to be installed pre-finished.
This is fine if you want to recolour the floor, but if you want to keep the same colour it will need to be reapplied before the floor is lacquered. Additionally, almost all Oak flooring and recently much of the Aussie Species flooring sold is hand scraped. If the floor is sanded flat, then this process will have to be done again, and is another expense. For a 14mm timber product (this includes 13-15mm timbers,) the average veneer thickness is 3-4mm. This is often a nominal thickness and not exact in every case as boards must be sanded to uniform heights so that they fit together seamlessly.
