Timber floors are a great way to add value to your property. It can, in fact, have a significant impact on its attractiveness. Installing timber floors, of course, necessitates some focus and effort. There are a few things to think about to achieve the greatest results.
Let’s go over some of the things to think about when working on this project to make things a little clearer:
Calculate the Parameters
Make a thorough study of your floor space and try to determine which floor boards would be ideal for it. Is it going to be the standard 80mm-wide floor boards? Or do you believe that wider floor boards, such as those ranging from 130mm to 180mm, will suffice?
Note that if you have a large room, you might wish to use larger boards. However, this may necessitate additional costs. But, then again, the choice is entirely yours.
Choose the Right Colors
Keep in mind that flooring will take up a significant amount of space in your home. As a result, you must ensure that it will work with everything.
Examine the interiors of your surroundings, including your furnishings, windows, walls, and other features. After that, see what kind of flooring might go well with them. Check to see whether their colours may clash. If you already have a style in mind, double-check that the colours complement it. Choose the Right Timber Grade
Suppliers typically offer three types of wood: mild feature, medium feature, and high feature. Thin features timbers are a little cleaner and have fewer veins and knots, but big feature timbers have a more “aged” feel.
Reprocess
Yes, using recycled timber floors is a great way to become “green.” Flooring salvaged from abandoned warehouses and piers is surprisingly durable and environmentally beneficial. If you want to be extra sure, request a moisture test from your timber supplier to check that the recycled floorboards you’re planning to buy can still do the job.
