Timber Flooring
Timber floors are suitable for use in a wide range of both commercial and domestic applications.
The properties of timber offer qualities unlike any other material – flexible in its application, durable yet not harsh underfoot along with a wide range of colours and attractive features.
Timber floors have proven performance from the ballroom through to the warehouse. The range of products allows applications over timber floor frames, on battens over slabs or even directly to the slab surface.
The natural advantages of timber include:
- Brilliantly diverse in colour, grain and texture.
- Aesthetic appearance – from charming traditional to stunning modern.
- Easy to maintain.
- Hard-wearing and long-lasting.
- Non-allergenic and dust free.
- Environmentally friendly.
COMMON TIMBER FLOORING SPECIES
Roasted Hardwoods
Roasted” is a process that has been developed to enhance timber flooring properties. Using a purpose-built kiln, timber is subjected to ultrahigh temperature and humidity to change the molecular structure of the hardwood.
Heating wood to extreme temperatures permanently changes several of its chemical and physical properties.
The colour of the wood fibre changes drastically as the ultrahigh temperature is introduced – the higher the temperature, the darker the change to colour of the fibre is. The colour change is permanent and penetrates the entire piece of hardwood, thus eliminating the need to stain flooring to achieve a rich dark coffee brown colour.
The process reduces normal shrinkage and swelling by up to 50%!
The roasting process greatly increases the stability of flooring. The process reduces the normal shrinkage and swelling that traditional Kiln Dried hardwood can experience by up to 50%, making it an ideal flooring product.
The natural durability is also increased by 3 to 4 times greater than the same species unroasted.
Since no chemicals are required and only water and heat are used, the process is extremely environmentally friendly.
