PARQUETRY TIMBER FLOORING

Parquetry timber flooring is precision-manufactured to remarkably accurate dimensions in a modern machinery environment, resulting in minimal variation between block sizes. These blocks can be installed in a variety of patterns, including custom designs, allowing for endless creative possibilities.

The result is an exceptionally uniform and visually striking floor.

One of the main advantages of parquet flooring is its ability to minimize issues commonly associated with laying wooden floors over larger areas or across multiple rooms. Traditional wooden floors are prone to shrinkage and expansion due to changes in temperature and humidity within a room, which can affect their performance.

Parquetry, however, consists of dry, narrow, and precisely machined wood pieces. Unlike traditional flooring, parquet is installed with the entire underside glued to the substrate, rather than being nailed or having the edges glued together. This installation method minimizes movement, resulting in a floor with minimal shrinkage or expansion, even in fluctuating environmental conditions.

TIMBER FLOORING

Wood or timber flooring is a valuable addition to any home, enhancing its beauty and increasing property value. Timber flooring’s neutral color and style make it a versatile choice that complements current decorating trends. With a range of finishes, wooden flooring can be protected from damage such as stains, moisture, and mechanical wear, making it one of the most practical flooring options.

Solid wood flooring creates a warmer living environment and offers a variety of wood options such as Oak, Birch, Beech, Ash, Iroko, Maple, Walnut, Merbau, Cherry, and Bamboo, each with its own unique characteristics. Pre-finished flooring comes factory-finished, while unfinished floors require sanding and sealing after installation, offering flexibility but requiring additional time and possibly expense.

Advantages of pre-finished flooring include providing a continuous surface finish and enhanced hygiene, while disadvantages may include extra time, inconvenience, and potential additional costs. Hardwood flooring can be supplied in various styles such as long lengths, wide boards, narrow boards, random lengths, block, herringbone, rustic, modern, wavy boards, hand-distressed, and micro-beveled for added character.

Different finishes like fumed can create various effects, and due to the nature of wood, each board will have unique characteristics including grain pattern, knots, and color variations, adding to its charm and individuality.

LAMINATE AND HARDWOOD FLOORING

A floating floor is a type of flooring that does not require nails or glue to attach it to the subfloor. Instead, floating floors are typically installed as wide panels, making installation quicker and easier compared to traditional methods.

These floors can be installed by either gluing the tongue and groove together or using a “click together” system that requires no glue. They are not mechanically fastened to the subfloor.

Most floating floors can be installed over various surfaces such as ceramic tile, concrete slabs, vinyl flooring, and even areas with slightly higher moisture content, with the use of a vapor barrier like 4-6 mil plastic and foam padding, especially in tropical regions. They are particularly suitable for spaces with multiple floor coverings that are difficult to remove or may contain asbestos.

Advantages of laminate flooring include:

– Cost-effective compared to solid wood flooring.
– Easier to install.
– Low maintenance.
– Practical for everyday use.
– Wear-resistant.
– Easy to clean.
– Less prone to problems of expansion and contraction.

From a dust perspective, some dust may result from undercutting door casings or preparing subfloors, depending on their condition. Preparation work may involve scraping concrete subfloors and possibly grinding high areas to ensure a successful installation. In the case of wood subfloors, sanding down high areas using a belt sander, edger, or planer may be necessary, especially where floor joists or plywood sheets meet.

WOOD CEILINGS & WALLS

Interior and exterior wood ceilings and walls not only add warmth and natural beauty to any space but also create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

Whether used indoors or outdoors, the rich textures and organic tones of wood bring a sense of harmony and comfort to the environment.

In interior spaces, wood ceilings and walls can enhance the architectural character of a room, providing visual interest and a connection to nature.

Similarly, in outdoor settings, such as covered patios or verandas, wood ceilings and walls create an inviting ambiance, blending seamlessly with the surrounding landscape and offering a tranquil retreat for relaxation and enjoyment.

MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance is essential to preserve the appearance and longevity of wooden floors. By following simple guidelines, you can keep your wooden floor looking attractive year after year. Here are some tips for effective maintenance:

Daily Maintenance:
1. Sweep or vacuum the floor daily to remove dust, dirt, and debris. Pay special attention to high-traffic areas.
2. Use entrance mats both inside and outside to collect dirt, sand, and grit from shoes before they are tracked onto the floor.
3. Promptly clean up any liquid spills to prevent staining and the accumulation of dirt.

Regular Maintenance:
1. Use a suitable wood cleaner to remove dirt and spills, ensuring the surface is thoroughly clean and free of smudges.
2. When necessary, clean the floor with a damp cloth or mop. Avoid using excessive water, as most wood floors are sensitive to moisture.

By incorporating these maintenance practices into your routine, you can help protect your wooden floor and keep it looking its best for years to come.
