The options to consider for your new timber floor
We work with a variety of natural timbers as well as engineered products to produce our timber floors. But what you don’t see is the precision and solid construction under the floor. The foundation a timber floor is laid on is the most important influence on the long term quality and durability of a new timber floor.
You might require a self-levelling concrete foundation, or perhaps a plywood base layer to help smooth out small rises and ensure a precisely flat final result. We can also advise on acoustic underlays (which is very important if you are part of an Inner West strata plan), floating floor installations and so much more. Whatever your needs, Know-How Flooring have the expertise to bring you peace of mind. Please understand though, that we can't make a recommendation until we have removed your current floor covering and seen for ourselves the condition beneath.
Inner West locals wanting to add a touch of personality to their homes can do so with our custom services, tailored to your taste, budget and the dimensions of your home. We would be thrilled to work alongside your interior designer or decorator to help bring your vision to life.
How heat, direct sunlight and moisture affect timber floors in the Inner West
We refuse to rush into any new project without understanding exactly how moisture and direct sunlight interact with the location that we are installing the new timber flooring. There is no simple answer. Moisture levels, for example, can change from street to street in Sydney’s Inner West. It takes an expert timber flooring company to correctly plan your installation in advance to help your timber floors look great for years to come.
Every single room needs to be measured and assessed. And based on that data, steps need to be taken to ensure that the timber is laid with the correct tolerances to cope with the natural swelling or shrinkage that will take place from season to season, and with changes in the weather.
Some flooring products can cope with that better than others. We will advise you on how which timber products will be appropriate.
