Considering the options for your new timber floors
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 what’s underneath the floors. The way a timber floor is laid is vital to the long term quality and durability.
Depending on your 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 will also advise on acoustic underlays, floating floor installations and so much more. Whatever your needs, we have the expertise to provide peace of mind.
If your property is part of a strata plan in Sydney’s Lower North Shore, strata rules will require you to install an acoustic underlay. We have a great deal of experience navigating strata, and can recommend underlay products that will comply and exceed performance requirements.
In addition to providing standard timber flooring options, Know-How Flooring Sydney also specialise in custom flooring.
Lower North Shore 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 bring your vision to life.
How heat, direct sunlight and moisture can affect timber flooring in the Lower North Shore
Coastal locations such as Sydney’s Lower North Shore regularly have more moisture in the air than further inland. This isn’t a problem in the first weeks following a new installation, but if you haven’t been working with experts it can cause enormous issues further down the track.
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 Lower North Shore. 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.
