Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do I need to acclimate the timber flooring before installation?
Yes, acclimating timber flooring is crucial. We recommend storing the timber in the room where it will be installed for 48–72 hours prior to installation. This helps the wood adjust to the room's temperature and humidity, minimising potential expansion or contraction post-installation.
What preparation is required before installation?
Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, level, and free from any debris or contaminants. Any unevenness should be corrected before installation. Additionally, remove any existing floor coverings like carpet or tiles, and ensure the area is free from moisture issues.
Can timber flooring be installed over existing floors?
Timber flooring can be installed over certain existing floors, such as concrete or plywood, provided they are level and in good condition. However, it's not recommended to install over soft coverings like carpet. Each situation is unique, so a site assessment is essential.
How do I maintain my timber floors post-installation?
Regularly sweep or vacuum to remove dirt and grit. Use a damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner specifically designed for timber floors. Avoid excessive water and harsh chemicals. Place mats at entryways to reduce dirt ingress, and use protective pads under furniture legs.
Are there areas where timber flooring shouldn't be installed?
Timber flooring is not recommended for areas with high moisture exposure, such as bathrooms or laundry rooms, due to the risk of warping. For such areas, consider alternatives like vinyl or tile that handle moisture better.
Will there be much disruption during installation?
While we strive to minimise disruption, some noise and dust are inevitable. We recommend removing furniture and valuables from the installation area. Our team uses dust-minimising equipment and ensures the workspace is cleaned daily.
Is an underlay necessary for timber flooring?
Underlay is essential, especially for floating floor installations. It provides sound insulation, moisture protection, and helps smooth out minor subfloor imperfections, ensuring a better finish and prolonging the floor's lifespan.
Can you remove existing floor?
Yes. We offer floor removal and preparation services, including subfloor levelling if required. Speak to our team for a tailored assessment.
