Supply and Installation
Choosing
the right wood for your home is extremely important; you will want
your new floor to reflect the design and functionality of the
space. Primarily you want the wood you choose to be your
taste and style. You will need to think about the location of
the floor as this could eliminate certain species and favour
others. Other factors to consider are under floor heating and the
amount of traffic the floor will receive. You may also want to
consider the sourcing and supplying of the wood. Today we often
hear the term “floor miles,” in relation to how far your timber has
travelled. Timber harvested from responsibly managed forests that
comply with FSC and PEFC certification schemes are readily
available. In addition you have the option of reclaimed wood
and bamboo. There are many considerations, not forgetting the most
important one, your budget.
At
Authentic Wood Floors we endeavour to make this process as easy and
hassle free as possible. Our initial consultation will help
us understand what you like, your preferences, ideas and the budget
you have. There are many different species of wood available
and numerous finishing options. We will provide you with
samples and additional references for further research if required.
We offer our expertise in helping you make an informed decision. We
are confident that we can recommend the correct flooring that will
fit all your criteria.
Sanding and Refinishing
Wood
floors are wear resistant, flexible and functional and the most
cost effective long term flooring option for our homes. But they
require care in order to maintain their unique properties and
beautiful appearance. Quality floors properly maintained can
last for hundreds of years. Periodically it may be necessary
to sand and refinish your floors.
At
Authentic Wood Floors we will sand and refinish your home using
modern and dust contained equipment. We will discuss all the
finishing options with you. We aim to limit the disruption and
inconvenience by giving realistic expectations and time scales. We
will advise you on how to care and maintain your
floors.
