Choosing a hardwood floor for your home is undoubtedly a big decision. Many of us are unaware of the vast range of woods available in the market. When you dig in for your hardwood floor search, the most popular and best option is Oak timber. Oak wood has been used for centuries and is known for its durability and beautiful appearance. Unlike fancy floors and low-quality hardwoods, Oak flooring requires less attention and lasts longer.

Timber grading refers to the sorting of timber floorboards based on their features. Many people are unaware of the different grades of wood available for flooring.

The existing timber flooring in this house was previously polished, Cypress Pine. As part of a home renovation, the total floor area was increased by laying new pine flooring into the extension. As is often the case with new timber flooring, the wooden floorboards can be lighter in colour and this would have been obviously different when sanded and polished. To remedy this, the new timber flooring was sanded, and then a coloured stain coat was applied. Some time is spent in the mixing of stain colours before the stain is applied, to ensure the coating is a close colour match to the original timber floor.

This old timber pine floor in a New Farmhouse had many timber floorboards that had been previously infected with timber borer. This often compromises the structural integrity of the timber floorboard and also renders the floorboard unpleasant in appearance. Firstly the timber floor is sanded back and any damaged floorboards are identified for replacement. The old damaged floorboards are then cut out of the timber floor and replaced in such a fashion so as to leave no indication of replacement. The pine timber floorboards were replaced with the same type of timber. When new timber is used it will always be much lighter in color than the original old flooring, as seen in the first photo. New timber flooring is predominately used for floorboard replacement and repairs, as finding matching old boards is difficult and more expensive.

This new house under construction in the Brisbane suburb of Sherwood had new secret nailed Blackbutt flooring and Blackbutt stairs laid throughout the entire house. Blackbutt flooring is a blonde colored hardwood and a popular choice as it has a lighter tone of color. However, when the blonde colored hardwood is finished with a polyurethane timber floor finish, the lighter pale tone of the timber is gradually lost to a yellow/orange color as the polyurethane yellows with age. This is a result of UV light affecting the polyurethane timber floor finish.

There was a time when customer expectation was that a polished timber floor must be glossy, and the glossier the better. Now, however, the lower sheen satin timber floor Polyurethane finishes are very popular. There are a few reasons for this.
