Timber Flooring FAQs
Is timber flooring suitable for all areas of the home?
Timber flooring is ideal for most areas of the home especially living rooms, hallways, bedrooms and dining areas where you can really enjoy the warmth and character it brings. However, in spaces that are exposed to high moisture, like bathrooms or laundries we’d generally recommend avoiding solid timber as it can react to moisture over time. Engineered timber can be a better option in those environments, as it’s designed to handle changes in temperature and humidity a little better, but if you’re unsure what’s right for your space, our team can help point you in the right direction.
What’s the difference between solid hardwood and engineered timber floors?
This is a question we get asked a lot! Solid hardwood is exactly what it sounds like, which is floorboards cut from solid timber, giving you that traditional premium finish that can last for generations with proper care.
Engineered timber on the other hand is made from a top layer of real timber, bonded to a stable, multi-layered core. Visually, they’re almost identical once installed, but engineered timber offers a bit more stability, especially in homes that experience temperature fluctuations. It’s also often easier and quicker to install, which is why many of our customers choose it for their renovations.
How do I maintain my timber floors?
Looking after timber floors is actually pretty straightforward. Regular sweeping or vacuuming will help remove dust and grit, which can scratch the surface over time. We also recommend using a slightly damp mop (never soaking wet) when cleaning, to avoid introducing too much moisture. Placing rugs or mats in high traffic areas can help protect the finish, and felt pads under furniture legs will prevent scratches. Depending on the type of timber flooring you’ve chosen, occasional refinishing or resealing might also be needed to keep your floors looking fresh, but we’re always happy to provide advice specific to your product.
Is timber flooring environmentally friendly?
Timber flooring can definitely be an eco-friendly choice, especially if you choose sustainably sourced products, which is something we focus on here at Skilled Floors. Many of our timber products come from responsibly managed forests, while engineered timber in particular, uses less hardwood compared to solid timber, which helps conserve natural resources. If sustainability is a priority for you, just let us know and we can talk you through the options we have available.
Can timber floors be sanded and refinished?
Yes, particularly if you’ve chosen solid hardwood flooring. One of the biggest benefits of solid timber is that it can be sanded back and refinished multiple times over its life, which means you can restore its appearance or even change its colour down the track. Engineered timber can sometimes be sanded as well, but this depends on the thickness of the top timber layer and is also something we’ll help you understand when selecting your floors.
