It lasts a lifetime  

Invest in a timber floor and it can last a lifetime – which can work out more cost effective than some of the alternatives.

Versatile

Whatever the style of your home, it will only be improved by choosing a timber floor. Whether you are going for an understated look or bold and full of character, there will be a timber to suit.

Healthy homes

Timber floors can also moderate humidity levels, which improves air quality and there are reported health benefits achieved by using natural materials such as timber in your home. Timber can contribute to feelings of wellbeing and can reduce feelings of stress.

Unique appearance

Because they are natural, each timber floorboard is unique, so no two floors will ever be the same. Not many flooring options can make this claim!

Low maintenance

A quick sweep or antistatic mop will pick up most of the dirt, and a swish with a damp mop is all the attention your floors will need.

Sustainable

Most timber flooring comes from sustainable forests, and timber stores carbon for life, removing it from the atmosphere. The wood will also break down naturally when finally disposed of and it acts as a natural insulator in your home, reducing energy costs.
