Brisbane Engineered Timber Flooring

For local homeowners looking to give their abode a facelift without breaking the bank, Brisbane engineered timber flooring providers offer the perfect solution. 

While many of us are prone to daydreaming about having authentic hardwood timber floors as a staple in our homes, more often than not they simply just don’t fit into the budget. However, as technology advances, so do the alternatives. Queensland home owners now have many choices when it comes to replicating the look and feel of the ‘real thing’, which may help to explain the rise in popularity for Brisbane engineered timber flooring solutions. 

The Benefits Of Engineered Timber Flooring 

As a modern alternative to organic timber, engineered timber flooring has a top layer of natural hardwood beneath several layers of protective coatings, which gives it the same luxurious look and feel of the solid timber floorboards. Along with being famously hardy, engineered timber is the perfect solution for high traffic areas such as your kitchen or living room. The great thing about timber and hardwood is that it has been proven to never really go out of style, so demand for the lookalike engineered timber flooring is showing no signs of slowing down. 

Engineered timber flooring is the best alternative to solid hardwood. While it’s made from real wood, it’s also strategically manufactured to optimise performance as a flooring material, with each plank usually consisting of three separate layers – 

  • A protected, lacquered layer of aesthetic hardwood
  • A core of plantation-grown sustainable hevea
  • A backing of pine or spruce

The specific design of engineered timber means it offers a range of performance benefits over solid hardwood, such as stability and sustainability. From basic flooring to feature walls, joinery or even countertops, the great thing about engineered timber floorboards is that they can be incorporated into your home in exactly the same way as any other traditional hardwood. However, if you’re still not converted, some of the primary benefits for Queenslanders looking for Brisbane engineered timber flooring include the following perks. 

Increased Durability  – The structure and hevea core of engineered timber is specifically designed to mitigate the effects moisture can have on the wood, meaning engineered hardwood is more stable in high-humidity environments. This spells great news for Brisbanites concerned about how our local weather might affect timber. 

Authentic Timber Look – While engineered timber may look the same as organic timber, they are completely different internally. Engineered timber planks are also the more sustainable option when compared to slow-growing aesthetic hardwoods, but that doesn’t mean that homeowners have to sacrifice on quality. 

Budget Friendly Option – Arguably the greatest appeal for many renovators is the budget friendly price point of engineered timber, particularly when compared to it’s hardwood counterparts. Thanks to the easy to install “lock in” mechanics of the floating floorboards, a thrifty homeowner may also take the DIY route to save on labour costs. 

Floating floors is a broad term used to describe flooring materials that don’t need to be nailed or glued to a subfloor. The term usually refers to the installation method, but is often used synonymously with laminate flooring. However, these days it also applies to a wide range of other floor systems, with engineered timber solutions now on offer as well. 

Regardless, it’s the ease of the installation process and relatively affordable price point that has made engineered timber floors one of the go-to materials for renovators and DIY enthusiasts right around Australia. For Queenslanders looking to get their hands on Brisbane engineered timber flooring materials, it’s always worth having a chat to the professionals to ensure your choice suits your project – but where do you find them?
