Browse Forums Flooring & Floor Covering 1 Feb 29, 2016 9:45 pm We're very undecided on solid timber vs engineered timber flooring. Does anyone have any advice? Also any recommendations on flooring places in Perth would be much appreciated. We've been to a few showrooms, but there seems to be a significant difference in prices for seemingly the same thing.

Be prepared to be bombarded with advertising over the next few days. They are relentless and will somehow even get your phone number. Edit your post quickly and remove the keywords recommendations, Perth, and floorboards. They scan this forum for cities, (PERTH) topics (floorboards) and keywords (recommendation). Anyway, in my opinion, the flooring stores in this city are all scoundrels. Look for someone with a website that indicates how long they have been in business. The longest in business would likely be the best value for money. There are so many Chinese import companies with marketing their primary goal and no intention to give customer service. The products are fine, but to them you are a walking dollar sign. Re: Hardwood and engineered flooring Perth 3Jul 02, 2016 11:15 am i went through this dilemma myself. Essentially engineered flooring is just that - engineered. it is cheaper (most of the time) than solid timber flooring. And you can get some more variety of combinations of staining etc.. probably easier to install and replace bits. I went with solid timber flooring. plank on ply. spotted gum. when it gets laid, i will post a few pics. i just prefer the look of solid timber flooring. it just looks better and more 'natural'. each to their own i guess. price might be a big factor in your decision. try northside timber flooring. they seem to be decent price wise and certainly not over the top. Re: Hardwood and engineered flooring Perth 4Jul 08, 2016 12:05 pm I just logged onto the forum to ask the same question. I'm wondering if anyone has photos of an engineered floor laid? The price difference isn't huge ($186/ sq m for engineered vs $215 for solid) but engineered seems easier and I've been told it's good for our climatic conditions (boards will be in full sun in some areas). Anyway, the samples look good but I'd love to hear from someone who has laid engineered boards....we are looking at spotted gum. Re: Hardwood and engineered flooring Perth 5Jul 08, 2016 2:52 pm I got my floors supplied and installed for around 130 per square metre. Great looking floors and very nicely finished. I looked at spotted gum and ended up with a much harder solid wood that looks amazing.

I looked at spotted gum and ended up with a much harder solid wood that looks amazing. Wow, that's a good price. Would you mind telling me what wood and where you bought it from (even if you PM me..). I've already copied your toilets...and went to the plumbing supplier you recommended! Price was very good.... Thank you...again!

I'm currently resurfacing the hardwood floors and when removing the old layers that there's a long dark line running across the boards. Does anyone know what or… 0 12770 Thanks Simon, I guess I'm no concerned with the volume of the noise rather that dead and hollow sound and feel that is associated with floating floors. But I'm not sure… 3 6141 |
