There’s nothing better than having timber floors in your home! Timber flooring looks sensational, feels incredible and instantly lifts the value and appeal of your home. Of course, sometimes it can be difficult choosing the right timber flooring company, and the last thing you want is a crowd who deliver shoddy workmanship or delays and other headaches.

A good place to start is to make sure the people you go with are part of the Australian Timber Flooring Association (ATFA) and have been around a few years. Choosing a timber flooring company that supplies its own timber is often a great way to keep costs down. It’s also important to get a quote from two or three timber flooring companies.

Once you’ve chosen a proven and reputable company for your timber flooring needs, they will likely be able to give you some great advice on what will work for your home and can introduce you to a range of solid timber flooring species, which may include Australian Chestnut, Blackbutt, Blue Gum, Brush Box, Grey Box, Grey Gum, Grey Iron Bark, Jarrah, Karri, Red Iron Bark, Red Mahogany, Spotted Gum, Tallow Wood, Tasmanian Oak and Turpentine.

Besides solid timber flooring, other options may be floating flooring, laminate flooring or parquetry flooring. Whatever your choice, make sure the people you go with can take care of all facets of any timber flooring job: supply, installation, sanding and polishing.
