Important Information
Scheduling
The building site must be at lockup stage and the timber floor should be installed after the tiler and electrician but before the final coat of painting and the carpet installation.
Conditions
Windows that expose the timber floor to direct sunlight should be covered to prevent timber movement. Allow for ventilation throughout the home and your timber floor can be greatly affected by an air conditioner. Please ask if you would like to know more.
Site Requests
The power source needs to be no greater than 15 metres from the furthest point of flooring as power drain from long leads can damage equipment. The concrete slab needs to be clear of any large objects and needs to be scraped and cleaned.
Polishing Stage
During this process we shut the house up so as to stop most of the dust in the air from settling on the floor. The site must be free from all inside trades during this process.
The Final Finish
You may chose from different finishes. Matt, Semi Gloss, Gloss, High Gloss and water based are a few of them, please ask if you would like to know more.
Timber Feature
Natural features such as gum vein, birds eye and pin holes are natural characteristics of timber flooring, making each floor unique. It is important to understand that no two floors are the same, even if they are from the same species, the same age and the same area, there will still be variation in colour, tone and marking.
Gaps
The timber is laid up tight with very few gaps if any. Timber however is a natural product and can therefore gain or lose moisture according to the environment. The visual affects of this are that in winter the boards will lay up tight and in summer the boards may shrink leaving very small gaps between the boards. Other factors may contribute to movement in you timber floor such as air conditioners, timber species and the width of the boards.
Post Installation
After the installation of the timber, 7-10 days is the minimum that the floor should be left before the sanding process to allow for the glues to dry out and the timber to acclimatize, yet leaving the floor for a longer period of time may be more beneficial.
