NEWS ARTICLE ARCHIVESHardwood timber flooring. Beautiful, durable and sustainable from Northern Rivers Timber
Domestic and commercial styles of design have changed and developed throughout the decades and the choices available for floor coverings have increased seemingly exponentially. Timber floors have always been held in high regard for their warmth, durability and versatility, but they too have moved with the times, changing and adapting to market trends. Thanks to plantation timbers and sustainable forest management, the Australian hardwood timber industry continues to boom.
In recent times, homeowners particularly are more aware and informed of the options available to them and are more active in their research to find a floor
that meets their requirements in functionality, durability and most of all, appearance. The combined benefits of hardwood often far outweigh those of other floors and with a wide range of species, colours, grades and sizes to choose from, Australian native hardwood floors are often the most obvious choice. Unlike so many other floors, a hardwood floor will be around long after we are gone. They can be resurfaced many times to look like new, no matter how many stilettos have walked on them or how much furniture has been dragged across them. They are easy to clean and do not trap dust, dirt and mites, making them excellent for children and allergy sufferers. They do not wear thin, stain or hold odours like carpet, or crack, lift or feel hard and cold underfoot like tiles. They can be used throughout the house and suit kitchens, living areas, bedrooms and high traffic areas alike. Commercial use is no problem for a hardwood floor. Co-ordinating stairs, bench tops and mouldings is simple and with the use of hardwood decking for external living areas, the visual impact of increased space is dramatic. Polished floors hold a timeless elegance that increases the value of your home, and Australian native timbers are one of the world's truly renewable resources.
