Timber flooring is generally considered a good option due to its durability. Moreover, it adds warmth and aesthetics to your floor. Timber floorings are usually solid timber (Hardwood and Softwood) and engineered timber flooring.
Solid timber floors are made entirely of wood. Hardwood floors are manufactured from superior quality woods like maple, walnut, oak and mahogany. These wood types have a higher density and durable nature and are an expensive option. Softwood floors are made from juniper, pine, fir and spruce trees and are more economical and easier to work with.
Engineered timber is specifically manufactured to be used as floors. It is a stable option and comprises three layers: the top, the core, and the backing. Hardwood floors may require additional maintenance like buffing every 4 to 5 years apart from regular cleaning and the regular application of professional wood cleaning products.
