Are you in the middle of a housing project in the Hills area but you’re stuck on the floors aspect of what you want to do? Do you have an idea in your mind about what kind of floors you might like, or what may suit your overall aesthetic? When considering these things, a popular choice is the polished wood style. While hardwood timber is an excellent choice, it can be quite pricey and also difficult to maintain.
That’s where we, at Esspada, come in. We have a range of engineered timber to suit your flooring needs. What is engineered timber, you might ask? Well, it’s a composite material that we’ve worked with top manufacturers to produce over a long period of development. What it does is allow you to have that nice wood look that you’re after for your floors, but with a few advantages over its natural counterparts.
Firstly, engineered timber offers you a similar aesthetic quality to natural wood, but with one key difference. The problem with natural wood is that even when treated properly prolonged exposure to moisture will warp and change the look and shape of the wood over time. Even if you’re super vigilant about wear and tear on your floors, this is bound to occur and cause some warping and weird shapes in your natural wood floors.
However, with engineered timber, this risk is significantly reduced. We stock the higher end of quality engineered floors, for example, the well-known brand Elyseum. These floors are known for their durability and won’t swell or warp as drastically as their natural equivalents, and they have an overall more stable structure. This in turn assures a longer life for your floors and less need for maintenance on them.
Another advantage of engineered timber floors in Castle Hill is their affordability. Natural wood while quite beautiful and striking is also far more expensive to source and install than our range of engineered timber. Many in Castle Hill love the option of using engineered floors, as it gives them a similar look to natural floors but at a more competitive price.
While in some circles “engineered” is associated with “synthetic”, with Esspada’s engineered floors this is not the case. Engineered timber flooring, aka floating timber, is made from real wood. The way this works is first with a layer of timber (a lamella), about 2-4mm thick. They are then covered with layers of lacquer or polish and supplemented with a pine, fir or plywood core. The highest quality engineered timber has several layers of UV protection and scratch-resistant natural polish finishes and solid hardwood timber cores for superior stability and structural properties.
Ultimately if you’re looking for good quality engineered timber flooring in the Caste Hill area, Esspada should be your first port of call. Our experienced and dedicated team will be able to point you to the right kind of flooring that will match both your aesthetic goals and your budgetary constraints. Call us today!
