Solid Wood Flooring Options

Gerrand Floorings have strong relationships with many solid timber sources - allowing them to obtain the best product (species, thickness, finish) for the client's needs and requirements at the time. These projects require finishing with sanding and the application of polyurethane to finish and are generally the most expensive option when it comes to timber choices. Timber thickness varies from project to project but the most common thickness is the choice of a 19mm product.

In the recent past finishes such as dark staining, lime washing or bleaching were popular on solid T&G floor installations but now we are seeing a move more back to a traditional finish. Those wanting the look of a dark stain, wash or bleach tend to more towards an engineered product that already has the look required without the additional investment required to achieve it.

The end finish has a range of options too - moisture cured or water based polyurethane, oil or wax finish to name a few - each have their own features and benefits that we are happy to go over with you.

Engineered Timber

For those still wanting the look of a true timber without investing in a solid product, other options on the market are engineered timber products that still retain a top layer of solid true product and generally come pre-finished. These also come in a variety of thicknesses - Gerrand Floorings recommend nothing thinner than a 12mm product.

Timber or Wood Look-a-like

The options continue further with Timber or Wood look-a-like options in the form of laminates, formica, designer vinyl woodplank and sheet vinyls.
