Local Supplier Stunned by the Popularity of Timber Flooring on the Sunshine Coast

Supplier of timber flooring on Sunshine Coast reveals why so many homeowners and builders are choosing timber as their surface of choice.
Brisbane, QLD, January 23, 2017 - According to a timber flooring supplier in Narangba, timber has become the material of choice for an increasing number of Sunshine Coast residents. Timber flooring has been around for centuries but never seems to lose its appeal. Carpet and tile have become popular over the years, with many designs becoming trendy, only to disappear or become “dated” when something else becomes more popular. Timber flooring, however, looks a lot like it did hundreds of years ago and never seems to go out of favour.

Benefits of Timber Flooring

For most homeowners, the main choices are between carpet and timber. While kitchens and bathrooms often have tile, carpet and timber are the main choices for the other living areas of a home. Timber flooring offers a number of benefits over carpeting.

According to most people who have timber flooring, one of the biggest benefits is its aesthetic. Most timber floor owners feel that nothing can provide the “look” or beauty of a high-quality, well-maintained timber floor. Timber provides a natural, timeless, prosperous appearance that is unmatched by most carpet or tile designs.

While timber does provide an air of prosperity and was once seen as only affordable by rich people, timber is increasingly affordable and is the most cost-effective flooring material over the long term. Timber costs a bit more at the beginning, but it doesn’t have to be replaced every five years like carpet. While both carpet and tile tend to degrade in appearance with time, a well-maintained timber floor actually looks better with age.

One of the biggest benefits of timber flooring over carpet is that it is so much more sanitary and easy to clean. Carpets are often described as a “magnet” for dust mites, fleas, cat litter, fungi and a host of parasites. These can be mostly removed by vacuuming, but vacuuming ends up forcing a lot of dust mites and other parasites into the air, where they are breathed in by residents of the home. This can be an extreme bother for those with allergies.

Timber flooring is easy to clean and maintain. It just needs to be swept and mopped. Spills need to be wiped as soon as possible. The finish needs to be maintained long term. Timber is a cleaner, safer surface for everyone in a home. Even if one doesn’t have pets, the air in a well-maintained home with timber flooring will always be of better quality than that of a home with carpeting.
