Choosing a Timber Floor in Osborne Park Based On Budget

When shopping for timber flooring, you should first consider your budget then choose the type of timber flooring appropriately. Like most things, the more you pay for your timber floor, the better you can expect the quality, look and lifespan of the product.

$50 Per Square Meter Budget

If you’re looking to spend around $50 per square metre you will want to look at options with laminate floors, floating floors, and some very cheap engineered timber floor.

This is a type of floor you would find in an IKEA store which has a store close by in Osborne Park.

$100 Per Square Meter Budget

Osborne Park has a lot of centrally located carpet stores which will also offer a range of timber flooring products – Carpet Call, Carpet Court, Trevor’s Carpets.

In this price range you can find several options such as look-a-like timber, laminate and cheap engineered floor. You will also see vinyl tiles which are a tile product that looks like timber.

Carpet shops tend to have a large range of timber substitute floors to match their carpet colours.

$150 Per Square Meter Budget

With a slightly higher budget you can start looking at timber flooring retailers. Being primarily timber flooring stores, you can expect to find a high-quality engineered timber floor, or even a solid timber floor.

With this type of flooring you should expect a direct stick installation appose to a floating floor. Direct stick is for more permanent, longer lasting floors as it allows for re-sanding and polishing in the future.

What are the different types of timber flooring?

Before going on your journey of finding the right timber floor for your home, understand the different types of flooring you are going to find in the Osborne Park timber flooring stores.

Different Types Of Floor

Laminate flooring is a plastic shaped piece with a photo of wood grain printed on and mounted on MDF. The average price of laminate flooring is around $50 per square metre supply and install

Engineered timber floors have a veneer of real wood sitting on a plywood substrate. The top layer veneer is between 3 to 7mm thick and can be sanded multiple times, depending on how the floor was installed.

A big advantage to an engineered board, compared to solid, is the board can be pre-finished. This means the boards can be laid and walked on in the same day.

Solid timber flooring is a solid piece or raw timber flooring. This is a premium timber floor but comes with a long and messy installation process.

Walking into a room with a hardwood timber floor is stunning – no wonder people are choosing it for their floors. It creates a warmth and vibrancy like no other. The ideal canvas to model your home. It is beautiful and is neutral enough to blend with most home decor.

Final advice when looking for timber flooring in Perth

A final word of advice would be try to be very clear of how it’s going to look in your home. Ask for samples and look at the samples under different light sources. Also, make sure you read the fine print regarding the warranty on your floor. Many timber flooring shops in Perth will not give you a warranty if you float your floor.
