LIFEWOOD TIMBER FLOORING PERTH

While unfinished has been a classic choice for many years, advantages and clear benefits of prefinished timber flooring make it a more desirable choice for most homeowners. Here are some of the benefits of prefinished timber flooring:

• Easier and faster installation
  • Installation of prefinished timber flooring is quick and easy, because the floorboards have already coated in a factory setting. While unfinished floors need to be sanded, stained, and sealed on-site. All these steps take time, and with noise, dust and toxic smells go along with the installation.
• Lower installation costs
  • Because there is no on-site sanding, staining, sealing etc, the installation of prefinished timber flooring is not only faster, usually cheaper as well.
• Less mess and non-toxic
  • Installation of prefinished flooring has no toxins and less mess and noise. This is very important advantage for households with pets, children, or people with allergies.
• More Durable
  • Prefinished hardwood is finished in a strictly-controlled factory setting. This makes it more durable, and the finish itself usually comes under manufacturer warranty, which is substantially better than any contractor warranty. While site-finished floors last 3-5 years, most prefinished floors can last for decades. You can easily get a life-time warranty when you buy prefinished flooring.
• Better colour and texture
  • Factory prefinished timber floors are available in a wide range of colors, styles, and finishes. This helps keep a great look and feel of your floor, easier to match your interior design.

Lifewood founder Mark first created this Stabilised-Solid technology out of desperation to save his original business Bamboozle from bankruptcy. The biggest problem with bamboo flooring was finding a method to create a solid board that stays flat.

Coming from both an artistic family on his mother’s side, and a lineage of inventors and botanists from his father’s side, what really drives Mark was his passion for creating innovate solutions to complex problems. Since developing this technology for the bamboo market, Mark has extended it’s functionality for timber flooring and transformed Bamboozle into Lifewood Handcrafted Flooring to fit our extensive range of timbers.

We call this technology Stabilised Solid and it has enabled us to create a solid floorboard that can be pre-finished, sanded, and polished up to 5 times. Its versatility allows us to create all kinds of sizes and colour blends.

Stabilised Solid has 3 layers of solid timber (top 5mm, middle 5mm, bottom 5mm), the middle layer being the essential core layer. This core layer is lined with timber sections all laid on a right angle giving it the ability to yield the natural movement of its environment, holding this movement entirely within its core.

Not only does this prevent the big issue of solid timber expanding and contracting, we have also gone to great lengths to make our board much more scratch and water-resistant. All our boards have very low VOC emitting coating which we apply to all 6 sides of every board.

This means you can have a floor that looks amazing and feel at ease that it’s not going to be easily damaged.
