LuxiyaFinding Timber Flooring In Canberra? Come Flooring 2 You
Luxiya
**Why choose timber flooring?** Timber flooring can be installed as solid timber or engineered boards. Engineered boards have the same feel and natural look of real species timber and are the perfect options for those who love timber but need to watch their budget. The cross laid solid Hevea Core and Spruce backing layer means you can enjoy your favourite timber species for a fraction of the price. The best thing about timber floorboards is that the more you live on them, the more awesome they look! Timber flooring has an appeal that goes way beyond simple aesthetics. It’s a look and feel that touches the heart in a way other flooring types can’t. There’s just something about the look of timber that gives off a beautiful character to any space, be it a home or a business. The natural tones and variations of hardwood floors are simply gorgeous, providing a robust and warm feel. The addition of wooden flooring brings a luxurious style that’s hard to imitate, and brings up the value of the property, too. Compared to laminate it’s more hardwearing and can be sanded or even re-stained lasting for generations. It also provides a much more authentically natural and timeless look than concrete or tiles. So, pop into one of our showrooms or browse the ranges on Flooring 2 You to discover what we already know – there’s magic in Flooring 2 You! [preview] **What we do in Flooring 2 You?** We specialise in crafted engineered timber flooring. From product supply to install, to maintenance and aftercare, our team provides comprehensive support. You’ll find every aspect of your flooring needs taken care of. No matter which option you choose from our range of hardwood floors, or custom timber solutions, you’ll be met with excellent products and service every time. Our team’s expertise in installation, parquetry and stairs, means you’ll have beautiful timber floors to last you for the years to come.
