COMPOSITE TIMBER
Composite Timber refers to a wood-plastic composite (WPC) made by combining wood fibres (often recycled) with thermoplastic polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). WPC is designed to mimic the appearance and texture of natural wood while offering enhanced durability and low maintenance. It is primarily used in decking, fencing, and other outdoor applications due to its ability to withstand weather conditions and moisture without rotting or warping. Additionally, WPC is resistant to pests like termites, making it an appealing choice for long-term projects. Despite its synthetic components, WPC is also eco-friendly as it often incorporates recycled materials.
LUXURY VINYL
Vinyl flooring is a synthetic material made primarily from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) combined with various additives to provide colour, flexibility, and durability. It is available in several forms, including sheets, tiles, and planks, with luxury vinyl planks (LVP) becoming particularly popular due to their realistic imitation of wood or stone surfaces. Vinyl flooring is known for being highly resilient, waterproof, and easy to maintain, making it a favoured choice for high-traffic areas and moisture-prone environments such as kitchens and bathrooms. Additionally, vinyl flooring is also resistant to scratches and stains, enhancing its lifespan. Advances in printing and embossing technology have made modern vinyl highly attractive, with detailed patterns and textures that closely resemble natural materials.
ENGINEERED HARDWOOD
Engineered hardwood is a flooring option made from a top layer of real hardwood veneer attached to multiple layers of plywood or high-density fibreboard (HDF) underneath. This construction makes it more stable and resistant to changes in humidity and temperature compared to solid hardwood. Engineered hardwood can be installed in areas where moisture and temperature fluctuations are a concern, such as basements, where solid hardwood would be prone to warping. It also offers the same authentic look and feel of real wood at a lower cost, though the thickness of the hardwood veneer will determine how many times it can be refinished.
SOLID HARDWOOD
Solid hardwood is a classic and timeless flooring option made entirely from a single piece of natural wood, typically ¾ inch thick. It is highly valued for its longevity and ability to be refinished multiple times over its lifespan, which can last for decades or even centuries if properly maintained. Solid hardwood provides a rich, authentic appearance with natural variations in color and grain that add character to any space. However, because it is made from real wood, it is more sensitive to changes in humidity and temperature, which can cause it to expand, contract, or warp. This type of flooring is best suited for environments where moisture is not a concern, such as living rooms or bedrooms.
