Great reasons to install a natural timber floor from Floor Venue

  • Written by The Times

You head away knowing that you have just made a fantastic purchase of an old house, at a knockdown price. There is much work to do on it, but you know that you have the skills to put right a lot of the work, while you will call in the experts to do the rest. The plan is to make it somewhere you can rent out and make a tidy profit on it.

One thing at the forefront of your mind is make sure that it is hard wearing and resistant to others living in it, who might not have the same care and attention as an owner. The floor has you in a quandary on that note. That was until a mate advised you to talk to the professionals of over 20 years and go and see the options of a timber floor at Floor Venue. It immediately won you over for several good reasons.

  • You are assured that the installation would be carried out by a skilled team with a high work ethic, that offer a best price guarantee. You know that timber floors are the most popular option in Australia, so they must be good.

  • Once installed, your timber floor will last a lifetime, meaning very little further expenditure, and it is cost effective. There is a diverse range of timbers to choose from, meaning it is adaptable depending on its purpose. It may be that you want a bold look full of character, which could increase your rental asking price. You may also wish to consider the benefits of installing plantation shutters in the house.

  • Wooden floors have a unique appearance, with no two floors looking the same as they are naturally grown. The timbers come from slow growing trees, with hardwood having a beautiful grain and a warmth that adds to the feel of a house along with its value.

  • The timber can be sanded and polished on numerous occasions, meaning it can be brought back to life in less time, with the expert company you are trading with being able to carry out such works. The air quality in the home improves by using natural wood and lead to reduce the feeling of stress. Maybe a visit to a local park for recreational activities or a barbeque might help too.

  • Cleaning and maintenance is a cinch with a natural timber floor, as dusting and light sweeping or a once over with a mop is all that is needed and can be completed in minutes. There’s no steam cleaning or scrubbing fibres required, leading to more quality time to enjoy life.

  • Installing such a floor is also good for the environment, as when it is finally replaced after decades of service it will decompose naturally meaning no land fill is required.

Choosing Timber Flooring in Melbourne from local experts will prove to be a sustainable and cost-effective choice. It will add value to your home and offer uniqueness to it, being easily maintained and hard-wearing.
