Local Bamboo & Timber Flooring in Hemmant QLD

Should I get timber flooring over carpet?

If you are weighing up between laying carpet or installing floorboards in your home, here is the full breakdown of things to consider:

• Floorboards are easy to maintain. Flooring tends to be sturdy and durable, and only requires a sweep every few days to prevent dirt from damaging the timber. Carpets trap dust and pet hair, and need to be vacuumed often. Additionally, stains can often be difficult to remove on carpets.
• Hardwood timber and bamboo wood floorings are timeless and can be easily refreshed with a new stain or polish.
• Bamboo hardwood flooring is initially more expensive to install than most carpets. However, if cared for appropriately, flooring can last for many decades to come.
• Floorboards cause footsteps to be loud and echoey. This may be a problem depending on how many people live in the building. Yet acoustic underlays can mitigate this.
