#1 Herringbone Parquet Flooring Specialist Sydney
This can leave large circular shaped sanding marks known as ‘Chatter’ through the floor. To be sanded successfully when the lacquer is being totally cut back from the floor, the floor should be bonded to the sub-floor. The Veneer on top of an engineered timber is the thing of value in a timber oak herringbone floor floor. While an engineered timber is wood all the way through, it is the veneer that is the most valuable aspect of the floor. This can be seen in the price difference between Australian Species Timber and Oak. Veneers come in many thicknesses from .6mm to 6mm, with 3-4mm being the average.
One widely recognised certification for sustainable forestry is the Forest Stewardship Council certification. FSC-certified products are sourced from responsibly managed forests that meet strict environmental, social, and economic standards. When purchasing engineered flooring, look for FSC-certified products to ensure that the timber used in the product is from a sustainable source.

If the solid Timber is 19mm in thickness or greater, it means that this can be used as a structural floor laid over top of joists. Anything less than this is considered an overlay and must be laid over top of another kind of sub-floor. A Solid Timber floor is usually coated on site and not supplied pre-finished. This means in the vast number of cases an experienced timber installer is required to do the job and a floor sander to sand, seal and finish the product. While solid timber is susceptible to moisture damage and changes in climate, engineered flooring offers the same appearance with less risk of shrinking, warping, or expanding.
Physically viewing the flooring products and comparing them to other elements really provides true insight and helps to make an informed decision on the final colour selection. Website images are indicative and should not be taken as the true representation of the finished colour of the products. Batch variation and variation between boards is also to be expected as timber is a natural product. Although similar in appearance to a Chevron pattern, Herringbone timber floors use different planks and are installed to achieve a stylish, but classical aesthetic. Our experience with Aspire floors at every stage has been a great experience. We are really happy with the look and durability of our engineered floors.
Oak parquet is one of the most common types of wooden flooring in the world today. It can be installed on any type of surface including concrete or asphalt, which makes it more versatile than other types of hardwood flooring. We are passionate about floors and know that a beautiful floor really sets the tone for any living space. There is very little that can compete with natural timber when it comes to adding beauty, comfort and practicality to a room. If you are looking for a trusted provider of top quality timber flooring solutions in Sydney, Hilux Timber Flooring is the only name you need to know.
Typically though, in Australia they are made of Chinese grown Eucalyptus so they are a better match for Australian Species timbers. This is because they are both closed pore timbers and have similar characteristics, and also because they are much stronger than than Whitewood cores. ATFA conducted a study a number of years back, which compared many types of flooring and how they were affected by climatic conditions. This study showed that on average, a Ply core would grow about 50% more than a Hevea core. The product is supplied raw and kiln dried usually in random lengths, and requires a period of acclimatization before it is laid. Because the timber is supplied, there is an array of finishes that can be used from polyurethane lacquer, Oil, Hard Wax Oil and others.
Engineered Timber Flooring generally has only a ¼ or less of the species of timber that is used as it’s face than Solid Timber does. A Solid Timber Floor is always fixed to a Sub-floor and cannot be floated. In the case of it being used as a structural floor, it is usually nailed to joists. In the case of it being used as an overlay, it generally requires that Ply sheeting first be screwed to the floor and then the Solid Timber be either Glued or Secret Nailed to this. This means that you will almost always need to engage the services of a timber flooring professional.
The flooring is made in Belgium and the range of colours and collections is superior to any other company. Aspire’s showroom is well set up with large samples to help visualise the finished product. We went with the Topwood collection in witmat and love the finished look.
