David McLeay Carpets: Timber

Choosing the right timber floor is easy Being a natural material, timber flooring can suit almost any domestic or commercial application, perhaps with the exception of wet areas. Most timber floors are very hardwearing and virtually maintenance free. Their hard surfaces do not harbour dust are easy to clean and therefore offer a great benefit to allergy suffers. A timber floor can become in itself a stunning feature of the most modern home or office, or be a subtle understatement in a property of yesteryear adding warmth, charm and character. Types of Timber floors
		SOLID TIMBER As the name suggests this floor is made of solid timber and nothing else, typically around 19 mm thick. The timber can be in the form of boards of various widths, strips or blocks as used in parquet flooring. View Solid Timber Range

		FLOATING FLOOR This type of floor has a surface of real timber usually around 2 mm thick adhered to a base of MDF (particle board). The overall thickness of the floor can be 7 or 14 mm depending on the thickness of the MDF. View Floating Floor Range

		TIMBER VENEER These floors have a very thin layer of timber (the veneer) adhered to a base of MDF (particle board). View Timber Veneer Range

		TIMBER LAMINATE Strictly speaking this type of floor has no natural timber at all as the surface is a graphic 'impression' or picture upon an MDF sub base (particle board). View Timber Laminate Range
