689 Pty Ltd. is a Gold Coast Flooring Company, where buyers come across different types of hardwood flooring. The hardwood flooring costs will depend on the style, brand, and type. For example, natural timber flooring costs will be more than engineered or laminate timber flooring.
Different types of hardwood flooring
1. Solid hardwood flooring
It is a traditional, timeless, and costly option. Timber flooring is available in different types, colors, and textures. The timber flooring cost will depend on the type and brand. The floor installer from Gold Coast has high expertise level, so solid hardwood installation costs can be high.
There are budget installers, who use the glue-down method. It means all the planks are nailed at every corner and glued in place. It is quick but lacks the durability of secure techniques like screwing or the choice of floating option, where nails are used carefully.
The labor charge of floating floor installation is less but you will need to hire professionals to install the underlays properly. The professionals are aware of which kind of underlays will work effectively in your project.
Timber flooring sourced from Blackbutt is the cheapest option than Ironbark, Bamboo, and Jarrah. Expect to pay around $1,200 – $6,500+ for timber flooring.
2. Engineered hardwood flooring
Engineered timber flooring is available in a variety of styles & finishes.
- Prefinished products are also available, which eliminates the need for sanding after installation.
- The stained wood floor offers some unusual color options. Stains need an extra finishing coat of wax or oil.
- Boards are sanded at the factory and delivered. It means the floors need only varnishing to emphasize the plank’s natural beauty.
- The site finished is a common flooring type as costs less and looks fantastic.
The labor fee that Timber Decking Sanding Services charge for engineered timber flooring installation is $60 to $70 per sq. m. The base material cost can range from $80 to $100 per sq. m.
3. Laminate Flooring
Laminate flooring is designed for different product layers like melamine, polyester, and wood. The layers are screwed together and rammed against one another like puzzle pieces. There are cork pads or high-density foam incorporated within them for insulation and shock absorption. Laminate is an engineered wood type, which can be installed on existing floorboards. They can quickly give your home an appealing and modified look.
The two major factors that will affect hardwood flooring’s overall cost are thickness and size. The thicker the flooring the better it will look.
Finishing the flooring task
Based on flooring type and finishing desire, the total cost can increase by an extra $1,500+. There are other extras to consider like underlay and furniture moving costs that can increase the final bill. Several factors sway the flooring costs but ensure to receive quotes from 4 to 5 reliable floor installation companies before hiring one.
