Strip floor Installation
After you have decided to install a strip floor for your house, you should consider:
- The colour of the timber you want (blondie, red or brown)
- The grade (Natural/Feature, Standard or Selected)
- The thickness and width:
19mm tongue and groove solid strip flooring that comes in different widths: (60x19mm, 80/85x19mm, 108x19mm, 130x19mm, 180x20.5mm), or
10 & 13mm (overlay) solid strip flooring that comes in width of 80mm. - The hardness of the timber (Janka rating measures the hardness of timber. The bigger the rate, the harder to dent the timber).
Appropriate subfloors to install your strip flooring:
19mm tongue and grove solid strip flooring can be installed over:
- Concrete slab
- Barriers and joists
- Sheet flooring
- Existing timber floors
13mm solid strip overlay flooring can be installed over:
- Concrete slab
- Sheet flooring
- Existing timber floors
After installing the natural and standard grade timber flooring, the gums veins, knots, etc. will be filled with EPOXY resin filler. It is a clear fill that is as hard as the timber. After sanding and finishing makes the floor flat.
