Wood Flooring

Sunshine Coast Wood Floor Specialists

Wooden flooring is one of the oldest flooring systems around and it’s for a good reason. Wood floors offer a timeless and durable flooring system that can breathe life and warmth into your home. The natural grain patterns add intrigue that is not achievable with tiles or concrete floors. However, choosing the right wood type and shade can be overwhelming and choosing the wrong shade or style can throw off a room. Impact Floors has a team of flooring experts with over 40 years of experience who can help you choose the best timber flooring system for your home to match your style.

Benefits of Wood Floors

Wooden or timber floors offer a wide range of benefits through design, durability, and versatility. Sustainably sourced wooden floors are some of the most environmentally friendly flooring systems around that only get better with age. A timber floor can be varnished in a wide range of shades to take the same piece of wood from natural light brown to a dark brown or a light grey giving you total freedom to find a shade that suits the rest of your home. Tiles and concrete flooring systems can make rooms with less soft furnishing sound tinnie and cavernous and feel cold. This is due to the hardness of these surfaces reflecting higher pitch frequencies whereas wood floors have a lower hardness and absorb more of these higher pitch sounds reducing echo and making rooms feel more warmer and more comfortable. The natural neutral earth tones of timber flooring can fit alongside a wide variety of colour pallets from earthy oranges and yellows, to modern whites and off-whites or funky greens and blues. This versatility means that nearly every home suits timber boards flooring.

Comprehensive Range of Wood Flooring Types

Impact Floors has a huge range of different types of wood flooring to suit nearly every home. Our team have a huge range at our Maroochydore showroom where you can come and get hands-on with our range and truly get an idea as to what they would look like in your home. Some of the engineered timber flooring types we offer include:

• Tasmanian Oak
• Blackbutt
• Spotted Gum
• Blue Gum
• Oak
• Jarrah
• and more

Each of these wood types offers a different natural tone and grain patterning to suit your style and home. We specialise in engineered wood flooring systems as opposed to single plank wood floors as they are far easier to install (don’t require a subfloor) on top of an existing floor. Engineered wood floors are also far cheaper than other wood floors as they use layers of different woods to crate the planks this makes them cheaper than single sheet planks while still having the same visual appearance and feeling underfoot. Come into our showroom or give our team a call and we can find an engineered flooring system for you.

Flooring Wood Laminate

Laminate floors can provide the look and feel of a wooden floor without the hassle of wood. Having come leagues over the last decade to the point where it is becoming incredibly difficult to tell the difference between wood and laminate floors. They are also cheaper than engineered wood planks while still being as easy to install. They come with a scratch resistant wear layer on top of each board that helps stop the panels from developing scratches from chairs and other furniture. 

Vinyl Wood Flooring

Vinyl wood floors are the next level up from laminate floors they offer a similar appearance but have far better water resistance and durability. Vinyl flooring has the same scratch-resistant top layer but in vinyl floors, it is accompanied by a UV-resistant layer that protects the design layer from fading. The core of vinyl flooring is a PVC or fibreglass combination that is entirely waterproof this protects the boards from warping due to moisture either from spills onto the floor or from the humidity in the air. This water resistance can be important in Queensland where the wet and humid summer wet season can turn your home into a very damp place.

Hybrid Wood Flooring

Hybrid wood floors combine the rigidity of laminate floors with the water resistance and finish of a vinyl flooring system to create some of the best synthetic flooring systems on the market. Coming in a wide range of wood types and colours hybrid wood floors are some of the best non-wood floors on the market.

Wood Floor Installation

The installation of a wood floor is as important as picking the right floor type. An incorrectly installed floor can greatly reduce the longevity of the floor and turn your home into one big tripping hazard as floor boards warp or shift from incorrect installation. That is why we offer a team of expert flooring installers that can make your floor fit perfectly and look as good as possible.
