Pros & cons of hardwood floors and tiles
Comments (5)If you are in a hot state, tiles are nice and cool. They can also be good near a North facing window as a heat sink (passive thermal) as long as you have good shading on the window in Summer. Not advised for elderly people. In the kitchen and dining room, dropped items will break. timber is natural and fashionable, good temperature year round. Less good in wet areas. Is not no-maintenance, needs stripping and sanding periodically. Is more forgiving if items dropped, baby falls, or in an earthquake. Is not cheap....See MoreHardwood floor - Satin or gloss finish ? ? See Photo................
Comments (46)I have two dogs and they both live and play inside. At one stage we had three. Our floors look no more worn than the day I oiled then 6 years ago.

After 30 years of fixing timber issues, it breaks my heart to see such a beautiful substance treated with a toxic plastic bag. This is our puppy the other day with a sore foot....See MoreWhat's a nice DULUX colour that goes with hardwood timber floor?

Comments (10)Hello Louise yes I think this mix will look good. I would suggest limiting the proportion of Lighter timber though, and using a greater proportion of white (like in some of the images above and here below). I would also recommend that you don't stain (colour) your floors but just polish (clear lacquer) them. Before sanding and polishing you could also fill the small gaps and cracks between the boards with Calking and then sand this calking back (when dry) along with the timber to give a more flush uniform, modern finish to your floor. Hope this helps, Malcolm...See MoreTB
