Why should consider timber flooring for your kitchen in Canberra?

last year

If you’re like most people, you’ll love the look of quality wooden floors. It’s one of the most popular flooring options for living areas, and for good reason. However, some people are wary of wood-floored kitchens. After all, wouldn’t the wood be damaged by all the moisture and spills?

But it is not the truth. Today, timber flooring can serve a great purpose in a kitchen. As Canberra’s wood flooring experts, we’re here to share some of the reasons wood floors should be incorporated into your kitchen.

Why You Should Consider Timber Flooring For Your Kitchen?

1. Sustainable materials

For some, when it comes to kitchen floors, it’s not just about looks; it’s also about the sustainability of the materials used.

If this is a consideration for your new kitchen design, engineered flooring is a good choice because only the top layer is made of slow-growing hardwoods. You can also find engineered floors derived from renewable trees. Asking your local flooring experts and investigating how and where they source materials can be tricky. There are certainly suppliers and installers who prioritize sustainable and eco-friendly practices while still producing high-quality flooring that meets all your requirements.

2. Durable

When you choose quality engineered wooden flooring, you can be sure you’re choosing a durable option that will stand the test of time. With the right care and maintenance, hardwood floors will look amazing year after year, regardless of the foot traffic in your kitchen.

If you’re looking for something new, or want to refinish old wood floors, you can also sand the wood flooring to remove any built-up damage. Sanding and refinishing floors is a great solution to help accentuate and breathe new life into your floor’s natural beauty. In short, it’s an affordable way to restore wood flooring without a complete replacement.

3. Easy installation

Engineered floorings are easy to install in the right conditions, especially if you have a wood installation specialist. But if you have the knack, you can even do it yourself!

All you need is a quick daily sweep to remove dirt and debris, followed by a proper vacuum once a week. The main thing to remember is to clean up spills immediately to avoid water damage.

5. Beautiful appearance and comfort

One of the most compelling reasons to use timber flooring in a kitchen is that it looks beautiful and has a timeless quality. Nothing beats the look of quality wooden flooring. It adds warmth and character to your space.

It is also suitable for various types of decoration. Regardless of your interior design preferences, whether your kitchen is a dark-toned kitchen or bright, wood floors are guaranteed to look good and complement your vision.

By the way, you won’t get cold feet like you would with a tiled kitchen.

Renovation dilemma : re-carpet OR timber floors?

Hi ritevibe, It seems that many of your worries are to do with the ongoing maintenance and wear that will inevitably come from renting your property out. Timber would quite obviously look amazing in your space, though the damage and maintenance could be restrictive. Have you investigated timber look 'parquet' tiles? Being porcelain, you are not going to find anything more durable and long lasting. It is definitely worth a look at what's available in this material, I will attach some images for your reference and a link to give you a starting point. (http://www.houzz.com.au/projects/683682/par-ker-timber-parquet-porcelain-tiles) In such an environment, I think cost effectiveness would probably be better understood over the life of the floor, as vinyls and floorboards are going to require significant amounts of maintenance, are going to cop a bit of a beating and are not going to last as long as tile. If you want more info I am happy to help out, Best of luck!

Timber flooring and timber ceiling. - too much?
Q

Timber with timber can work brilliantly, and it's in keeping with the mid century style you want for your home. This room (below) is a little similar to yours, albeit with less of a pitch to the roof - the large feature lighting helps to break up the expanse of timber on the ceiling. You have a lovely open plan area, so I'd be inclined to use rugs to create zones and a cosy feel. Rugs reduce the impact of a large expanse of flooring material. They have the benefit that you can swap things around to change the look and layout at little cost. I think one trick may be to define your "walls" carefully, and paint these before you go with a new floor. This should give you a sense of whether the timber is overwhelming, and how to balance it. E.g. You might decide it works best to paint the kitchen cupboards to white, to give you a more seamless look and work with your new counter tops. If you want to experiment with the "paint ceiling" approach - gulp, it's a big one!! - then maybe that small section above the kitchen bench, at a different angle to the rest of the roof, could be the spot. It seems to have the same horizontal line as the wall, so even if you don't like the painted look for the whole, you might be able to get away with blending this into the walls. Best of luck!

Timber Cathedral Ceiling:To paint or not to paint?! Also Kitchen Ideas

I really like the ceiling, as others said it gives it atmosphere and frames the view. When you say pine, I'm thinking you mean the finest of all the pines - Oregon which is fine grained and a warm honey colour. I have a cathedral ceiling and I would gladly swap my bland white faux Hamptons look with you any day! I would look at a large rug for the floor - if the budget is small, find a carpet that you like and get it edged as a rug - my favourite hack. I agree to bring in some black in the curtain rods and swap out al that cream/yellow paint for a neutral white. Your kitchen reminds me of mine circa 1998. Change the splash back to something neutral. Even white painted glass or a white textured or interestingly shaped tile. Swap out your bar stools for timber and introduce some timber elements in the kitchen to match the roof. Think chopping boards,, timber bowl for fruit, utensil holders, pot plants. Paint the walls white as well. All the creams in the world won't help the ceiling look better. you need to work with it not against it. Good luck and keep us up to date!

Kitchen cabinetry first or solid timber flooring first?
Q
Comments (6)
Depending on your budget to allow for more flooring, I would always put floor down across space, then cabinetry on top of flooring. This is because, in the future, if yourself or new occupants want to change the kitchen layout, then the flooring will not need replacing. However, most builds do install cabinets, then put flooring around the cabinets. It is a timing. trades people, are held up by putting the floor down first.
