Environmentally friendly Timber 

Whether you’re renovating your Perth home or have taken the plunge to build, there comes the point where you need to make the decision of flooring. You’ve narrowed it down but now the question is, do you go with recycled timber or bamboo?

Bamboo Flooring:

Even though Bamboo flooring is wood substitute essentially created from a type of grass, there are certain types available in Perth that is exceptionally dense & durable. Environmentally friendly products are important to those who live in Perth, and bamboo grows very quickly where it can generally be harvested every 3 years. The average Perth homeowner seeks for a product that is a long-term investment, with minimal up keep at a marginal cost. Bamboo floorboards are considered easy maintenance and withhold to everyday wear of our Perth seasons. They can be re-sanded numerous times, to refresh their appearance. Bamboo floorboards can be laid directly over most current flooring e.g. concrete & vinyl. Bamboo floorboards can be nailed or glued to the floor, either way producing a picturesque finish to your home.

       
Recycled Timber Flooring;

You can assist in preserving our Perth native forests by using recycled timber. Not only that but there are no harsh chemicals in processing recycled timber. Recycled timber flooring is easy to maintain as well, but is also favourable for those Perth customers who experience allergies and dust related illness. “An added benefit of recycled flooring is that due to age it’s notably harder and more stable than new timbers.” Jarrah floorboards (recycled) are a popular choice with Perth homeowners, rich in colour and hard wearing. There are environmental benefits to both bamboo and recycled timber flooring; the decision really comes down to your preference.
