Choosing flooring options for your nursery? Love the look of timber flooring? Interested in having timber flooring throughout your whole house, including your children's rooms?

Timber flooring adds value to your home and if allergies are a concern to you, this is a great option being less likely to attract dirt or dust mites than other flooring options such as carpet.

With so many options of timbers, colours and finishes, the selections are endless. However, some can contain nasty chemicals or VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds) that can have harmful effects from long term exposure.

Timber flooring adds value to your home and is a great option- being less likely to attract dirt or dust mites than other flooring options such as carpet.

VOC’s (Volatile organic compounds) are the chemical substances (including both man made and naturally occurring chemical compounds) that evaporate into the air from certain solids or liquids as they dry at room temperatures. Harmful VOC’s typically may not be acutely toxic for humans but have compounding long-term health effects.

​We understand the importance of the health of your children and family. Thankfully, there are products on the market that allow you to get your desired timber floor in your home without compromising the health of your family, especially in rooms such as your baby's nursery or kids rooms.  

This can be achieved by choosing a formaldehyde free timber flooring product and selecting a VOC free or low VOC flooring finish to create a healthy floor for your loved ones. If this is something you are wanting to achieve, let us know and we can arrange a no obligation quote to meet these requirements.  

As timber flooring specialists, we look forward to helping you get the floor you love.
