How thick should wood flooring be?

The thickness of the timber influences the durability and the longevity of the flooring. Generally, the thickness of solid wood flooring ranges between 15 mm and 20 mm. If you opt for engineered wood flooring, you only need to consider two measurements: the thickness of the engineered base layer (usually around 18 mm) and the thickness of the solid wood top layer or lamella (5 mm).

What is the fastest flooring to install?

Vinyl and laminate flooring is considered one of the quicker types of flooring to install. It is light and easy to work with and is typically designed with a lock system that makes the panels easy to connect together.

Do flooring installers remove old flooring?

In Australia, most flooring installers will remove old flooring first before installing your new choice of flooring. The cost of this will vary depending on the existing flooring and the professional so be sure to bring this up when requesting a quote.

Guidance

Hardwood or engineered wood? Vinyl or laminate? Or perhaps concrete? A flooring installer in Australia can help you choose the flooring that works best for your project and budget.

Cost and time estimates

A flooring installer should be able to give you accurate estimates about how much the project is going to cost you and how long it will take from start to finish.

Proper installation

They, of course, have the tools and knowledge to properly prepare and install the flooring be it timber, vinyl and laminate, concrete or otherwise. This includes dealing with the subfloor, installing underlay, mitigating moisture problems, taking into account natural expansion and contraction and more if required.

Durability and longevity

Once your floors have been installed, flooring installers can advise you on the best finish for your floor, taking into consideration not only the type of material used but also how the space will be used. Professionally applied finishes ensure that your floor looks better for longer.

The advantages of hiring a skilled flooring installer

There are many advantages to selecting from the best flooring installers in Australia. Firstly, it can save you time and money and give you the peace of mind of knowing that the job will be well done. Their experience ensures that they get the job done quickly without any unnecessary hiccups along the way. Getting the job done properly the first time ensures that you don’t waste money on additional materials, fixing errors, or preventable problems.

On top of this, knowledgeable flooring professionals will advise you on the best products and will even source them for you. Their industry contacts to other professionals like tiles and stones suppliers can also be of great benefit.

How to choose the best flooring installer for your project

It’s always best to start off thinking about the type of flooring you want installed when considering an installer in this profession. Many in this field tend to specialise in a particular area, be it timber flooring, rubber flooring, tiles or otherwise. You’ll find some that are able to do a broader range, which can be good if you’re not completely sure on the type you want to choose. Otherwise, specialists have very in-depth knowledge about their products and typically have access to a wider range within their favoured type. From this point it pays to look at past projects for styling that appeals, compare the services each has to offer before finally checking customer testimonials. Thankfully, all this information is available on a professional’s ArchiPro profile.

With your shortlisted options, you can then make contact and ask some questions like:
