BUYERS BEWARE: READ THE FOLLOWING TO UNDERSTAND TIMBER FLOORING
TIMBER IS A NATURAL PRODUCT:
COLOUR: each piece is unique in colour and grain, no two pieces are identical, even if the timber has been stained , (even black ) each piece will have a different depth of colour as the undertone of the natural timber reflects through.
[dt_sc_hr_invisible size=”xsmall”][/vc_column_text][dt_sc_hr_invisible size=”xsmall”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1628653750642{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]GRAIN: again this applies to the grain of the timber, if the boards are a sliced veneer, it can be expected that the colour will be more even due to the thin slices of the top timber, if the boards have been sawn one can expect more variation in colour and grain and grading of the timber.
Oak has a more consistent colour when compared to the Australian Spotted Gum or Ironbark, once installed you will notice all types of grains, such as tiger marks( swirls) in the timber, other boards will have large patterns of grain, others may not even show any grain and appear very consistent.

(see how to care for your floors-maintenance.

Damage, which may be caused due to high levels of moisture, insufficient ventilation, Installation procedures not according to the manufactures guidelines, plus extreme heat or cold conditions, will not be covered under the Warranty. TIMBER, like all substances will expand and contract, this is a natural science ,which we cannot change, therefore to maintain your TIMBER FLOORS in peak condition it is imperative that you follow these guidelines.
