What are my options
With so many options out there it can seem overwhelming but knowledge is power!
Visually, particularly when looking from a screen its hard to tell the difference between your options but in person the look, touch, feel and composition of each product is quite different.
Bamboo
Bamboo not only looks good, with its long and wide boards, but it’s extremely strong and durable too. Incredibly stable and resistant to indentation and insects, Arc Bamboo is even easy to clean and maintain and can be sanded and re-finished in years to come, just like a timber floor.
The most impressive feature of this natural material is that it’s sourced from dedicated plantations which are regrown in 5 to 6 year cycles.
Laminate
Laminate as timber look flooring has proven to be an innovative and cost-efficient alternative to real timber flooring and is available in a wide selection of colours and grains. It's also more scratch and dent-resistant than real timber, making it the perfect choice for active households, and can be installed in kitchens and bathrooms because it's moisture-resistant.
SPC & LVT hybrids
SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) are designed to handle heavy foot traffic, dropped dishes in the kitchen, or kids and pets roughhousing without showing much wear and tear and are very similar to LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tiles)
Engineered Timber
Timber flooring, or engineered flooring, is the benchmark and crafted from real wood. It is a more cost-effective solution than solid hardwood planks and at the same time, provides the same real wood surface. Engineered timber can also be used in kitchens and installed over concrete basement slabs because of its moisture-resistant qualities.
