What floor is right for you?

When it comes to enhancing the value and aesthetics of your home, choosing the right flooring is crucial. Engineered flooring has gained immense popularity in recent years, especially for contemporary interiors. Its versatility, durability, and wide range of design options make it an excellent choice for homeowners looking to elevate their living spaces. In this article, we will explore the various engineered flooring choices from Australian Select Timbers that can add value to your home while complementing a contemporary interior style.

1. Hardwood Engineered Flooring:
Hardwood engineered flooring is a timeless choice that seamlessly blends with contemporary interiors. It offers the natural beauty and warmth of solid hardwood, while its multi-layer construction provides enhanced stability and resistance to moisture. With a wide range of wood species, finishes, and textures available, you can easily find the perfect match for your interior design scheme. 

Engineered timber flooring has the potential to add 10% to your property value as it is known for its aesthetics, sustainability and is a natural choice when compared to engineered floors with synthetic materials.

2. Laminate Flooring:
Laminate flooring is known for its durability and scratch resistance. It is also relatively easy to clean and maintain. However, it's important to choose a laminate with a good protective top layer with a good AC rating to ensure it can withstand wear. Australian Select Timbers offers a laminate floor collection with an AC4 rating that is steam mop friendly making them well suited to residential and commercial use and have a fantastic warranty offering.

Laminate flooring has been made to perfectly mimic real timber floor surfaces with embossed oak grains and textures. 

Laminate is a popular choice for investment properties, or homes with busy lifestyles and kids due to its durability and scratch resistance. Whilst it is on the more cost-effective scale of flooring choices, the look and feel still adds value to the home’s aesthetic and style.

 

3. Hybrid Flooring:
Hybrid flooring, also known as SPC (stone-plastic composite) or WPC (wood-plastic composite) is known for its water resistance. However, if saturated due to flooding it is still necessary to remove the floor to not allow the excess of moisture to remain underneath. As the material itself is waterproof, it provides great performance in kitchens and high traffic areas with less worry of water damage on the surface. Our hybrid flooring comes in a wide range of contemporary oak and Australian species colours that have been carefully selected to mimic real timber floors. 

Hybrid flooring options are a great option for renovations and new builds alike. Available in a large array of colours that look and feel like timber, the waterproof attribute is highly regarded for families with pets.

For a hybrid flooring that is 100% waterproof and acoustically sound with a 6 star acoustic rating, view our Nouvelle Acoustic collection on our website at www.asttimbers.com.au/ranges/hybrids

4. Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) Flooring:
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring has revolutionised the flooring industry with its ability to mimic the look of natural materials, such as hardwood or stone, at a fraction of the cost. LVP is highly durable, waterproof, and easy to maintain, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas or homes with pets and children. Its versatility in design and colour options allows you to achieve a contemporary aesthetic without compromising on functionality. In 2024, Australian Select Timbers will be launching a brand-new vinyl flooring collection! Watch this space!

 

Vinyl flooring is the perfect choice for those wanting the contemporary look and feel without the worry of wear or water damage. Vinyl can endure high foot traffic and is softer under foot than other engineered flooring types.

Choosing the right engineered flooring for your contemporary interior can significantly enhance the value and appeal of your home. Whether you opt for engineered timber, luxury vinyl plank, laminate or hybrid flooring, each choice offers its own unique benefits. Consider your design preferences, lifestyle, and sustainability goals when making your selection. By investing in high-quality engineered flooring from Australian Select Timbers, you can create a stylish and functional space that will impress both residents and potential buyers alike.
