We’re basically going to place wooden floors in the main areas (including bedrooms & kitchen) and have the wet areas set with tiles.
Since its going to cost us a fortune, we’ve been doing a fair bit of research into alternative options other than timber flooring.
We are considering:
1. Bamboo (type: Australiana)
2. Engineered Timber Flooring (Merbau).
There are two things that set them both a part - one being the price and the second being the toughness.
Bamboo is cheaper and more durable (has a rating of 15.8 in hardness) where as Timber (Merbao) is more expensive and has a rating of 8 is hardness.
Seems illogical to go with the Merbau.
We dont have any pets or kiddies, but it will last a long time and there’s no stress on worrying about the floors incase something heavy drops on it….
Im swaying towards the Merbau because of the look, the first impression when you walk in through the porch entrance and elegance of it (like when I first witnessed it at the display houses).
What do you guys think??? Opinions please….
