How much does a timber floor cost?
This is just a simple question, but the answer depends on several factors:
- type of timber flooring
- grade of wood
- installation (installed or DIY)
- size of the area to have the flooring
- location of your home
Type of Flooring
The first thing you need to consider is the type of flooring, should it be solid timber, laminate, direct stick floors, floating floors, parquetry or pre-finished floors.
Next is the grade of the timbers; select, standard and better, standard grade, and feature and better, feature and economy. The price differs with each grade and can be based on the appearance of the timber rather than its quality. Floor boards are priced on varying quality, widths and lengths.
Installation Costs of Timber Floors
Installation cost of timber floors depends on the type of flooring you choose. For instance, solid timber flooring requires more time and careful preparation than a pre-finished flooring requires. With DIY Parquetry, Cork & Timber Flooring installation charge at a cost per metre. Parquet floors is also are at a cost per metre but with an addition to the total cost depending on the complexity of the pattern that was chosen.
Timber steps are charged per step because the process of installation is quite complex. For example, if the timber steps are to be laid unto a concrete slab, it would need proper sealing and additional moisture barrier as protection. In DIY Parquetry, Cork & Timber Flooring, glues, sealants and other products needed for the installation process are included in the costing.
Sanding which is very important in timber flooring is also included in the cost of installation. Beading and skirting is extra depending on the type you already have or choose for your new floor. Discuss all factors your installer to ensure everything falls perfectly.
