Factors that affect the cost of timber flooring
Timber flooring cost involves two things – installation of the timber flooring and the cost of the flooring material. If you say installed, it means that its price include the fee for both the material and the labour. On the other hand, if it doesn’t say installed, the price is for only material themselves.
Factors that affect the cost
Some of the most common factors that affect the cost of timber flooring installation are:
- Type of wood used. Do you have a particular type of wood in mind? Locally grown Australian hardwoods are often cheaper and well suited to the Australian conditions.
- Cost of finishing. Finishing work is required after the wood is installed so make sure that is included in the cost.
- Labour cost. This may actually depend on the type of work and the area that has to be covered. Want to add some embellishments and designs you require.
- Preparation costs. The cost of preparing your existing floor to have the wood layed over it. In days gone by wood was a stand alone flooring over joists but today most wood floors are a thinner lay of wood layed over your existing floor for new homes generally concrete.
- Travel. If you are in a remote, rural or out of the way area you may have to pay travel and or accommodation costs for the floor installers.
- Quality. Smaller job may incur extra freight or charges if the wood is not already in stock.
