Timber – I’m confused by all the different types of timber


You’ve taken time to research timber flooring before you head into your closest Carpet Call store. After Google search result number two you are feeling confused. What is the difference between Engineered Timber Floor versus Hardwood Timber Floor versus Solid Timber Floor versus Floating Timber floor? Carpet Call can answer that question quickly. All timber floors at Carpet Call are hardwood timber floors.

The next thing we will show you at a Carpet Call store is the difference between an engineered timber floor and a solid timber floor.  A solid timber floor has the same hardwood the entire way through. An engineered timber floor at Carpet Call has three layers in cross ply construction with the natural species on the top layer.

A Carpet Call floating timber floor floats on top of the sub floor whilst a solid timber floor is installed directly to the sub floor.

You will obviously need to know more than this. Head into a Carpet Call store and we can show you the different types of timber and the benefits of each type. No single timber floor is better than the other but only a select number of timber floors will meet your needs and budget.
