Flooring Design Dilemma Entry

wooden floor dilemma

6 years ago

We are renovating a house and most of the house has rimu floorboards which we will sand and polish but there is an extension that has a chipboard floor in the dining roughly 10 sq metres and it is an entrance into the house. Should we make it a point of difference with tiles or lino ?

Is there any way that you have the budget for wood flooring to be replicated the same as your Rimu? This would be the best option. If not a terracotta tile would look beautiful. Do you have any photos of the area?

I'd be happy to be of assistance throughout your project if you'd like some one to one help and advice along the way feel free to email me directly.

Hi Kerry

Thanks for your thoughts, I dont think we would be able to do rimu flooring but a terracotta tile sounds good. No dont have any pics at this stage.

awsum!

HI Emily Carpeting bedrooms is only dictated by your budget. The only variable is the price of the carpet, all other costs (installation, smoothedge, underlay) will be the same no matter what you choose. When you say remove wooden floors....do you know what is already installed? If you are only wanting to take the wood from the bedrooms but leave it in hallways etc, then the cost to remove wood planks (laminate?) may be around $20 per m2... A lot depends on how the timber was installed, so I think it's best to get in a professional and get a free quote. Good luck.

I'm guessing you are from NZ (kiwi) :) The handy sanders did our floors - http://www.handysanders.co.nz/. They did an AWESOME job and are reasonable priced. I would definitely recommend.

We had the same issue with yellow/green streaks in our refinished rimu floors. It's something to do with tannins in the wood - we found the only way around it was to replace the affected boards with reclaimed ones. But make sure the reclaimed ones don't have the same issue by sanding and checking before laying.

Subject to were you live you can get tongue and groove rimu flooring machined from recycled rimu at demolition yards. I did this when I doubled the size of my current home. I also had the skirting boards and door frames made. The cost is very reasonable and wouldn't be much more if any compared to tiles. It is worth looking into.
