Engineered, Solid or Hardwood: What's the Difference?
Timber flooring brings a natural warmth and character no printed floor can fully replicate, every board has its own grain, so no two floors look quite the same. Gorkha Flooring supplies engineered timber, solid timber, and hardwood timber across Perth, each suited to slightly different homes and budgets.
Engineered timber pairs a genuine timber veneer with a cross-layered plywood core, offering greater dimensional stability through Perth’s seasonal climate than solid timber, making it a popular choice for renovations. If you’re exploring flooring installation Perth, engineered timber provides an excellent balance of durability, appearance, and value. While solid timber costs more upfront, it can be sanded and refinished multiple times over its lifespan, making it a worthwhile long-term investment.

FAQS About Timber Flooring in Perth
What is the difference between solid timber and engineered timber flooring?+−
Solid timber consists of a single piece of hardwood, while engineered flooring uses a real timber veneer bonded over a multi-ply core for added stability.
Which timber species are most popular for Perth homes?+−
Local favorites include Jarrah, Marri, and Blackbutt due to their striking natural grain, high durability, and distinct Western Australian character.
Will my timber floors fade or change color under the intense Perth sun?+−
Yes, all real wood naturally matures and develops character over time when exposed to UV rays. We apply advanced protective coatings to minimize drastic color changes.
Can timber flooring be installed over an existing concrete slab?+−
Absolutely. Engineered timber is ideal for floating or gluing directly over flat concrete, while solid timber planks may require a plywood or batten underlayment.
Is timber flooring a suitable option for kitchens or laundries?+−
While engineered timber can handle light kitchen use with immediate cleanup, real wood is generally not recommended for high-moisture zones like laundries or bathrooms.
How many times can real timber flooring be sanded and refinished?+−
Solid timber can be sanded multiple times over decades. Engineered timber depends on the wear-layer thickness, typically allowing 1 to 3 sandings.
What is the best way to clean and maintain real timber floors?+−
Avoid soaking them with water; instead, use a static broom or vacuum with a soft brush attachment and a damp, well-wrung microfiber mop.
Do timber planks need to be acclimatized before installation?+−
Yes. We pre-condition our timber planks on-site to match Perth’s humidity baseline, which dramatically minimizes shrinking, cupping, or expanding after installation.
How long does it typically take to supply and install a timber floor?+−
Most standard home installations take between 2 to 5 days, though sand-and-coat projects for solid timber will require extra time to cure.
Does installing real timber flooring increase my home's resale value?+−
Yes. Premium hardwood and engineered timber floors are highly valued architectural features that consistently yield a strong return on property investments in the Perth market.
