Timber Floating Floorboards

Upgrade Your Interiors with Carpet Court's Timber Floating Floorboards
The term “floating floors” refers to the installation method rather than the flooring product itself. Unlike traditional floorboards, floating timber floors are not fixed directly to the subfloor. Instead, individual flooring planks are connected to one another, creating a stable and seamless finish.
This engineered timber flooring is pre-finished, eliminating the need for sanding or polishing. It’s a cost-effective alternative to solid hardwood, making it a popular option among homeowners. With a straightforward installation method and the assurance of a high-quality product, Carpet Court makes achieving stunning timber floors easy and affordable.
Benefits of floating timber floorboards
Timber floating floorboards are durable, stylish and suitable for high-traffic areas of the home or office. They bring a classic, timeless beauty to any interior space and can be adapted with design style and materials to match your décor.
Here are some important benefits of floating timber floorboards.
1. Can be glued down
Floating engineered timber floors can be glued down over dry concrete slabs or a wooden subfloor. Ask your Carpet Court consultant if this method is suitable for your chosen product.
2. The look and feel of solid timber
This flooring feels the same as a solid timber floor to walk on. Once installed, the sturdy base layer is concealed, and the solid timber top is shown. For a price that compares favourably to hardwood, engineered floating timber floors will add the same resale value to your home.
3. Lots of flooring options
Engineered flooring planks are available in a number of different widths, lengths, and thicknesses. It’s available pre-finished in a variety of natural timbers such as Blackbutt, Spotted Gum, and natural Tasmanian Oak, and there’s no need for additional sanding or finishing.
4. Save precious hardwoods
Most floating timber floors use only around one-third of the amount of solid hardwood compared to solid timber flooring. Carpet Court’s engineered flooring is a sustainable alternative to milling precious hardwoods.
5. Suit your budget
Floating timber flooring prices compare favourably with solid timber flooring. Thickness directly affects the price, and there are thinner options for smaller budgets.
6. Faster to install
Floating timber flooring products are machined to a high standard and easily installed with the quick-step tongue and groove method. The engineered boards don’t swell with moisture, and they fit together smoothly.
7. Less wastage
With engineered flooring, you can use every piece of flooring purchased as it has been graded with no cracks, loose knots or other structural defects.
