Floating Floors - Precision Engineered Precision engineered for performance, a floating floor is a durable and attractive alternative to carpet, ceramic or solid timber. Different from traditional timber floors, a floating floor is not directly fixed down. Instead, it rests (floats) on an underlay which is placed on top of your existing sub-floor surface. There are different of types of Floating Floor, from wear-resistant laminates to beautiful, real timber surfaced options. Depending on the type they can be clicked or glued together making assembly clean and efficient. The majority of floating floors come prefinished, which means no sanding, sealing or lacquering – less mess and less inconvenience for you. Instead you get spectacular results in less than half the time it takes to lay a traditional timber floor. Laminate Floating Floors: Made from high-density fiberboard that supports a photo-reproduction of real timber and a polymer coating, laminate floating floors are a practical alternative to conventional wooden surfaces. They are extremely tough, more resistant to scratching, denting and staining than timber floors and wear very well in spaces of heavy traffic, particularly in households with children and pets, or rental properties where tenants may move furniture every few years. Laminate floors are around 7mm to 8mm thick. Timber Surfaced Floating Floors: These are typically thicker than laminates and made from a solid timber core that supports a top layer of real timber, machined to perfection. Coated with multiple layers of polyurethane, the surface of these floors is durable while allowing the natural beauty of real timber to shine through. These floors can be re-sanded and re-coated in years to come, ensuring your investment lasts the test of time. Timber Floating Floors are around 12 - 14mm thick. Underlay: These come in a range of different types, some with built in moisture barriers. We would recommend the thicker, acoustic underlay which absorbs much of the sound sometimes associated with floating floors.
