Victorian Ash Flooring – The Ultimate Hardwood Floor
What if we can improve one of the most lasting and affordable wood flooring in history? Builders used it for centuries, but still, there’s a better choice.
Solid oak flooring is one of the most popular hardwood flooring in Australia. It’s called the king of hardwood floors for a reason. It’s durable, accessible, and long-lasting. Which is the reason oak floor is the top choice of real-estate developers.
But, it has its drawbacks. The biggest problem is their vulnerability against moisture and humidity. The installation process is challenging. Fastening the solid hardwood to bare concrete slabs is difficult. It also needs a considerable investment to maintain oak floorboards.
The better alternative? Try Victorian Ash Flooring.
What is Victorian Ash Engineered Flooring?
Engineered Victorian Ash Flooring is a combination of layered hardwood and plywoods. Oak wood is on both the top and the bottom. The middle are layers of plywood that act as the core of the wood flooring. A beautiful, hard-wearing coating and a superior substrate are the results.
The design is to save cost, ease of installation, and sustainability in mind.
How Is Our Victorian Ash Flooring Constructed?
The Victorian Ash engineered hardwood floors are made by alternating the plies. Each ply is rotated 90 degrees to reduce contraction and expansion. This also makes it easy to install on concrete slabs. The more plies Australian wood floor has, the harder the core material becomes.
The wear layer is glued on top of the plywood core to serve its aesthetic value.
The Benefits Of Our Victorian Ash Flooring
First off, engineered Australian floorboards are competitive against solid oak hardwood floors. Thinner layer of hardwood is placed on top of the floorboards. It results in a reduced amount of oak hardwood for each wood floor.
Engineered Australian hardwood is easy to install. There’s no need for an extra cost of adding subfloor to glue down on.
A solid Victorian Ash floor is stacked in 90 degree layers, so it won’t expand or contract like a solid wood floor.
On top of that, it is water-resistant
How does it differ from other Oak Floorings?
The appearance of the two surfaces of Australian hardwood floors is the same. Engineered flooring, though, is wider. The Victorian Ash Floor is almost mostly sold in pre-finished surfaces.
Designed for humid climates, the engineered Victorian Ash is heat-resistant. Because of the layer of plywoods underneath, it is more stable and less likely to compress and bulge.
Installation is more challenging for solid hardwood. It’s not easy to fasten onto concrete slabs and it requires a subfloor to make it possible. Doing so would also cause it to bulge or contort. The engineered Victorian Ash flooring nails easily or is glued directly to concrete slabs.
Engineered Australian hardwood floors are priced similar to that of solid flooring. At the same time, the former is eco-friendly because there is less oak wood used here. That makes it sustainable, a better choice if you’re environment friendly.
Environmental sustainability should always be one of the important things to consider. Which is why you can trust Oslek Flooring in helping you transform your home. Your home deserves a good wood flooring like the Victorian Ash Flooring. They are the leading experts in Melbourne and Sydney areas.
