(prHWY.com) January 10, 2013 - Eltham, Australia -- Hardwood timber flooring is often considered as a popular choice for wooden flooring. Timber flooring is mostly taken into consideration for its aesthetic beauty as well as durability and restorability. Hardwood timber flooring is believed to be very classy in look and therefore used to add aristocracy in the look of your home or office and institutions. Timber flooring is cut into shapes from exotic hardwood timber materials and various material resources milled from various places.
There are lumbers sent to mills where planks are sawed into, in proper cuts and shapes of same sizes by professional handlers. Planks are cut generally, from single piece of timber or timber material of same quality into same size and same thickness. The timber woods then, after cut into sizes and shapes, are put into kiln dried equipment. This is done for a specified period of time, in a measured temperature and controlled humid conditions with a view to season them, so that, they can weather any and every type of conditions in the future and not get buckled or get deformed to disfigure the structure where they are fixed into. The solid timber boards which are kiln dried would next be milled on machines with beveled edges and Tongue and Groove joints as unfinished solid timber, raw wood, which would be used for flooring.
Among different countries worldwide, in general, tropical hardwood variety obtained from South East of Asia, South America and African countries are considered the mainstream variety of the wood material which are used for the hardwood timber type flooring there. These solid wood are obtained from species like teak, mahogany, cumaru, kempas, Brazilian cherry wood, Ipe, Merbau, and Iroko in countries here. Besides, in Europe as well as Russia, for Hardwood Timber Flooring the mainstream wood that are used are obtained from Oak, Ash, Birch etc. which are further processed and then used for the purpose of solid hardwood flooring. Whereas in Asia, Africa the teak and the mahogany types are considered to be classy variety used for the purpose, in Europe, particularly Oak is considered as the number one in the timber flooring market.
Hardwood timber flooring thus is processed hundred percent from real, natural hardwood. Beside being natural, in such case of hardwood timber flooring, hardness too is one of the most important factors to evaluate the quality and the solidity of the material. The solidity is vital as it makes the floor material all the more dent resistant for the foot traffic that the floor has to bear during its usage. It may be noted here that the Janka Hardness test is the measure to testify the resistance quality of the type of wood used for the flooring. The hardness factor in this case for teak is more than 3500 pounds-force and that of oak is around 1400 pounds-force.
The moisture content of hardwood flooring is too below 12% which is advantageous for this type of flooring. Besides, the better the grade of quality, better is the finish. With that the wood definitely adds gloss and style to the finish.
