Overcoming Climate and Subfloor Challenges for Lasting Beauty and Durability.
The Challenge
The homeowner was looking to enhance the aesthetic appeal and durability of their home with premium timber flooring. However, the property presented several challenges:
- Uneven Subfloor: The existing subfloor had significant variations in height, making it unsuitable for direct timber installation.
- High Humidity Levels: Queensland's tropical climate, with high humidity and fluctuating temperatures, posed a risk of timber warping or swelling.
- Tight Timeline: The homeowner needed the project completed within a strict deadline to accommodate upcoming family events.
The Solution
To address these challenges, our team implemented a multi-step approach:
- Subfloor Preparation: We first levelled the subfloor using a high-performance self-levelling compound. This created a smooth, even surface, essential for a flawless timber finish.
- Moisture Barrier Installation: To combat the humidity, we installed a specialized moisture barrier to protect the timber from Queensland's climate. This step was crucial in preventing any future warping or swelling.
- Premium Timber Selection: We helped the client select a high-quality, engineered timber flooring that combined both beauty and durability. Engineered timber offers better stability in environments with varying humidity.
- Efficient Project Management: Despite the challenges, our experienced team worked diligently to ensure the project stayed on schedule. We employed advanced installation techniques to complete the project within the tight timeframe without sacrificing quality.
The Result
The finished project exceeded the client’s expectations.
- Aesthetics: The newly installed timber floors transformed the home's interior, giving it a warm, natural, and modern look.
- Durability: The moisture barrier and engineered timber provided long-lasting protection against Queensland’s humidity, ensuring the floors would maintain their integrity for years to come.
- On-Time Completion: The project was completed on time, allowing the homeowner to enjoy their beautifully renovated home for their upcoming family events.
