What types of wood floors are available?
A wooden floor can consist of either planks, boards, laminated boards, battens or blocks. Within each product there are many constructions, qualities, types of wood and prices.Solid and slat parquet
Planks
Blocks
Wooden floors are also often divided into 2 categories; namely load-bearing and non-load-bearing. In a load-bearing wooden floor, the floorboards are thick. This means that they can bear the weight of furniture, machines and people. Wooden floors are laid on beams or a substrate of, for example, joists, to which the floor is then nailed down. Load-bearing wooden floors can be board and plank floors as well as parquet boards.
For wooden floors that are not load-bearing, you must install a load-bearing subfloor. You can install a non-load-bearing floor as a floating one. This means that the wooden floor can move freely in relation to the load-bearing subfloor, or you can nail or glue it to the substrate. Lamella and block floors but also parquet battens are non-load-bearing wooden floors.
Floorboards are solid wooden boards that are then planed and planed. These are available in several thicknesses and widths and the length here can vary greatly. Most often you will experience a tension groove on the back of the boards themselves. This is to counteract curvature of the boards. Floorboards are often also called planks. Boards that must be self-supporting must have a thickness of at least 2 cm and the thicker the boards are, the more distance there can be between the supports.
There is a huge selection of wood species and varieties. All have the specific properties relevant to wooden floors. Not all types of wood are equally suitable as new wooden floors. Floorboards are available in softwood and hardwood, for example.
Advantages of wooden floors
Wood is a living product. So it expands and contracts depending on the humidity where a wooden floor is located.Boards and planks are suitable for, for example, old buildings where there is no solid subfloor. If you install the boards in new buildings without joists, you must lay them on new joists. The nails to secure the boards should be chosen according to the type of wood and they must be able to be attached. You can also secure the boards to the joists with screws, which may be countersunk, and then the screw hole can be closed with a wooden plug.
For many, solid wood floors are elegant and warm in surface with the natural shape of the wood. Wooden floors that are laid on joists or beams are more elastic and also more comfortable to walk on and help to give you good acoustics in the room. The solid plank floors on joists contribute to a better indoor climate, as they absorb and release moisture into the room. A solid wood floor can be sanded many times and therefore has a very long lifespan. Most parquet-built wood floors can also be sanded several times. How often this is possible depends on how thick the wear layer is. The wear layer must be at least 2 mm thick for you to sand the floor.
Oak is a hard-wearing wood floor and a fantastic material. It is also one of the most durable wood floors available. It is hardwood that has been used as new wood floors for many years. You often see beautiful oak wood floors in castles, manors and more where the oak floor is old, but where the condition is still top-notch.
One of the many solid properties of oak floors is its grain structure. The natural patterns in oak floors grow and age. This gives oak floors their special appearance. The warm shades of oak plank floors have made oak popular. Oak plank floors never seem to go out of style.
There are several good reasons to choose wooden floors.
Wooden floors are a robust material and very resistant to wear. Wooden floors are also natural, as they come from a natural resource. Wooden floors often also provide very pleasant surfaces and there are hardly any other materials that provide such a varied surface structure as a new wooden floor. A new wooden floor is also pleasant, slightly springy to walk on, and it often feels warm. The different materials give you the opportunity for different types of patterns and expressions. For example, a light wooden floor - and even a durable wooden floor.Wooden floors are also very pleasant to work with. A wooden floor is also easy to handle and install. Whether you lay it yourself or leave it to some craftsmen. A plank floor is one of the most durable wooden floors available. Herringbone parquet also lasts a very long time. However, the lighter types of wood such as pine, beech and spruce are less durable wooden floors.
Consider wooden floors in your plans
Not all wooden floors are equally suitable for installation. For example, wooden floors should not be installed in a bathroom. It is important to ensure that wooden floors are suitable where they are needed. You should also consider whether a wooden floor is a sensible choice in the kitchen, utility room or basement. In the kitchen and utility room, a wooden floor is worn a lot, and if you choose a wooden floor here, you should choose a durable floor. In a basement, there is moisture that you should be aware of in relation to any new wooden floor.In some rooms, a wooden floor wears out more than in other rooms. Often in rooms where there is a lot of traffic. Therefore, it is also important that you consider where your wooden floor should be. In the kitchen and hallway, there is usually a lot of walking and where the wooden floor is worn out a lot. Here, a durable wooden floor with good wear resistance is preferable. It is also important that you take into account the type of substrate you have. Wooden floors can be laid on a flat surface, while you must ensure that the wooden floor is self-supporting if it is to be laid on beams or joists, for example. If you have underfloor heating, you must also ensure that your wooden floor is suitable for this.
