Perhaps you have a timber floor and want it looking great again.

Or maybe you’ve been daunted by the process of getting and installing a timber floor, but you’ve always wanted one.

We spoke with JB Timber Flooring about installing and caring for a timber floor.

Everything Geraldton - Where do people start if they want a timber floor?

JB - A lot of people want a timber floor, but they just know if they want a "dark” or a “light"timber. People can be assured that our 15+ years of experience will ensure that we can take into account their needs, budget and their lifestyle and make sure they get a floor that will look great and last for years to come. There are different densities or hardness of timbers and that is just one thing to consider when choosing your floor.

We can assist with the supply of wood, the installation, and sanding and polishing. In fact if you contact us, you will be dealing with the expert tradesman from initial decisions through to the finished product.

We can also do a free measure and formal quote so you know exactly what to expect.

Everything Geraldton - If people have an existing floor, what can they do to get it looking great?

JB - Sanding and polishing. We do a lot of sanding and polishing in Geraldton. It will make it look brand new as it removes scratches. Then we reapply new polish which protects the timber for years to come.

There are different types of polish and finishes available - High Gloss, Semi Gloss and Satin finishes, in a solvent or water based polish.

Everything Geraldton - Have you got any tips for caring for timber floors?

JB - Keeping water off it is a big one. A lot of people use water to wash their floors.

It’s best to use a damp cloth to spot clean and use limited water on a mop.

Always use felt protection on the bottom of furniture to reduce scratches.

And never use any chemical cleaning products.
