Choosing the best floor for a coastal home

How to Choose Timber Flooring For Your Coastal Home
Living in New Zealand, we are surrounded by an abundance of some of the most beautiful beaches in the world! While living by the beach has many joys, your selection of timber flooring can either add to your joy or start to diminish it.

Here are some tips on choosing the best floor for your coastal home, to ensure the longevity and durability of your stunning wooden floor.

  • Go For Engineered Flooring
Let’s face it.. New Zealand’s changing climate with warmer temperatures and higher humidity levels is undeniable. Due to the layered construction of engineered flooring, it has a higher resistance to moisture levels and greater stability against environmental changes. This means that it's less likely to shrink or cup when compared to solid flooring. While you still might experience some expanding and shrinking between boards, you would be minimising this by going with an engineered product.

​
  • Go for Texture and Grades
Choosing a Rustic or Farmhouse grade is generally a more affordable flooring option and adds depth and character to a home. Choosing a product that has more natural grains and effects will make scratches or marks in the floor a lot less obvious and won’t detract from the overall beauty of the floor.


  • Go for the Right Colours
Darker floors are alluring and enchanting and we love how they look in a home. However, living by the beach might be better suited to lighter palettes such as nudes and other white wash tones that don’t draw as much attention to things like dust that usually stand out on darker floors.


  • Think About Board Widths
Timber flooring that comes in wider board widths has become a lot more popular in recent years. Choosing to go wider can create a relaxed and open feel even if your coastal home is a smaller space.
