Increase Your Home’s Resale Value By Revamping the Flooring

Anyone who has been through the process of selling their home understands the overwhelming stress involved. Many pieces must come together to prepare a home to be shown to potential buyers. You will probably clear out the cluttered spaces of your house and attempt to stage rooms to show their best qualities to others.

All of these tasks accomplish the same goal of increasing the appeal and value of a home. However, one of the most important factors of a home’s value is glossed over easily in the rush of staging and cleaning. Do not make the mistake of leaving your home’s flooring an afterthought when selling your home.

Potential buyers pay attention to the flooring in the houses they tour. Imagine it from their perspective. Updating the floors in a home you just bought is a big, unnecessary headache compared to investing in a move-in ready home. A house has more value to a buyer if they do not need to worry about replacing the floors.

Find out whether you need to revamp the flooring in your home before selling. There are many details to consider, including the size of the project and the style of floor used. You should also compare the cost versus the value of new flooring.

Essential flooring tips to increase value

Choose timber flooring before carpet

Do not mix and match flooring styles

Repair and refinish when possible

Engineered flooring

Hardwood flooring incurs a lot of costs for supply, installation, and maintenance. If you are looking for the same real timber appearance without the price, engineered timber is an ideal option. Many engineered timber flooring can be installed with a quick and efficient floating floor method without compromising on stability and durability. The top layer is a beautiful and authentic timber veneer.

Engineered flooring might be the direction for your home if you have lower starting property value. Hardwood flooring will not impact your resale value as much, which means your return on investment could be negligible. A cheaper option with the same lovely look of timber is appealing for homey buyers and sellers.

Flooring 2 You has several excellent engineered timber ranges available.

Laminate flooring

Laminate is a hard flooring surface that provides durability and reliability for years in a house. Homebuyers want to see well-maintained, consistent flooring in a home before making an offer.

Consider the characteristics of a laminate flooring brand from the perspective of a buyer. As you pick one to replace the floors in your home, imagine the qualities that would appeal to you the most. Long-lasting durability and realistic designs are vital. Look for a brand that protects against dents, scratches, and cuts.

Other Matter, Algae Bioplastic Vessels

Other Matter is the multifaceted studio of experimental designer Jessie French, exploring the creation of seaweed-based bioplastics. Jessie’ Melbourne based design studio is the first in the world to offer custom-made, algae-based bioplastic designs, resulting in aesthetically striking pieces reminiscent of glass that are recyclable, biodegradable, and can be composted in a home system.

Other Matter supports Jessie’s vision for a ‘post-petrochemical’ world: an economic model that substitutes plastic products made from mined petroleum with biodegradable ‘plastic’ made from biological substances.

Jordy + Julia Kay of Great Wrap, Great Wrap – The only Australian made compostable cling wrap

Recognising the waste created by conventional cling wrap, an architect and a natural winemaker teamed up to create Great Wrap. This certified home-compostable cling wrap performs exactly like conventional cling wrap, except it breaks down into carbon and water in less than 180 days when composted.

Great Wrap is made from potato waste and a mix of other compostable biopolymers, and manufactured for home and industrial use at a solar powered factory on the Mornington Peninsula.

Ettitude, CleanBamboo

While many companies offer bamboo bedding using toxic rayon or viscose technology, ettitude spent years refining and testing its signature CleanBamboo textile to create a bamboo fabric that is 100% biodegradable and produced in a closed-loop system. The 100% bamboo lyocell has a sateen weave that provides its signature silky-soft feel, and is only available through ettitude.

Compared to cotton, one set of CleanBamboo ettitude sheets requires just one tenth of the water to manufacture. The brand’s technology reuses water up to 200 times, recycling 98% of water in the process.

Pleasant State + Pop & Pac, Pleasant State – Drop into the Revolution

With the objective of reducing Australia’s single-use plastics, Pleasant State developed Australia’s first just-add-water cleaning products. Simply fill their reusable 500ml glass bottle with warm water, drop in the concentrated cleaning bar, wait for it to dissolve, then get cleaning. The product is zero waste, non-toxic, effective and stylish to encourage consumers to make the switch.

Since August 2020, Pleasant State estimated they’ve saved over 20,000 plastic cleaning bottles from landfill.

Use Daily, Various Origins

Believe it or not, Use Daily’s stylish bags are made from discarded outdoor materials such as awnings, tents and tarps all sourced in Melbourne from roadsides, demolitions and secondhand. Recognising the further potential of these durable and water-resistant materials, they have been transformed into practical, functional bags designed to be used daily.

The sustainable accessory label was founded in 2020 by multidisciplinary designers Cleo Coppinger and Joshua Anderson, with bags made in Fitzroy North by local maker Vanessa Flynn. Use Daily challenges perceptions of what is considered valuable, and the current model of mass production and mass waste.

ROCC Naturals, ROCC Naturals – brand launch

Every year an estimated 1,500,000,000 toothpaste tubes enter landfill, all of which live there for 500+ years. Responding to this major problem, ROCC Naturals launched Australia’s first biodegradable toothpaste tube. Each tube breaks down in landfill in as little as six years and is engineered in a way to not break into microplastics.

ROCC Naturals’ brand identity designed by Date of Birth agency differs from other natural toothpastes in the market to offer a visual identity that’s both nostalgic and brand new at the same time. The design-inspired toothpaste is intended to sit proudly on your sink, not in your drawer.

The Better Uniforms Co., Sustainable Better Uniforms

The Better Uniforms Co. was created to fulfil a gap in the market for sustainable, premium and fashion-led uniforms. Their minimal, aesthetic uniforms are made-to-order using organic fabrics and ethical manufacturing, resulting in durable uniforms delivered in four to six weeks.

The company uses GOTS certified organic cotton from fair-trade certified farms, which means less damage to the soil, less impact on the air, less water, less energy and more support for the farmers and their communities. The company’s dye process is also certified to OEKO TEX 100 standards. Items are long lasting and competitively priced compared among leading Australian industry suppliers.

Convolo Design, H_Station

Hydrogen Fuels Australia are providing a revolutionary alternative to fossil fuels, and seeking to reimagine the future of vehicle design and mobility. In response, designer Sarah Ceravolo imagined H_Station – a hydrogen refuelling station for the future. H_Station is a modular construction with a light footprint on the land it resides on, and therefore can be easily and delicately relocated, preserving natural ecosystems. The site is planned for its first stage of construction to be completed in February 2022 in Truganina, Melbourne.

Single Use Ain’t Sexy, Dissolvable Hand Soap Tablet & Reusable Glass Soap Bottle

Australians reportedly each use 130kg of plastic every year, less than 12% of which gets recycled. Single Use Ain’t Sexy set out to create a stylish solution to save single-use plastic soap bottles from landfill, leading to the creation of Australia’s first dissolvable hand soap tablet. Just add water into their reusable glass bottle, and wash your hands – without plastic waste.

Single Use Ain’t Sexy has now saved up to 125,000 single-use plastic bottles from landfill!

Nobody Denim and GEORGE, Woven Bag

The objective of this project was to reduce Nobody Denim’s footprint and reimagine commercial textile waste. Cut offs otherwise destined for landfill were gathered from the denim label’s cutting room floor, and rerouted into the hands of weaver and designer, Georgina Whigham. In her Canberra studio, on behalf of her eponymous label GEORGE, Georgina wove this series of truly unique one of a kind recycled denim hats and bags.

Revival Projects, Zero Footprint Repurposing initiative at Ferrars Street

On half a South Melbourne block demolished to make way for new development, Revival Projects have salvaged over 2000 lineal metres of timber beams, and are using them to manufacture furniture and joinery. This manufacturing is being completed entirely in a workshop on site, and items will feature in the eventual development. The workshop will be demolished upon the initiative’s completion, effectively leaving zero footprint.

Laminate Flooring Manufacture & Installation in Canberra

Furnish your space with the look of real hardwood without stretching the budget. Laminate floors utilise cutting edge photographic technology to simulate the stain, graining, and texture of wood for a fraction of the price. Some other popular flooring options other than laminate flooring include vinyl flooring, bamboo flooring, cork flooring, hybrid flooring and timber flooring.

With laminate flooring you can easily add a touch of style and sophistication to any space. Laminate is very durable and suited to most areas of the home, including living areas such as dining rooms, lounge rooms, hallways and bedrooms.

What are the benefits of wood laminate flooring?

Beyond the obvious visual appeal of wood laminate flooring, this increasingly popular multi-layer synthetic solution comes with many benefits:

Laminate is easy to maintain and keep clean. We recommend using dry cleaning methods where possible, such as with a vacuum, broom, or laminate floor cleaner, to avoid exposing the floors to water damage.

Unlike more traditional flooring products, such as timber floors, laminate planks contain a “wear layer” which adds an extra dimension of durability, making the product ultra-resistant to common blemishes and defects such as dents and scratches. For even greater peace of mind, consider adding a rug to protect high foot-traffic areas.

Laminate flooring allows you to accurately simulate the appearance and texture of more expensive flooring products such as oak or Australian Species such as Blackbutt and Spotted Gum. It’s also available in a wide range of wood look styles and colours to suit any décor, including timber or wood look laminate. Popular colour variants include white (light), black (dark), mid and grey laminate flooring.

The clicking and locking mechanism in contemporary laminate floor boards makes for a hassle-free installation process. It’s a relatively fast and easy flooring product to install, making it a great option for DIY fitouts. If you choose to engage a qualified builder, you can often get it installed for less than typical tile, bamboo, or hardwood flooring.

Finding Timber Flooring In Canberra? Come Flooring 2 You

Why choose timber flooring？

Timber flooring can be installed as solid timber or engineered boards. Engineered boards have the same feel and natural look of real species timber and are the perfect options for those who love timber but need to watch their budget. The cross laid solid Hevea Core and Spruce backing layer means you can enjoy your favourite timber species for a fraction of the price.

The best thing about timber floorboards is that the more you live on them, the more awesome they look! Timber flooring has an appeal that goes way beyond simple aesthetics. It’s a look and feel that touches the heart in a way other flooring types can’t.

There’s just something about the look of timber that gives off a beautiful character to any space, be it a home or a business. The natural tones and variations of hardwood floors are simply gorgeous, providing a robust and warm feel. The addition of wooden flooring brings a luxurious style that’s hard to imitate, and brings up the value of the property, too. Compared to laminate it’s more hardwearing and can be sanded or even re-stained lasting for generations. It also provides a much more authentically natural and timeless look than concrete or tiles.

Where To Buy Parquetry Flooring In Canberra？

Parquetry Floors Available In Flooring 2 You

Parquet (from the French “a small compartment”) is geometric pieces of wood used for a decorative pattern in flooring. Parquet patterns are often entirely geometrical & angular. The most popular pattern is herringbone, however, here at Flooring 2 You we do many variations of parquetry flooring.

Parquetry floors are a sustainable, high-end product, pleasing to the eye and easy to clean and maintain. Every floor is unique and can reflect the preferences of the home or business owner. Installing parquetry is the timeless craftsmanship laying small blocks of hardwood timber in different patterns which date back hundreds of years.

Why choose parquetry flooring?

We source the best timber raw materials : Our parquetry flooring products are manufactured using high quality wood.

Provide sales and door-to-door installation services: We’ll deliver your timber floor to any safe and accessible site in Canberra.

Sustainability matters: We source our timber parquetry from environmentally responsible mills because they are the most intensively managed in the world. By choosing timber, you are choosing the environment.

From a design perspective, there’s a range of benefits to incorporating a parquet timber floor into your design plan:

Aesthetics: Timber parquetry offers any space a classic and subtle beauty, or a modern talking point. Parquet floors are highly popular for their aesthetic value.

Durability: Prefinished parquet flooring blocks or boards are treated with an industrial grade finish, which means it will last longer than floors made with other materials.

Easy resurfacing: Spaces change over time. If you have the time and tools, timber parquetry is simple to sand or resurface.

Stability: Because an engineered parquet floor is made from three layers of wood, fitted together at 90 degree angles, movement between the boards is reduced compared to other timber floors. This means that an engineered parquetry timber floor is less susceptible to cupping, bowing and warping that a traditional solid timber floor.

Cost-effective: Particularly relevant for larger commercial projects, or open residential floor plans, prefinished parquetry is a cost-effective flooring solution. It can also make for a fantastic feature wall when used as cladding too!
