Laminated flooring, on the other hand, is made of several layers of materials including a high-density fiberboard (HDF) core, a photographic layer that simulates the appearance of wood, and a clear protective layer on top.Solid wood flooring offers a natural and authentic look with unique grain patterns and color variations. Laminated flooring can also mimic the appearance of wood, but the pattern is printed on the surface and can repeat itself across several planks, making it look less authentic.

Tropical hardwood are known for their durability, strength, and resistance to decay, insect damage, and weathering. However, it's important to note that proper maintenance and treatment are still necessary to ensure the longevity and performance of the wood.
Wood is a hygroscopic material, which means it can absorb and release moisture from the surrounding environment. It can cause the timber to swell or shrink.
To prevent moisture-related issues, it's important to ensure that the moisture content of the wood is appropriate for the environment where it will be installed. This can be achieved by acclimating the wood to the installation site and controlling the indoor humidity level.
Minimum acclimatize period recommended is 3 weeks.
Yes, small gaps or minor warping can occur during the acclimation phase. As the wood adjusts, it may shrink or expand, but once the acclimation period is over, the wood should settle. After acclimation, the wood will be resanded and varnished to smooth out any irregularities and ensure a perfect finish. This final sanding and finishing help seal the wood, making it less susceptible to moisture changes and preventing further movement.
