Why timber flooring makes the perfect choice for an office space

Not only does it have benefits for individuals within, it also is a natural insulator, therefore with proper installation from our in house team, using timber flooring can reduce heat and cooling costs resulting in a more comfortable working environment.
Why colour tones play such a major role

Timber flooring is available in a range of styles, finishes and widths that allow you to have more flexibility with the final look of your flooring. The colour you choose will have a drastic effect on your developments aesthetic. Using light and white tones will give the room a Scandinavian feel, creating a minimalist, distraction-free space that induces a sense of openness, perfect for welcoming staff and visitors into a contemporary building each day.
If you are renovating a space to create the perfect workshop, why not reflect the creative edge and use natural, rustic, reclaimed timber on the floors. If on the other hand, you’re looking to create a powerful, dramatic boardroom to promote knowledge and help place yourself as a market leader why not use dark timber colours like greys and blacks which provide a high-class luxury finish to any room.
