The benefits of manufacturing timber flooring to meet design specifications and budgets
At Edgewoods we have exceptional supplier partnerships allowing us to provide a full range of the best timber flooring on the market. We recognise that sometimes supply products do not meet design specifications and project budgets; this is why we have our own manufacturing department.
The knowledge and expertise our team has acquired over the years allow us to make smart and innovative decisions throughout our manufacturing processes which helps to cut costs and create flooring choices which meet the standards of developers, architects and builders.
Design Specifications
Once a brief has been received, it often requires designers, builder and developers to search through a number of different suppliers to find a product that is of the correct colour, size grain and finish. Sometimes such a flooring does not exist and the best alternative is chosen affecting the aesthetic of a space. At Edgewoods our manufacturing department allows us to provide a customised product that suits a specific development allowing you to find the perfect timber flooring.
Whether you are looking for a subtle, minimal product that will blend into a contemporary design or are looking for a prestigious, high-end product that promotes luxury or tradition, our team will work with you to create a floor that satisfies briefs stipulations and makes a statement within the environment.
Budgets and turnaround times
We understand how important it is to stick to budget and timescales. With quick access to some of the most popular and high-quality wood floors through our supply partnerships, we have access to constant stock. Our manufacturing team has the ability to customise these boards in the form of colour, grain, thickness, finishes or base layer construction. Creating a bespoke timber floor does not cost anymore and will not delay any projects timeline; in fact, we can turn around samples in two weeks.
When it comes to creating a floor that will suit budgets there are a number of ways to modify flooring in a way which does not compromise quality. Adapting the thickness of the top layer does not mean a reduction in quality, performance, structure or stability. Therefore, our engineered boards come in a range of 2mm, 3mm, 4mm and 6mm.
One way to create a feature floor is to use a number of board widths and lengths. Often seen within European design, customising these features can have an instant impact that makes the perfect addition to any traditional or contemporary space. Having the ability to adjust timber boards to suit specifications allows us to refine the thickness of the boards to fit into any development, without compromising on the quality.
Installation
At Edgewoods our large internal installation team works in conjunction with our manufacturing department allowing us to work on multiple development projects at once. There are a number of systems used when installing timber floor. The decision whether to use a click system that is ‘loose laid’ or a tongue and grooved board that is a direct stick will affect the cost both in terms of the material and the installation costs.
Throughout our manufacturing process, our team will make smart decisions on behalf of your project. One way to cut down lead times is through having ready boards at the factory waiting for final finishing only. This alone can reduce lead times by up to 4 weeks! Using our in-house installation team and the right management cuts installation time, saving you money!
