With Easter just around the corner, many homeowners will start to plan renovation jobs for the four-day weekend. Boral Timber is encouraging home improvers to embrace timber - instead of a paintbrush - for an autumn makeover.
Quick fixes aren’t limited to a coat of new paint. Timber provides a striking, affordable solution, lending itself to an array of applications. From edging to vertical wall panelling, timber introduces warmth, colour and texture to re-invigorate the home.
Hardwood timber decking can feature indoors as well as out, providing a fresh aesthetic. Use it to create a beautiful, rich-coloured tabletop and seating or as a decorative screen to divide the room. Outdoors, garden beds, entertaining areas and water features can all be framed with decking timber for a fast transformation. Structural hardwood timber can also be used to build a stylish pergola. Add to this by designing a timber day bed or garden bench to be placed inside.
Equally, laying a timber floor doesn’t have to be time-intensive. Boral Timber’s hardwood engineered flooring range, Boral Silkwood, is a pre-finished product, ready to lay without the need for sanding or polishing. Practical and convenient, the floor can be walked on within hours of installation.
Boral Silkwood can be laid over a variety of level, solid and dry subfloors including concrete slabs, particle board or plywood, tiles or existing timber floors and is easy to clean and maintain. Its UV coating also makes it scratch resistant.
Additionally, using timber has environmental benefits as it is a natural and fully renewable resource. All Boral Timber products are certified as being sourced from sustainable and legal resources.
