Big River will definitely be the best quality engineered flooring there is around. This is made with 5 layers in lieu of 3.

I have been told that the top layer is only 2.5mm, so wouldn't this give me less wear and maybe only one sand and polish? Managed to get a look at the Sydney blue gum yesterday, it is VERY red.

If you do still like the Silkwood, i would definitely recommend direct sticking of this product.

With direct sticking how does the timber move or expand, you must excuse my ignorance, and does that mean I would not need underlay, is it stuck directly onto the slab? If not what underlay should I be using?

Thanks again!

Honestly mate if your main concern is how many sands your going to get out of your floating floor I would highly recommend that you go for real timber.

Premium and Big River are great floating floors, if installed correctly (floor prepared and expansion allowed for) they last you years. Silkwood is great looking and is still a good product for floating but I do know heaps of installers do like to direct stick it, etc.

If you install any of these three you can't really go wrong as they've all got good backing, just find a retailer your confident in and next thing you know you'll have a great looking floor in your house.

One last question...I promise.

Readyflor Vs Boral Silkwood, Is Readyflor's middle layer better than the Silkwood as it is made from hardwood whereas Boral is thick pine? Is Readyflor top layer Australian timber? Readyflor total thickness 14mm, Boral 15mm.

So in you opinion, which is the better floor???
