Solid or engineered: we check first
- The Arte @ Thomson was completed in 2010. Bedrooms in developments of this age commonly have timber strip flooring, which may be solid or engineered.
- Solid timber can take a full sanding. Engineered timber has a thinner top layer, so we usually recommend a light sand and recoat.
