Big River Timber: Unveiling Unique Elegance

ArmourFloor-Engineered Timber Overlay stands out as a remarkable product from Big River Timber, offering unparalleled charm and character.

Formerly known as MIB Timber Floors, we have installed and treated countless square metres of this exquisite timber, unveiling its distinct allure. What sets it apart is Big River’s method of peeling the log to craft the product, akin to unwrapping glad wrap. This process not only reveals magnificent grains but also gives rise to visible stress fractures, a feature cherished by some and shunned by others, yet undeniably unique to this product.

Floor can finish your Big River Engineered flooring in various delightful ways. Every image showcased here, including the header title picture, features the same floor. Initially coated with a water-based finish that failed to protect the floor and acquired a yellowish tint, we diligently restored its true colour and shielded it with natural burnishing oil.

Refurbishing Big River Timber: Restoring Beauty

Regrettably, many ‘Professional Floor Sanders’ lack an understanding of Armourfloor, resulting in misguided advice. Often, they suggest the entire floor needs replacement when, in reality, a simple sanding and polishing suffice.

Irrespective of your Big River floor’s condition, Floor can revitalize it effortlessly. Armourfloor boasts a 4mm veneer, allowing for complete sanding and refinishing. If your floor’s finish with shiny two-pack polyurethane accentuates undesirable squiggles, we offer trowel filling to mitigate this effect. Polyurethane tends to deepen stress fractures, forming a V shape, thus filling and sanding back the floor helps diminish this phenomenon.

Alternatively, we can opt for a stunning, non-toxic burnishing oil finish. This penetrating oil not only enhances the timber’s natural beauty but also provides protection. Unlike traditional oil finishes, natural oil does not form a skin, thereby avoiding the amplification of stress fractures.

Unfortunately, many floors have been inadequately treated by unlicensed and untrained floor sanders, failing to realize their full potential. Floor can breathe new life into your Big River Timber Floors, surpassing their original allure.
