TIMBER
The timber used for floorboards will be EUROPEAN HARD MAPLE The floor boards will be approximately 6 cm to 7 cm width, random length and 21 mm thick, but only one width of material will be used for any single line.
The ends will be grooved and joined with a torque.

Total height/thickness of the flooring will be : 76 mm OR 84 mm
FLOOR BOARD FINISHING : The wooden floor board thus laid will be sanded first for uniform level . One coat of a mixture of sawdust with adhesive will be laid above the sanded surface to fill the voids and gaps in the floor board surface . The surface thus coated will be sanded again [ after drying ] to get a smooth , uniform and levelled floor board surface .
The levelled surface will be polished with one coat of branded polish [ PU or ECOSTAR ] followed by game line marking and a final second coat of polish .
The final coating finish given to floor is only a protective coating and not for its aesthetic appeal or furniture finish. The coating is only meant to protect the wood from external elements.
A gap of approximately 6mm to 8 mm will be kept on all four sides between the wooden flooring and the walls to allow natural expansion of wood and this should not be treated as a defect
