Fourteen

Brought together to share the diversity of Australian hardwood species in one of Hurford’s most loved flooring collections. Solid Hardwood Flooring is an investment for a lifetime, it not only adds value to your home but makes a high-end style statement all on its own. FOURTEEN has been fully designed and tested for optimal performance as a floor covering, it has unique attributes that work in harmony with the fixing methods and the subfloor to ensure a balanced stable floor is achieved.

Product Information

FOURTEEN is available in a number of hardwood species, New England Blackbutt, Blackbutt, Brush Box, Blue Gum, Turpentine, Tallowwood, Thermally Enhanced, Ironbark, Grey Ironbark, Roasted Cayenne, Roasted Peat and Spotted Gum. Please note, 3 species are stocked in NZ, (Blackbutt, Spotted Gum and Thermal Blue Gum), whilst the remaining species are shipped to NZ by order only.

FOURTEEN has been specifically designed for secret fixing to plywood or particleboard using adhesive and concealed mechanical fixings. FOURTEEN has been pre-straightened using a proprietary method which Hurfords have developed and enables clean straight lines to be achieved when the flooring is installed, as well as assisting in a faster installation process. Hurfords have developed unique product specific drying and processing techniques that assure the quality and stability of all FOURTEEN floors.

The Secret Nail Wide Board Overlay has been specifically developed and manufactured to provide a wide board flooring product with improved stability. Due to the board being thinner we are able to achieve better drying with a more consistent moisture content through the floorboard. With thinner flooring fully trowel glued, the adhesive has a greater ability to hold down the top shoulders minimizing cupping and movement.

As the FOURTEEN series is pre-straightened and flattened for ease of installation, and with today’s fixing technology a balance between the timber and subfloor is important and it should not be presumed that thicker boards will be more stable.

Below are species stocked in NZ. Please contact us for lead times on all other species.
