For many years people living in units and high-rise buildings have not been able to live their best life. Generally, unit or apartment owners will get to a point where they will want to look at renovating their homes. Whilst they are limited by layout and space provided by their dwelling of choice, they are also limited by stringent body corporate rules they must adhere to. For too long hardwood flooring has been thought of as a no go zone due to acoustics issues that arise. In this article, we are going to explode the myth that you can’t have the flooring you want in a high rise and thanks to quality underlay, those of you contemplating a reno should definitely consider all types of Clever’s Hardwood flooring.

Modern Living

Whilst Australia hasn’t reached the levels of Asia and Europe with high-density living, the need to accommodate the growing population has seen a marked increase over the years. No longer are high-rise, high-density dwellings just for hotels and holidaymakers, many Australians are choosing to live the high-rise life instead of owning their own block of dirt. There are many reasons for this but no matter the reasons, you shouldn’t be stopped from owning the home you want and have it styled in the way you want it. With the right underlay you can have the floor you have always wanted and live that high rise life, it’s the best of both worlds.

Misconceptions

There is no doubt there are several misconceptions when it comes to installing Hardwood flooring in a unit or apartment. The main one being: –
