TimberTop Aspen
Timber flooring. It’s typically loved by Kiwis with matai and rimu flooring being found in many homes of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s throughout the country. Much of it is buried underneath layers of carpet, underlay and vinyl flooring, some of it proudly restored and shown off as a unique feature and a nod to the home’s history. However, as beautiful as these timbers were as floors in times gone by, care was not taken to ensure that they were being felled in a sustainable way and native forests were quickly depleted. In 1949 The Forests Act became legislation which was the beginning of the end for native timber being used as flooring in our homes. These changes naturally resulted in carpet and vinyl flooring becoming the floor coverings of choice as technologies for these products developed.
The Forests Act 1949 was created to protect our native forests.
