The art of installation

The art of installation 

With over 35 years of experience, Scribed Timber Flooring's focus is on the installation of timber and bamboo flooring, from run of the mill to the completely bespoke.

Scribed also supplies flooring product. Having close relationships with major mills, manufacturers & suppliers, they can offer clients unique grains and finishes.

Scribed are well known for quality workmanship as quality is always top of mind when it comes to both preparing product for installation and during the installation itself! 

Although the final product hinges mainly on how flooring is installed and finished, much of the result is also dependant on how the flooring product is prepared and managed to ensure the installation is as precise and high-quality as can be.

When it comes to preparing flooring product and managing through installation there is a heavy reliance in quality tools to give optimun results which sets up the job for a quality result!

Scribed use Festool extensively to acheive the best reults and has acheived many awards (13 time winners of the Australian Timber Flooring Association Floor of the Year award!) to show for the results of amazing workmanship and the talent their staff exhibit.

As Greg Ceglarski from Scribed Timber Flooring explains "We do all our cutting on Festool saws and we are now transitioning to the Sawstop..."  This is being done not only because of the quality and reliability of the Festool product but also because of safety. "We have had accidents in the past with trimmers and we are very aware of Work Safety...and there is nothing better than a tool that will keep your fingers safe"

As Greg explains, the benefits of the SawStop are many. Running two Dust Extractors with the TKS 80 SawStop, one to the shroud and the other to the saw exhaust, keeps dust and debris to an absolute minimum making for a clean and safe working environment.

The TKS 80 is not only a superb workshop saw bench, it is also extremely portable meaning it can be readily transported to the job site for rapid and accurate cutting of flooring on the spot!

The TKS 80 is also compatible with the MFT trolley that can quickly clip on to the TKS 80 and be used as a table extension when sawing extended lengths of timber "this makes sawing lengths of flooring a lot easier..." says Greg.

Making precise cuts is a breeze with the TKS, minute adjustmenst can be made with the large, adjustable rotary knobs allowing for the smallest, precise adjustmenst possible all done in seconds! Greg says after adjust the TKS 80 from a bevel cut to a straight cut "it's a simple as that...couldn't be any easier" "If I was to do the same adjustment on our cabinet saw...I have to loosen this knob...I have to crank this up...the part that actually tells me what the angle is, is usless, so I have to get a digital guage to give me the right angle" "It's slow and tedious and not very accurate" As Greg clearly demonstrates and articulates, the TKS 80 gives amazing results with maximum convenience!
