A lot of houses on the Gold Coast have wooden floors they look good, wood is cooler than carpet and easier to clean and maintain.
The problem is that if you get termites in them you can’t just take up one or two boards and replace them. You have to re-do the whole thing.
I’m not saying “don’t get timber flooring in your house”, just make sure that if you do your house is regularly inspected and has a termite management program to prevent the sort of problems the people in the this photo are going through.
