Solid Timber Flooring

Solid timber flooring is manufactured from a single piece of hardwood and is known for its structural strength, long lifespan, and ability to be resanded and refinished over time. This flooring type performs well under high foot traffic and is compatible with various subfloor systems, including joists, battens, and plywood. Our range is suited to a variety of design styles and site conditions, making it a practical choice for builders, architects, and homeowners seeking a reliable, long-term flooring solution.

Questions we get asked about solid timber flooring

Tongue-and-groove boards go over joists, battens or a plywood sheet fixed to the slab. They are not glued straight to concrete.

How many times can a solid floor be sanded?

A 19 mm board can be sanded and refinished several times over its life, which is the main reason to choose solid over engineered for a home you will keep.

Grey ironbark and Spotted Gum are the hardest we stock, followed by Blackbutt and Sydney Blue Gum. Tasmanian Oak and American Oak are softer but easier to work and finish.
