SOLID HARDWOOD FLOORING

We sell a wide range of solid strip timber flooring in different species, widths, and grades. The traditional solid strip timber floor is renowned for its strength, durability, long lifetime, and character. Solid timber flooring can be refreshed and rejuvenated to practically new condition with resanding and repolishing.

Solid timber is sold in “packs”, and some boards can be up to 6m long! This means that solid timber is delivered by crane truck.

INSTALLATION (click to expand)

There is a variety of solid strip timber flooring installation methods, dependent on the type of subfloor and the width of the flooring.

Secret nailing: in this installation method, the nail is shot directly into the “tongue” part of the board.

SANDING

Solid timber is sold as a raw / unfinished product. This means that after the completion of the installation, a sander must come to site to sand and finish the floor.

You can choose from a variety of finishes (e.g. water or polyurethane based) and various levels of gloss for the finish.
