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.

BEST PRICES AVAILABLE, PASSED ON TO THE CUSTOMER
We work with a wide range of high quality solid timber suppliers, which gives us access to a selection of various prices and specials. Some suppliers may offer better prices on products they have lots of stock. If something is out of stock with one supplier, we have other suppliers to source it from.

CHOOSE YOUR WIDTH
(Wider widths generally more expensive)
NARROW: 80mm, 85mm, 90mm, and 95mm options available depending on supplier
STANDARD: 130mm
WIDE: 180mm and over
Note: Boards 180mm and over in width must be top nailed (as opposed to invisible secret nailing for narrower boards). This is an unpopular installation method. We recommend checking out engineered timber flooring instead.

SOLID BLOCK PARQUETRY
The majority of the above species are also available as a block parquetry floor!
Solid block parquetry comes in small individual pieces (like pictured above), generally 260x65mm. The installer then lays each piece individually to form beautiful patterns.
