Engineered Timber Flooring
Engineered timber flooring combines a real hardwood veneer with a multi-layer core for enhanced stability and moisture resistance. Ideal for Melbournes variable climate, it suits kitchens, living areas, and high-traffic commercial spaces. Our range includes oak in diverse finishes, widths, and textures, offering the elegance of solid wood with added durability. Installation options include floating or glue-down methods, compatible with underfloor heating and concrete substrates.
Reclaimed Wood Flooring
Reclaimed wood flooring repurposes aged timber, blending unique character with eco-conscious design. Each plank features distinct grain patterns and patina, perfect for adding rustic charm to homes or businesses. Sourced from salvaged materials, it reduces environmental impact while offering exceptional durability. Our team ensures precise installation, preserving the woods history while meeting modern performance standards for residential and commercial use.
Herringbone Flooring
Herringbone flooring features a V-shaped pattern that adds visual depth and sophistication to any space. Crafted from premium oak, it enhances both traditional and contemporary interiors. Our installation experts ensure seamless alignment, creating a timeless focal point. Available in light, grey, and dark oak tones, this style elevates living rooms, hallways, and commercial environments with its intricate, enduring design.

Ideal for residential and commercial properties seeking warmth and sophistication.

Report
Went in there, was made to feel like an idiot for requesting a specific width of engineered board and type of timber (tasmanian oak) that they do not stock, then referred to solid timber suppliers despite specifically asking for an engineered board. Was given the suggestion that I just ring other places rather than go their showrooms, ie. I was wasting his time. Hopeless. Do not use these people.
