Durable and longer lasting. We provide information and advice on a type of timber to match your lifestyle and needs. We use the JANKA rating (measures the hardness of timber), to ensure the timber you choose will be suitable for the traffic and demand on your floor. Pre finished hardwoods eliminate the need for sanding and polishing and are easier and cleaner to install. A variety of timbers (with different grades, quality and colours) available to choose from.
Floors are an essential part of our homes. Just as individual styles differ, so do our preferences in floors. Timber floors enhance the look and value of our homes in comparison with other types of coverings. Timber floors are also an excellent option for asthma sufferers. Why? Carpets harbour dust mites, timber flooring does not. We can supply and/or professionally install all types of timber flooring, including: - Solid timber floors - Floating floors - Laminates - Parquetry (mosaic and freestyle)
Installation provided for residential homes, commercial sites (retail stores, showrooms and offices) and public areas. Almost all locations can be floored, just ask us. We are very particular about detail, especially with the trims and finishings around fixtures (benches, kitchens fireplaces etc), doors and stairs. We provide care and maintenance information for all jobs completed to help maximise the life of your floor. We can also provide cleaning services (at an additional cost) after installation, if required. Installation of our floors is guaranteed* (*Conditions apply).
