solid timber floor installation

14mm and 21mm engineered boards, floating or direct-stick. The right choice for concrete slab installation, apartments, and properties with underfloor heating. Handles Melbourne's humidity swings better than solid timber.

engineered timber floor installation

parquetry-installation

Herringbone, Versailles, and straight-lay parquetry for inner-suburb renovations. We have completed parquetry jobs in Toorak, Brighton, Armadale, and Kew where the floor is as much a design feature as the furniture.

Engineered Timber Installation

Subfloor Preparation

We self-perform floor levelling, squeaking board repair, and subfloor sheeting without subcontracting. This is how we control the quality of what the timber goes on top of.

Solid Hardwood Installation

Secret-nailed solid timber in spotted gum, blackbutt, tallowwood, jarrah, and oak. Best for new builds with timber subfloors. We supply from Melbourne-based importers — allowing species matching for heritage properties in Camberwell, Hawthorn, and Toorak.

Timber Floor Installation FAQ

What's the best timber floor for Melbourne's climate?

Melbourne’s humidity variance (40-80% RH across seasons) is the key factor. For slab installation, 14mm engineered hardwood is more dimensionally stable than solid timber. For suspended timber subfloors, solid hardwood with appropriate expansion gaps works well.

Can you match my existing timber floors?

In most cases, yes. Pre-war Melbourne homes typically have Baltic pine, red gum, or spotted gum — all still available in matching grades. We bring stain samples to site for natural-light comparison.

How long does installation take?

A 3-bedroom Melbourne home (90-120m²) takes 3-4 days: 1 day acclimatisation, 1-2 days installation, 1 day for finish coats. Walkable in socks after 24 hours.

Do you do underfloor heating compatible installations?

Yes — engineered timber over hydronic underfloor heating is increasingly common in Melbourne renovations. We use heat-stable engineered products and follow manufacturer specifications.
