Whether you’re after a show stopping formal room, easy care rumpus, spill resistant wet area or budget rental refurbishment, there’s a product to suit every home, lifestyle and price range.

True Blue Australian Timber

Mimicking the classic warmth and timeless charm of traditional hardwood floors, Engineered Australian Timber offers the ideal selection for a relaxed interior aesthetic.

Choose from smooth gloss, matte smooth or matte brushed surfaces for an earthy, rustic aesthetic or softly burnished finish.

For a true touch of design elegance, you can’t go past Luxury Timber European Oak Flooring. From premium 15mm Wide Board with 4mm timber veneer, 14mm Standard Board with 3mm veneer or the highly affordable 12mm Slim Board format with 1.5mm veneer, the matte brush finish and micro bevelled edge of engineered timber floorboards are available in a range of different stains, creating the ideal base for country charm, Scandinavian chic, a coastal vibe or pared back minimalism.

Considered the epitome of luxury in many noble European homes for centuries, parquet flooring remains a design favourite today, equally suited to both heritage and contemporary homes.  Engineered European Oak Herringbone Floors, with its distinct woodgrain and rich assortment of colours, adds glamorous visual appeal to all manner of interiors, and can create a sense of depth in smaller rooms.
