    Timber Installation

    Engineered timber is designed with the DIY savvy homeowner in mind. Flooring Online's 12mm and 14mm European Oak range and the entire Australian species range, feature the easy to use 5G locking system, making for easy DIY floating installation.

    Cleaning Timber Flooring

    Engineered timber has so many advantages, including how much easier it is to care for than solid timber, but it still requires a bit of care and maintenance. Make life easier by avoiding the accumulation of floor scratching grit and grime in the first instance.

    Is Engineered Timber flooring waterproof?

    No, it is not waterproof however, due to its layers, it works better with water than solid hardwood timber.

    Can Engineered Timber be sanded/repolished like solid timber flooring?

    Yes, Engineered timber floors can be sanded down and refurbished in their lifetime. However, how many times this can be done depends on the thickness of the solid timber veneer. Most of our engineered timber boards are safe to sand one to three times. Our 12mm Engineered European Oak range should not be sanded. 

    Can I install Herringbone Timber flooring myself?

    We recommend that you hire a professional installer for Herringbone flooring due to the more complex board pattern and detail required for install.Â
