ENGINEERED TIMBER FLOORING

What is Engineered Timber Flooring?

​

Engineered timber flooring is designed to offer the warmth and natural beauty of solid timber while providing greater resilience against daily wear and changing environmental conditions. This innovative flooring option features a layered construction that strengthens the board and reduces the likelihood of warping or movement over time, making it ideal for areas exposed to fluctuating temperatures or humidity. Its versatility allows for installation over various subfloors and underfloor heating, further extending its appeal to contemporary Australian homes and businesses seeking stylish, practical solutions. With a wide range of finishes and species available, engineered timber delivers both the aesthetic charm and the robust performance essential for long-lasting, sophisticated interiors.

​

Engineered timber flooring consists of several layers of wood, to deliver the look of solid timber while enhancing stability and durability. The surface layer is made of genuine hardwood, with the underlying layers constructed from plywood or high-density fiberboard, enabling it to handle fluctuations in temperature and humidity. This quality makes engineered timber a favored option for both residential and commercial settings. Its adaptability and straightforward installation process make it a desirable choice for anyone aiming to elevate their interior design.

Base Flooring engineered timber flooring is available in plank, herringbone & chevron patterns.
