Collection: Solid Timber Flooring

Both solid timber and engineered timber flooring offer a classic, aesthetic appeal and come ready to install. The main difference between the two flooring options is that while solid timber floors consist of sole, solid hardwood planks, engineered timber flooring consists of a tough, rigid plywood base beneath an outward layer of hardwood timber. The base offers a solid core, with the top layer providing a similar look to that of classic timber flooring. Engineered timber flooring is generally able to withstand more moisture and humidity than solid timber flooring.

Solid timber flooring offers a classic look and feel — and its ability to withstand multiple sandings and polishings means it can last for decades. With their durable surface, solid timber floors are generally able to withstand scratches and dents and are therefore a good option for high-traffic areas in the house, such as living areas. However, solid timber flooring may not be the best option for high-moisture areas or in spaces with higher than average humidity levels. If you’re interested in viewing alternatives to solid timber flooring, be sure to have a look at our timber laminate flooring and luxury hybrid flooring ranges.

Solid timber flooring can be used in some coastal or humid environments, but it requires careful consideration. Timber naturally responds to changes in moisture, so areas with consistently high humidity may not be ideal. In these conditions, engineered timber or hybrid flooring may offer better stability. Our team can assess your space and recommend the most suitable option.

Yes. Solid timber flooring performs well in high-traffic areas such as living rooms and hallways. Choosing the right timber species and finish will help minimise visible wear over time. Protective coatings also add an extra layer of resilience.

Solid timber flooring is extremely durable. Made from full hardwood planks, it can withstand everyday wear and tear and be sanded and refinished multiple times, making it one of the longest-lasting flooring options available.

With proper care and professional installation, solid timber flooring can last for decades — often 50 years or more. Its ability to be refinished rather than replaced makes it a valuable long-term investment.

Yes. As a natural material, solid timber expands and contracts with changes in temperature and humidity. This is normal behaviour and is accounted for during the installation of your solid timber floor through correct acclimatisation, expansion gaps and expert fitting techniques.

Maintenance is simple with the right approach:

• Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove grit
• Clean with a damp mop and timber-safe cleaner
• Wipe up spills promptly
• Avoid excessive water and harsh chemicals

Our solid timber flooring is available in a range of finishes, including matte, satin and gloss. These finishes enhance the timber’s natural grain while providing protection against wear. Our team can help you choose the right finish based on your preferences.
