Choose Your Australian Timber Species: Spotted Gum, Blackbutt, and Oak
The true character of your floor is determined by the species. We specialize in the most sought-after looks:
Spotted Gum Timber Flooring: Prized for its rich, dynamic colour variation ranging from light browns to deep reds, often featuring an attractive wavy grain. It is one of the hardest and most durable Australian natives, perfect for high-traffic areas.
Spotted Gum
Blackbutt Timber Flooring: Popular for its pale, golden-blonde to light honey tones and subtle, straight grain. Blackbutt provides a versatile, contemporary canvas and is known for its natural fire resistance properties.
Blackbutt
Oak Timber Flooring: Available in various finishes, from classic French Oak to modern grey tones. Grey timber flooring is particularly popular in Melbourne for its contemporary, minimalist aesthetic, often achieved through staining oak timber flooring.

Top 5 FAQs for Timber Flooring Melbourne
What is the average cost range for Timber Flooring Installation in Melbourne?
The cost for fully installed timber flooring typically ranges from $105 to $200+ per square meter in Melbourne. This variation depends heavily on the product:
Engineered Timber: Generally costs $105 to $140 per m² for a floating installation, or up to $200 per m² for a direct-stick (glue-down) premium installation.
Solid Timber Flooring: Costs are higher, often starting from $180 to $250 per m² fully installed, as this includes the additional steps of on-site sanding and finishing.
This price usually includes underlayment and labour, but complex subfloor levelling may add to the final cost.
Which Australian timber species is best for high-traffic areas like living rooms?
For high-traffic areas, we highly recommend focusing on very hard native species. Spotted Gum timber flooring is one of the toughest available, scoring around 11.0 on the Janka hardness scale, making it highly resistant to denting and scratching. Blackbutt timber flooring is also an excellent choice, with a Janka rating of 9.1, offering similar resilience but with a lighter colour aesthetic.
What does "Grey Timber Flooring" mean, and is it always real wood?
Grey timber flooring refers to the colour finish, which is achieved through specific staining or smoking processes. The floorboards themselves are almost always Oak timber flooring (often European Oak). Oak takes stains well, allowing the creation of modern, grey timber flooring tones while retaining the natural grain texture. Both solid and engineered timber floorboards can be finished in a grey tone.
Can I install Solid Timber Flooring over a concrete slab in my Melbourne home?
You can, but it is challenging. Solid timber flooring is highly sensitive to moisture from concrete, requiring meticulous moisture barrier installation and often the use of timber battens. For concrete subfloors, we generally recommend Engineered wood flooring. Its cross-ply construction is far more stable against moisture and temperature changes, simplifying the timber flooring installation process and providing a more reliable long-term result.
What is the main benefit of Engineered Timber over Solid Timber for stability?
The main benefit is dimensional stability. Because Engineered wood flooring is made with layers of timber glued in opposing directions, it dramatically reduces the wood's natural tendency to expand, contract, cup, or warp due to humidity and temperature changes. This stability makes it the superior choice for installation in environments with fluctuating conditions, such as areas with underfloor heating.
