About Our Hardwood Flooring

LKV Flooring supplies and installs solid hardwood floors across Brisbane, in European Oak and dense Australian species such as Blackbutt, Spotted Gum and Ironbark. Unlike engineered alternatives, solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished many times, so a floor laid correctly by our in-house team lasts for decades.

At LKV Flooring, we supply and install premium hardwood timber flooring in Brisbane, including European Oak and native Australian species, with complete quality control from subfloor preparation to final finish.

Every hardwood floor installation is completed exclusively by our experienced in-house team, delivered with precision and attention to detail.

Finishing & Customisation Options

Solid Australian hardwood flooring can be finished to suit your preferred aesthetic, durability requirements and lifestyle needs. At LKV Flooring, we offer a range of professional finishing systems tailored to each project.

Polyurethane Finishes

Highly durable and designed for long-term protection, polyurethane coatings are ideal for high-traffic areas. Available in gloss, satin or matte, they provide a resilient surface while enhancing the natural beauty of the timber.

Water‑Based Finishes

A low-odour, environmentally conscious option that delivers a clean, natural appearance. Water-based systems dry faster and are particularly suited to lighter species and contemporary interiors.

Natural Oil & Hard Wax Oil Finishes

For clients seeking a more organic and tactile feel, oil-based finishes provide a softer sheen and a more natural surface. They allow the timber to breathe while offering easy spot maintenance and long-term repairability.

In addition, we offer:

  • Anti-slip coatings for stair applications
  • Custom staining to achieve your desired tone and interior aesthetic
  • Sheen level selection to complement your space

All finishes are applied by our experienced in-house team to ensure consistent quality and long-term performance.

Installing Solid Timber Over Concrete Subfloors

Hardwood Floor Installation on Concrete

In both residential and commercial settings, hardwood flooring remains one of the most sought-after choices for its timeless beauty, durability and long-term value.

Installing solid hardwood over concrete requires expert preparation and the correct construction system to ensure performance and longevity.

Unlike engineered flooring, solid hardwood timber flooring can’t be glued directly to concrete. It needs a structural plywood substrate, which can affect floor height, skirting levels, door clearances and transitions. We assess all of these carefully during our site inspection.

To protect against rising damp and ensure long-term stability, we install a professional moisture barrier and heavy-duty membrane before laying the plywood and hardwood boards.

Every step is completed by our in-house team to ensure structural integrity and long-term performance.

FAQs

A few things people ask.

Why Choose Solid Australian Hardwoods?

Exceptional DurabilityAustralian hardwood species such as Spotted Gum, Blackbutt, Ironbark, Tallowwood and Jarrah are renowned for their density and strength. Their natural hardness makes them ideal for high-traffic residential areas and demanding commercial environments, delivering long-term structural performance. Natural ResistanceMany Australian native species offer excellent resistance to termites, decay and moisture. This natural resilience makes them particularly well suited to the Australian climate when installed correctly. Unique Natural CharacterEach species carries its own distinctive grain pattern, colour tone and movement. From the light, clean appearance of Blackbutt to the rich warmth of Jarrah and the bold variation of Spotted Gum, solid hardwood delivers authentic character that cannot be replicated. Longevity & Long-Term ValueWhen properly installed and maintained, solid Australian hardwood flooring can last for decades. Its ability to be sanded and refinished over time makes it a true lifetime flooring solution, enhancing both the visual appeal and long-term value of your property.

Solid vs Engineered Timber – What’s the Difference?

Australian hardwood flooring is available in both solid and engineered formats. Each option offers distinct advantages depending on the project requirements, subfloor conditions and long-term goals. Solid Timber FlooringCrafted from a single piece of natural hardwood, solid timber flooring is the traditional and most authentic option. It features a full-thickness wear layer and can be sanded and refinished multiple times over its lifespan, making it a true long-term investment. Solid hardwood is ideal for clients seeking maximum longevity, natural movement and timeless character. Engineered Timber FlooringEngineered timber features a genuine hardwood surface layer bonded to a multi-layered core. This construction enhances dimensional stability and reduces expansion and contraction caused by changes in temperature and humidity. Engineered options are particularly well suited to modern builds, apartments and environments where additional structural stability is required.

How much does solid hardwood flooring cost compared with engineered?

Solid hardwood generally costs about $50 to $80 more per m² installed than engineered timber, mostly because it's sanded and coated on site after laying. For reference, engineered timber typically runs about $110 to $250 per m² supplied and installed in 2026.

Which hardwood species do you install?

We install European Oak and dense Australian species including Blackbutt, Spotted Gum, Ironbark, Tallowwood and Jarrah. You can compare the boards side by side at our Newstead showroom, open six days.

What finishes can you apply to a hardwood floor?

We apply polyurethane finishes in gloss, satin or matte for high-traffic areas, low-odour water-based finishes for a clean, natural look, and natural or hard wax oils for a softer, easily repaired surface. We also offer custom stains and anti-slip coatings for stairs.
