What Is Solid Timber Flooring?
Solid timber flooring is made from boards milled from a single piece of hardwood, with no plywood or composite core. Because it is hardwood from top to bottom, a solid timber floor can be sanded back and refinished several times, which is why it is often described as a lifetime floor.
Our solid timber flooring range focuses on native Australian hardwoods. These species grew up in our climate, carry natural colour from honey blonde to deep red, and are among the hardest flooring timbers available anywhere, making them a natural fit for busy Brisbane homes.
- 100%: Hardwood through the full board
- Many times: Can be sanded and recoated over its life
- Native: Australian species grown for local conditions
Australian Hardwood Species in Our Range
- New England Blackbutt: Pale golden to light brown tones with a clean, even grain. A favourite for bright, contemporary spaces.
- Grey Ironbark: Deep reds and browns in one of the densest timbers used for flooring, ideal for high-traffic family homes.
- Brush Box: Warm pinkish to reddish browns with a fine, interlocking grain that wears evenly.
- Silvertop: Silvertop Stringybark offers soft straw to light brown colours with gentle natural variation.
- Turpentine: Rich reddish-brown timber with a dense, durable character and a classic Australian look.
Solid hardwood parquetry is also available in any of these colours, for herringbone and other patterned layouts.
Solid Timber vs Engineered Timber
| Solid timber | Engineered timber | |
|---|---|---|
| Made from | One piece of hardwood | Timber top layer on a stable core |
| Refinishing | Sanded and recoated many times | Limited by top layer thickness |
| Finish | Sanded, then coated in place | Arrives pre-coated from the factory |
| On concrete | Needs a plywood base first | Can be glued or floated directly |
| Lifespan | Generations with good care | Decades, depending on wear layer |
Solid Timber Flooring in Brisbane, Supplied & Installed
Built for Queensland humidity
Solid boards move more than engineered ones, so acclimatisation, fixing and expansion allowances matter. Our in-house team prepares the subfloor, lays and secures the boards, then sands and coats the floor on site. Learn more about our hardwood floor installation process.

FAQs
Solid Timber Flooring questions
Is solid timber flooring worth it?
For many homeowners, yes. Solid timber costs more upfront than engineered or hybrid, but it can be resanded and recoated again and again, adds appeal for buyers and can last for generations.
How long does a solid timber floor last?
With good care and periodic recoating, a solid timber floor should last 50+ years. You can sand out scratches and wear rather than replacing the boards.
Can solid timber flooring be laid over a concrete slab?
Yes, but not directly. Solid boards need a moisture barrier and a plywood substrate fixed over the slab first, which also raises the finished floor height.
Which Australian timber is best for flooring?
It depends on the look and wear you need. Grey Ironbark and Turpentine are very dense for busy homes, Blackbutt suits light modern interiors, and Brush Box offers warm, even-wearing colour.
Is solid timber flooring suitable for Brisbane’s climate?
Yes. Native hardwoods handle Queensland conditions well when they are acclimatised and installed with proper expansion allowances. Keeping indoor humidity steady also reduces seasonal gaps.
