The specification that matters is the 3mm wear layer over a 14mm multiply board. That is thick enough to be sanded back and recoated two or three times across the life of the floor, which is the thing no hybrid, laminate or vinyl can do at any price. If you want a floor that can be restored rather than replaced, this is the category.
Board width varies by species and finish. Brushed blackbutt and spotted gum come at 130mm or a wide 180mm. Satin is 136mm for blackbutt and spotted gum and 170mm for Tasmanian oak, and on a pale low-contrast timber that extra width does real work: fewer joins across the floor and a calmer look. Boards come in nested random lengths at 2100mm or 1820mm, which lays up like a real timber floor rather than a repeating pattern, with the set-out worked out on site.
Installation is Insta Clic floating, so a genuine timber floor goes down with no glue or nails. UV cured lacquer, micro bevel edge. Slip rating under AS 4586 is P2 on satin and P3 on brushed, so brushed is the finish for entries and kitchens. Abrasion at or above 500r, lipping at or under 0.2mm to EN 13489, fire CRF 3.2kW/m2.
Genuine timber varies board to board, so order all the material for a job at once. Backed by a 25 year timber limited residential warranty, made under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 and compliant with Green Building Council VOC limits. Sydney supply and install, supply only, or bring your own installer.
