Frequently Asked Questions
Timber flooring remains a popular option for homeowners wanting style and longevity. Here are the most commonly searched questions when exploring this natural flooring material.
What’s the difference between timber flooring and engineered timber flooring?
Timber is made from one piece of hardwood and can be sanded and refinished many times. Engineered timber has a real hardwood top layer bonded to stable layers beneath, making it more resistant to humidity and temperature changes. Engineered timber is often easier to install and still provides the same natural appearance and feel underfoot.
How long does timber flooring last?
When properly installed and maintained, timber floors can last 30–100 years or more. Engineered timber typically lasts 20–30 years, depending on the thickness of the top layer and how often it’s refinished. Regular sweeping, gentle cleaning and protective pads on furniture help preserve the surface and minimise wear over time.
Classic, Long-Lasting Choice
Timber flooring is made from solid hardwood or engineered timber planks, giving each floor a unique natural grain and finish. It’s durable, easy to maintain and can be sanded back and refinished over time.
Engineered options provide added stability in changing climates, making them ideal for Cairns homes. Timber suits living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms — anywhere you want a classic, high-end finish that adds real value.
