Frequently Asked Questions

Real timber on top, a stable core underneath. The top layer (the lamella) is the timber you see and walk on. The core is what keeps the board steady: Australian Native and Naked Oak use a Hevea core, while Genuine Oak, Genuine Ash and Hurford’s Parquetry use a plywood core.

Solid boards are timber all the way through. Engineered boards have a timber surface bonded to a core, and that core keeps them stable, which makes engineered floors better suited to modern homes. If you would rather have timber all the way through, have a look at our solid flooring range.

The Australian Native family: Australian Native, Australian Native Optimise, Australian Native Herringbone and Australian Native Optimise Herringbone. Species include Blackbutt, Rustic Blackbutt and Spotted Gum, with Blue Gum and Brush Box in some ranges. Burleigh Floors is another Australian option, in Blackbutt, Spotted Gum and Roasted Peat, and HM Walk has an Australian hardwood surface too. Prefer oak or ash? Look at Genuine Oak, Naked Oak or Genuine Ash.

It depends on the floor. HM Walk can be floated or direct glued, Burleigh Floors can be glued down or floated, and prefinished Naked Oak can be floated, and both Naked Oak finishes can be direct glued, stapled or nailed down. Australian Native uses a licensed Välinge locking system for quick installation. Australian Native Herringbone is direct glued and Hurford’s Parquetry is full bed adhesive fixed, and for both we recommend a qualified tradesperson with the right experience. Check the product page for its install details, or call the team on 07 3442 6300.
