Distinctive Timber Floors
Website
If you've decided to lay new floorboards in your Adelaide home, you want the best people in the business helping you. Over the years, I've grown the business and I now have a great team of skilled tradespeople I work with. My family also work in the business, including our young daughter Ruby who loves helping out.

But unlike many flooring businesses, I pride myself on being able to provide a tradesman's view. With a Distinctive Timber floor, you're buying a floor directly from the person installing it. That means you get the best floor and the best price. Experienced: With over 20 years experience selling timber flooring boards and installing them, our experience is unparalleled.

Our skilled tradespeople provide personalised support you through every step of the project, with dedicated after sales service and support. Engineered timber floorboards have a thin layer of cosmetic timber over bonded layers of supporting timber. It's basically a thick veneer. They still display the characteristics of natural timber but can only be re-sanded and rejuvenated a couple of times, depending on the condition.
From restoring old timber floors in historical houses to creating contemporary floors to suit modern floors, we've watched trends change. We've continued to improve our skills and learned to work with new and exciting products. For us, the best part about this job is delivering friendly reliable service and a quality product.
During our 20 years supplying and installing timber floors across Adelaide, we've worked on a huge range of projects. We've compiled a list of the most commonly asked questions about timber flooring installation to help you make the right choice. Gums tend to be the hardest timbers, but wear also depends on the coating used.

I was told by Richard that he had nearly 30 years’ experience in timber floors and he wouldn’t try something else or waste his

I initially emailed Richard about my requirements for laying approximately 201 square metres of timber flooring in my soon to be expected finished new home. A prompt reply, followed by a number of telephone calls and a visit to discuss my requirements. I booked for the job to be undertaken in mid

Thank you Richard and your team.
Highly recommend them. Excellent quality Job , done very efficiently, within the very short timeframe available to do it. They accommodated very well to our requirements. They assisted us with removal and putting back the furnitures after the job, which other companies did not offer.
