HARDWOODFlooring

Make Hardwood Flooring Your Choice

At We Love Parquet, our team of craftspersons are proud to stand on the shoulders of historical wood artisans.

For centuries, solid hardwood flooring has been a symbol of longevity and indulgence — and our own hardwood floorboards, Sydney, carry on this distinguished tradition.

By utilizing slow-growing woods, our boards boast inherent durability — promising years of use with the minimum of maintenance. And, with the depth and warmth of the timber intensifying as it ages, your home will gain in both character and charm.

Choosing hardwood timber flooring means opting for sustainability. Sourced from plantations, our hardwood floors promise reassurance — providing peace of mind in selecting a renewable, recyclable material that ‘locks in’ carbon

Furthermore, as an Australian-based company, our hardwood flooring services are governed by national industry standards — namely, AS 2796. By adhering to these specifications, which regulate serviceability, strength, species, and moisture content — you’re guaranteed exceptional quality and finish.

Hardwoods are slow-growing. As a result, they’re a dense wood suitable for the flooring requirements of durability, maintenance as well as the beauty of the colour and grain.

Flooring craftsmen of yesteryear chose hardwood floorboards because they appreciated the qualities of this material and its reputation for endurance.

Choosing the Right Hardness of Timber Floorboards

Since 1906, the hardness of timber has been ascertained by the Janka Test  — with many Australian species ranking amongst the most robust on the planet.

By utilizing durable home-grown timber in our hardwood flooring Sydney products, the material is resilient to wear, moisture penetration, scratches, and cuts. Thus keeping maintenance to a minimum and guaranteeing your flooring remains in optimum condition.

Generally speaking, any wood with a Janka rating of eight or greater is considered to be ‘hard’ — and at We Love Parquet, we have meticulously selected our preferred timbers for their hardy nature, ageing characteristics, and overall beauty.

Here are our chosen hardwood wood flooring options, together with their relative Janka score, that are readily available for purchase.

Australian Grading for Solid Hardwood

In Australia, solid hardwood flooring is graded according to the standard — AS 2796 – Timber – Hardwood – Sawn and milled products. Grading rules address aspects of strength and serviceability. They also determine the overall appearance and character of a floor depending on the features of the hardwood.
