Engineered timber pairs a real oak surface with a cross-laminated plywood core. The layers bond in opposing grain directions, which counteracts timber’s tendency to expand and contract with temperature and humidity changes. The result is a floor that stays flat and tight over concrete subfloors, above underfloor heating, and through Australian seasonal swings. It performs where solid timber cannot.

Why European oak
Kim Harper fell in love with oak over 40 years ago during his days as an antique furniture restorer. That understanding of the material sits behind every board in our range. We use only sustainably-sourced European oak of the very finest grade, sourced from FSC-certified forests where sustainable forestry, biodiversity protection, and community rights are maintained.
Crafted from responsibly sourced timber
Every piece of timber in our collection is sourced from FSC®-certified forests. These forests are managed to protect biodiversity, support local communities and ensure long-term sustainability.
Our process reflects a genuine respect for the environment. From the way we select raw materials to the care taken in finishing, we ensure that each board meets our standards for quality, ethics and environmental performance.
Tested for performance and trusted for safety
The Royal Oak Floors range has been independently tested to Australian standards for fire safety requirements, including Critical Radiant Flux and Cone Colorimeter tests (test results are available upon request). This level of compliance ensures peace of mind while maintaining the signature beauty and natural feel of engineered timber flooring. It’s one of the most sustainable and environmentally conscious choices for creating distinctive homes, workspaces and architectural projects.

Engineered Timber Flooring FAQs
What are the advantages of engineered wood flooring?
Engineered timber flooring provides the same natural appeal as solid timber but with greater stability and resistance to environmental changes. It’s less prone to warping and can be installed over existing subfloors, making it a practical and elegant solution for any home.
How much does engineered timber flooring cost installed?
Prices vary depending on the selected board and finish. While the upfront cost may differ, engineered timber flooring delivers long-term value through durability and classic appeal.
How do you clean engineered wood floors?
Regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping with specialist timber floor cleaners keep engineered timber floors looking their best. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive water. Use cleaning products recommended for hardwood finishes to preserve surface protection.
What is the life expectancy of engineered flooring?
With proper care and maintenance, engineered timber flooring can last decades. The real timber surface can often be extended in lifespan through sanding and refinishing. It will maintain its beautiful look for generations.
What is the difference between engineered and solid timber flooring?
Solid timber is milled from a single piece of wood. Engineered timber bonds a real oak wear layer to a plywood core, which gives the board greater stability and resistance to environmental changes. Engineered timber is less prone to warping.
