Eclipse
Prefinished Engineered Timber Flooring
EClipse
While solid timber flooring is an excellent choice for any home, Eclipse prefinished timber flooring has the most durable surface of all engineered products. You get the look and beauty of a natural wood floor without the need for sanding or staining.
The surface of this engineered timber flooring product is made from strong Australian hardwoods and American Oak, while the underside of the floorboards use an extremely stable 9 ply construction made of plantation Eucalypt.
This product is also great for DIY installations, in that you can handle flooring installation in sections rather than having to do it all at once.

Timber Species
Eclipse is available in 6 Australian hardwood timber species across the semi-gloss and matte range (not all in matte), as well as American Oak.
Selecting your timber species for your new Eclipse timber floor comes mostly down to an aesthetic choice. The timber species will determine the general look, such as colour and grain patterns, however, with timber being a natural product even within one species there will be variations.
Some species exhibit only small variations while others vary greatly in colour and features.
Common Questions - Eclipse
What species are available in the Eclipse range?
Eclipse is available in six Australian hardwood species across semi-gloss and matte finishes, as well as American Oak. Each species offers unique colour tones and grain patterns, giving you a wide choice to suit your interior style.
How durable is Eclipse flooring compared to other engineered timber floors?
Eclipse is one of the most durable engineered timber products available, thanks to its advanced multi-coat system. The boards feature up to 13 layers of protective coating with aluminium oxide, creating an ultra-tough, scratch-resistant surface.
Can Eclipse floors be sanded and refinished?
Eclipse has a 0.6mm real timber wear layer. Unlike thicker engineered boards, it cannot be sanded back multiple times, but the advanced prefinished coating is designed to withstand years of wear without requiring refinishing.
Is Eclipse flooring prefinished or does it need coating after installation?
Eclipse comes prefinished in either satin or matte options. This means no sanding, staining, or coating is required after installation – you can walk on it the same day.
What sizes are available in the Eclipse range?
Eclipse Australian hardwoods are available in 136mm and 186mm wide boards, with a thickness of 12.5–13.5mm and lengths around 1830mm. American Oak is available in 186mm wide boards, 13.5mm thick, and 1800mm long.
What installation system does Eclipse use?
Eclipse features Välinge click-lock technology (2G and 5G depending on finish), allowing boards to be easily clicked into place without nails or glue. This makes it an ideal option for DIY projects as well as professional installations.
Can Eclipse be installed over existing floors?
Yes, Eclipse can be installed over existing timber, sheet flooring, battens, tiles, and even concrete, provided the surface is level, clean, and dry.
Is Eclipse flooring suitable for DIY installation?
Absolutely. Eclipse’s Välinge click system makes it user-friendly for DIY installers. You can even install in sections at your own pace rather than completing the entire floor in one go.
What is the difference between the satin and matte finishes?
The satin finish has a 30% gloss level, providing a classic semi-gloss look, while the matte finish has a 12% gloss level for a more natural, contemporary appearance.
