Our Low-Profile Solid Timber Flooring is an innovative solution for modern construction and renovation projects where a reduced overall board thickness is required. At just 12mm thick, this product provides the beauty and durability of traditional solid hardwood floors while meeting the needs of contemporary installations.
Low-Profile Solid Timber Flooring is installed over a stable, structurally sound surface such as existing tongue-and-groove timber flooring, structural timber floors, or plywood on concrete. Because these boards do not need to serve as a structural floor on their own, they can be produced in a slimmer profile without compromising on performance or wear layer thickness.

Common Questions - Low-Profile Solid Timber Flooring
What is Low-Profile Solid Timber Flooring?
Low-Profile Solid Timber Flooring is a 12mm-thick hardwood floorboard designed for installation over existing or well-prepared subfloors. It provides a genuine solid timber feel with a slimmer overall profile compared to traditional boards.
Why choose 12mm boards instead of thicker options?
A 12mm thickness is ideal for renovation projects or areas where floor height is limited. Despite being thinner, our boards include a 5mm wear layer, allowing multiple sandings over the life of the floor.
Which timber species are available in the Low-Profile range?
We offer 83x12mm boards in Aussie Blonde, Tallowwood, Spotted Gum, and Ironbark. These come in a Standard & Better Grade, with random lengths between 400mm and 2700mm.
For 130x12mm boards, Blackbutt and Spotted Gum are available in a Prestige Grade (subject to availability), with random lengths ranging from 400mm to 2700mm.
Is the timber sustainably sourced?
Yes. Our timber is supplied from managed forests under strict regulations aimed at preserving ecological balance and promoting reforestation.
Can Low-Profile Solid Timber Flooring be sanded and stained?
Yes. With a 5mm wear layer, these boards can be sanded and re-stained multiple times, similar to thicker solid timber floors.
How should Low-Profile Solid Timber Flooring be installed?
Boards are secret fixed over a clean, flat subfloor, such as existing timber, sheet flooring, or plywood on concrete. Correct subfloor preparation is essential to ensure a stable, long-lasting floor.
