Solid Timber Flooring
Honest Australian hardwood, installed the way it should be.
Solid timber is the floor your grandchildren will still walk on. Aurora Flooring installs Australian hardwoods - blackbutt, spotted gum, brushbox, ironbark - and European oak as a fully solid board, secret-nailed to plywood or directly fixed to bearers and joists.
Overview
Done with patience. Built to last.
There's a reason solid timber is still the benchmark a century after it became standard. It can be sanded back generation after generation, every board has its own grain and character, and the way it ages - softening, warming, taking on a patina - simply can't be replicated.
We install solid hardwood for Sydney homeowners who want a floor that becomes part of the house. Done properly, that means careful acclimatisation, dead-flat substrate, secret nailing into hardwood plywood and a finish that lets the timber breathe.
Why it matters
Benefits worth caring about.
Sandable for generations
Solid 19mm boards can be re-sanded six, seven, eight times - each time emerging like new.
Unmatched character
Every board is genuinely unique. Knots, grain pattern, colour variation - this is the real thing.
Australian hardwoods
Blackbutt, spotted gum, brushbox, ironbark and Tasmanian oak - sustainably sourced and built for Australian conditions.
Heritage-appropriate
The only honest choice for restoration of Federation, Victorian and Edwardian Sydney homes.
Problems we solve
The things you shouldn't have to live with.
- ×Boards cupping in humid Sydney summers from poor acclimatisation
- ×Visible nail heads or filler from sloppy secret-nailing
- ×Squeaking from inadequate fixing into the subfloor
- ×Colour mismatched repair boards that scream 'patch job'
Why Aurora is different
We obsess over the parts most installers skip.
Millimetre-precise installation
Every board is scribed to skirtings, doorways and transitions with patience - no rushed cuts, no caulk hiding gaps.
Dust-minimised worksites
Industrial dust extraction at the source means your home, furniture and lungs stay clean from day one to handover.
Honest fixed quoting
We measure properly, write what we'll do plainly, and the number on page one is the number you pay.
Respect for your home
Drop sheets, corner guards, daily clean-downs and protected skirtings - we leave your home tidier than we found it.
