Engineered timber flooring is crafted from multiple layers of timber, bonded under pressure for superior stability. Unlike solid hardwood, which can expand, cup, or curl in Sydney’s climate, engineered timber offers a resilient solution — perfect for wide planks and humid environments.
At Thrust Floors, we bring over 50 years of expertise and industry leadership. Guided by Mr Gerry Swindale, past President of the National Wood Flooring Association of Australia (NWFAA), our team delivers engineered timber floors that meet the highest standards of craftsmanship and performance.
Engineered timber is layered for stability, while solid is a single block of wood. Engineered is better for wide planks and humid conditions.
