Measure each room, multiply length by width in metres, and add them up.

The stock estimate already allows for profiling and selection before supply. The laying allowance is extra for cuts and your installer's board selection on site. 10% is a starting point; ask your installer to confirm it for your layout. The calculator adds it once and rounds up to a whole m².

Matching skirting and architrave

Optional, in the same timber. $11.82 per LM incl GST, minimum 20 LM each (less is charged as 20 LM).

Single bevel, 19 mm thick to match your floor. Supplied uncoated in random lengths.

Trims ship with your flooring at no extra freight.

Delivery or pick-up

Tell us about steps, steep or narrow access and limited truck space. Mainfreight delivers two-person bundles under 35 kg, carried in by hand.

Where should we send your quote?

Reserve with a 50% deposit. We reserve only stock that is already milled. We hold your boards for up to 6 months from your deposit. Cancel before we start profiling and we refund your deposit less a $250 handling fee. Once profiling starts, the deposit is non-refundable, and profiled flooring can't be returned for a change of mind. The balance is due before dispatch or pick-up.

  • Your order is confirmed when your deposit (50% of the full total incl freight) or full payment arrives by bank transfer on our invoice.
  • Quotes are valid for 14 days. Stock isn't held until your deposit is paid.
  • Cancel before we start profiling and we refund your deposit less a $250 handling fee. Once profiling starts, the deposit is non-refundable.
  • Usually 6-8 weeks from your confirmed order until ready to dispatch or collect. Freight is usually 1-5 working days more.
  • Short at the end? Top-ups from 5 m² at the listed price, subject to stock.

Nothing is charged online. We check stock and freight, then reply with your confirmed total. Same day where we can. Prefer to talk? Call 027 350 2083.

Heritage 105 is our Heritage grade in a wider board. The 105 mm board gives a broader look with fewer board joints across the room, with the same pinholes, darker markings and colour as our Heritage 85. Colour and markings vary from board to board.

These are solid timber floorboards, tongue and groove, 105 x 19 mm and supplied uncoated, ready for your installer to lay, sand and finish. Heritage can contain small pinholes, pin streaks, darker brown markings and more colour variation between boards. Compare Natural and Heritage grades.

Our beech is a combination of red and silver beech, two New Zealand beech species with a very similar look. If you'd like a particular species, get in touch and we'll confirm what stock is available.

Are the pinholes a problem?

The pinholes are a natural feature of beech. They were made in the standing tree by a native beetle that needs wet, living wood, long before milling. Once the timber is kiln dried the holes are inert: nothing lives in them, and they can't spread to other timber in your home. Beech is also naturally resistant to common house borer (NZ Farm Forestry Association). The pinholes are cosmetic and don't change how the boards lay, sand, finish or wear.

The pinholes come as they are, part of the Heritage character. Your oil or coating seals them as it finishes the floor. If you'd prefer them filled, your installer can do it while sanding.

Installation and finishing

Install, then sand, then coat. We supply the boards. An installer experienced with solid timber flooring checks the site, lays the floor using standard solid timber flooring practices, then sands it and applies your chosen finish. We like Osmo and Natural House Company oils; the choice of finish is yours to make with your installer. Installation, finishing and care.

Our grade standard

The grade guide lists what each grade can contain. These lists are our grade standard. If boards arrive clearly outside them, tell us before laying and we'll replace them.

Supplied as solid timber to the grade described. Your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act apply. Laying, sanding and finishing are your installer's workmanship.

The laid floor image is an illustration of the grade with a clear oil finish. Boards are supplied uncoated, as in the photo of the stacked boards. Every floor is unique.
