We are a family-owned flooring installation business and have been installing floors since 2015. We work with homeowners, builders, developers, and flooring suppliers delivering an excellent result and great customer service.

As a business, we are mainly focused on Christchurch, but we do travel to towns like Hanmer, Kaikoura, Akaroa and the like.

As a rule, we do not supply flooring on its own - our focus is on the installation and we are more than happy to give our expert opinion on what type of flooring we believe would suit you best.

For an excellent job, completed on time by a skilled craftsman, we will work with your joiner, builder or yourself to achieve the best result. Call Hannes on 027 861 9197

Laminate Flooring

This really comes in two main categories. Suitable for wet areas, and unsuitable for wet areas.

Suitable for wet areas can be installed right through the house whereas unsuitable for wet areas can not be installed in bathrooms or laundries.

Both come in a variety of colours and shape ranging from affordable options to complex integrated patterns and textures at the higher end.

Engineered Timber

This product is not rated for wet areas and requires a bit more care and attention than a laminated floor.

Engineered timber is more stable than solid timber. There will be less movement from the floor than that of solid timber.

The top 5mm of the surface of these planks are actual natural timber, which means in some wood species there can be an amazing variety from plank to plank.

Bamboo Flooring

You either love it or you hate it. Compressed bamboo is hailed as the great green answer to the flooring industry.

It has fewer colour options, which can sometimes make it easier to choose a flooring pattern. From an installation point of view, it's one drawback is the amount of expansion required.

Parquet Flooring

Parquet flooring is quite complicated to install but can look a million dollars when done right. It is most often laid as a timber floor, which should be treated with the same care. It can be installed pre-finished, or in an unfinished state. Unfinished means after the installation it will still need to be sanded, filled and polyurethaned.

Though it looks great, some find it can be quite a “busy” look.
