Completed project
Large-format herringbone installation in South West Sydney
For this new build, the owner wanted large herringbone boards across the kitchen, dining and living areas. Their designer planned the layout with a straight-plank border to frame the pattern. The owner purchased the engineered timber and engaged Oz Timber Floor to install it.
How a straight-plank border changes the layout
A straight-plank border gives the zigzag pattern a clear edge. With larger boards, the position of the pattern makes a noticeable difference to how the floor looks across adjoining rooms. The layout needs to account for where the herringbone meets the border, how the cuts look at the edges and how the pattern reads when you move from one room to the next.
If you’re planning a similar floor, share the designer’s layout and the selected board dimensions with your installer early. Those details help the installer review the pattern, border and room transitions together.
Already chosen your timber?
Send us your suburb, approximate floor area, product details and any drawings from your designer. If you’ve already purchased your flooring, mention that in your enquiry so we can review what the installation would involve.
Installation service
Good installation starts before the boards arrive
Flooring installation is a sequence of decisions: product choice, substrate condition, underlay or adhesive method, trims, skirting, expansion gaps, stairs, access and timing.
Oz Timber Floor positions installation as a practical trade service for homes, apartments, builders and commercial projects. The goal is to match the flooring choice to the room, not force every product into the same method.
Subfloor checks
Subfloor checks, floor levelling recommendations and preparation planning.
Trims and transitions
Trims, doorways, skirting or scotia discussions and transition details.
Project support
Residential, apartment, builder and selected commercial installation support.
Product fit
Match the install method to the flooring
Different products need different preparation, handling and finishing expectations.
Engineered timber
A real timber surface with construction designed for stability, often chosen for premium homes and commercial interiors.
Hybrid and laminate
Practical timber-look flooring for busy homes, apartments and rental upgrades where preparation still matters.
Solid timber
Traditional timber floors may suit long-term homes and projects where sanding, polishing and maintenance are part of the plan.
Checks before installation day
Installation planning
Clear preparation helps avoid delays, finish problems and unnecessary changes once installers are on site.
Confirm areas, wastage allowance, product category, board direction and supply status.
Check flatness, stability, moisture concerns and old floor residue before committing to install.
Plan trims, stairs, door cuts, skirting, scotia, expansion gaps and adjoining surfaces.
Consider parking, lift access, furniture, other trades, building rules and protection after install.
Prepare the property and installation sequence
Project sequence
Installation timing becomes clearer when access, removal, preparation and other renovation work are discussed together.
Share measurements, photos or plans, the current floor, preferred product and any known access or strata conditions.
Confirm stock, batch, delivery access, storage needs and the latest product-specific installation requirements.
Coordinate furniture, removal, wet trades, painting, cabinetry and any floor levelling so the new floor is installed in the right sequence.
Review trims, transitions, doors, stairs and protection of the finished floor while remaining work is completed.

Common questions
FAQs
These answers help prepare a useful enquiry before site inspection or product selection.
What types of flooring can Oz Timber Floor install?
Oz can discuss engineered timber, solid timber, hybrid, laminate, vinyl and related preparation services depending on site conditions and product availability.
Should the floor be level before installation?
The subfloor should be checked before installation. Required preparation depends on the flooring option, tolerance, substrate and existing floor condition.
Can you install flooring in apartments?
Apartment projects may be possible, but acoustic requirements, lift access, strata rules, working hours and underlay specifications should be confirmed early.
Can I request supply-only instead of installation?
Yes. Oz supports supply-only enquiries, stock checks and supply and installation enquiries. Include the product range, quantity and suburb when you contact the team.
What should be ready before installation day?
Confirm access, furniture movement, other trades, power, parking or lift arrangements, the removal scope and where the flooring will be stored. Requirements vary by product and site.
How is installation timing confirmed?
Timing is reviewed after the product, area, access, removal work and subfloor preparation are understood. Levelling, moisture concerns or staged work can change the sequence.
Can old boards be matched during a repair?
An exact match may not be possible because products, colours and batches change. Send photos and any product or purchase details so availability and realistic repair options can be reviewed.
What should I include in an installation enquiry?
Send the suburb, approximate area, current floor, preferred product, access details, timing, photos or plans, and whether removal or floor preparation may be needed.
