Overlay Solid Strip Flooring

Timber Flooring

Precision milled to 14mm or 13mm thick, Boral overlay solid strip flooring is thinner than 19mm traditional solid strip flooring but the top layer is the same thickness.

Because Boral overlay is laid directly over a structural surface such as concrete or plywood, it is well supported and the additional 6mm in thickness is not required.

• Ideal for installing in ground floor renovations over a concrete slab or second storey refurbishments where carpet has been removed and subfloor is still in place.
• Boral Overlay flooring still offers the same depth of wear (top layer thickness) as traditional 19mm flooring. This allows for a number of refinishes over the lifetime of the floor.
• Solid hardwood floors are excellent for asthmatics as they do not harbour dust mites or other allergens.
• Blackbutt and Spotted Gum have a natural fire resistance. Their fire retarding properties, make them suitable for use in many bushfire prone areas under Australian Standard AS3959.
• A timber sub-floor gives easy access to the underfloor for plumbing or ducted heating, or to repair wiring.
• Timber is one of the world’s few truly renewable resources.
• Building a sustainable future - Boral Timber hardwoods have full Chain of Custody certification aligned with the Responsible Wood Standard.

Boral Overlay solid strip flooring is available in four grades. Boral Timber meets Australian Standards and uses the aesthetic Boral Timber grading system. Grading is distinguished by selective gum veins, spirals, burls, insect trails and other natural features that give timber floors a unique character, as individual as a signature. Boral Timber is not graded for colour variation or grain patterns as they form part of the natural beauty of timber flooring. 

Classic Grade

A subtle feature grade of timber flooring that provides a low level of natural features. The low levels of natural feature present the floor with a uniform look that is best suited to modern, minimalist styles.

Australiana Grade

Graded to include the most interesting and moderate natural features to enhance the look of a timber floor.

Standard and Better Grade

Carefully graded to include the most interesting and moderate features of Australiana grade flooring. This grade offers a minimum level of natural features best suited to a modern style.

Natural Grade

Boral Timber’s rustic grade displaying a high level of natural features. This grade offers a unique, aged look with extenuated natural features and is well-suited to both commercial interiors and traditional decors.

Note: The availability of some species is state specific and not all species are available in all grades. Some additional species may be available on request.

Boral overlay solid strip flooring should be glued onto a concrete slab (80mm width only) or directly onto plywood or existing strip timber floors.

Boral Timber recommends that an experienced professional timber flooring contractor handles the installation as well as the sanding and finishing of a new hardwood timber floor. Ask a local timber flooring retailer for a recommended contractor.

Timber flooring is not recommended for bathrooms, laundries or other wet areas.
