  • Boral 19mm solid strip flooring enlarge

    Boral 19mm solid strip flooring

    Boral 19mm tongue and groove solid strip flooring is precision-milled, providing a wear layer that can be refinished many times over. It is manufactured with a tongue and groove profile that is also end-matched for a tight board-to-board fit and a continuous, stable surface.

    Boral 19mm is designed to be nailed down over bearers and joists or to battens on concrete. One of the benefits of Boral 19mm is that it can handle foot traffic as soon as it is laid, allowing for other trades on the job before a final sanding and application of the finish.

    In the past, 108mm and 130mm wide boards have had to be top nailed. With Boral Timber Flooring’s new installation procedure for secret fixing wide boards, board widths of up to 130mm can be secret nailed into the tongue for a smooth and clean finish. Boral Timber Flooring recommends that installation is handled by a professional installer. See the Boral Timber Flooring Secret Fixing Wide Boards brochure for further details.

    All Boral Timber’s products are Australian Forestry Scheme (AFS) Chain of Custody certified. This provides peace of mind that Boral Timber products are sourced from sustainably managed and legal forestry. The AFS certification is linked to the largest forest management certification scheme in the world (PEFC) and is the only scheme with an Australian Standard (AS 4708-2007).

    Installation requirements
    Boral 19mm solid strip flooring has the structural strength to be installed directly onto joists, battens or underply over concrete, using secret or top nailing methods.

  • Boral 13mm (overlay) solid strip flooring enlarge

    Boral 13mm (overlay) solid strip flooring

    Boral 13mm (overlay) solid strip flooring has been designed for those who love the style and warmth of a solid timber floor, but don’t have the traditional bearers and joists subfloor structure. Boral 13mm is designed to be glued down directly over concrete, existing timber, plywood or particleboard flooring, as long as the existing floor is clean, dry and flat. Boral 13mm is ideal for installing in ground floor renovations over a concrete slab or second storey refurbishments where the carpet has been pulled up and the subfloor is still in place.

    Precision milled to 13mm thick, the board is thinner than 19mm traditional solid strip flooring. Because Boral 13mm is laid directly over a structural surface such as concrete or plywood, it is well supported and the additional 6mm thickness is not required. However, when compared to traditional 19mm solid strip flooring, the 13mm flooring still offers the same depth of wear providing a number of refinishes for a lifetime of enjoyment.

    It is manufactured with a tongue and groove profile that is also end-matched for a tight board-to-board fit and a continuous, stable surface.

    All Boral Timber’s products are Australian Forestry Scheme (AFS) Chain of Custody certified. This provides peace of mind that Boral Timber products are sourced from sustainably managed and legal forestry. The AFS certification is linked to the largest forest management certification scheme in the world (PEFC) and is the only scheme with an Australian Standard (AS 4708-2007).

    INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
    Boral 13mm solid strip flooring should be glued onto a concrete slab or directly onto Boral plywood or particleboard.

  • Boral Parquetry enlarge

    Boral Parquetry

    Parquetry has been used as a hard wearing yet decorative floor covering for centuries. It is still as popular in the 21st century as it was when it was used for the floors of grand fifteenth century cathedrals.

    Parquetry is the perfect solution for heavy traffic areas such as halls, steps, entrance ways and even commercial interiors. Should a small section be seriously damaged, it can be replaced easily, and after years of wear the entire floor can be restored to as-new condition by sanding and resealing.

    Boral parquetry is supplied in the popular block parquetry style. Block parquetry can be laid in any pattern using contrasting coloured timbers to create depth in the design. Blocks of timber are manufactured and then laid individually to create the chosen pattern. There are many popular patterns in Boral block parquetry. Alternatively, custom patterns or feature blocks can be created.

    All Boral Timber’s products are Australian Forestry Scheme (AFS) Chain of Custody certified. This provides peace of mind that Boral Timber products are sourced from sustainably managed and legal forestry. The AFS certification is linked to the largest forest management certification scheme in the world (PEFC) and is the only scheme with an Australian Standard (AS 4708-2007).

    INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
    Parquetry should be glued directly onto a level subfloor such as concrete, plywood, particleboard or an existing timber floor.

  • Boral Silkwood Engineered Hardwood Flooring enlarge

    Boral Silkwood Engineered Hardwood Flooring

    Boral Silkwood pre-finished engineered hardwood flooring combines the sophistication of real timber with a quality multi-layer cross-ply construction. Boral Silkwood is manufactured in Australia for the Australian climate by an Australian company using Australian hardwood species.

    All Boral Silkwood floors are prefinished. The surface is treated with six coats of scratch resistant mid-gloss UV cured acrylic coating, avoiding the mess and fumes of sanding and finishing so that a new Boral Silkwood floor can be walked on within hours of installation. An additional finish can be applied if required.

    The nominal 4mm thick top layer of each board is manufactured from Australian hardwood while the other layers are made from top quality plywood. The hardwood top layer can be re-sanded or re-coated, as with traditional timber floors. Boral Silkwood uses a tongue and groove profile and all products are end matched for a tight board-to-board fit. The cross-ply construction of each board provides a stable floor minimising movement over time. The boards are precision-milled, providing a square edge for a smooth continuous surface.

    Boral Silkwood boards are available in 133mm and 175mm widths and nine beautiful Australian species, which are some of the hardest and most durable in the world. The species palette ranges from rich reds to deep browns and lighter shades to suit any décor from traditional to modern. Boral Silkwood is easy to install and is designed to be laid over any level, structurally sound subfloor such as a concrete slab, particleboard or plywood, even existing tiles or timber flooring. When used with appropriate underlay, such as Boral RV-4 or Silkwood underlay, Boral Silkwood is excellent for multi-level units where acoustically rated sound proofing is important.

    All Boral Timber’s products are Australian Forestry Scheme (AFS) Chain of Custody certified. This provides peace of mind that Boral Timber products are sourced from sustainably managed and legal forestry. The AFS certification is linked to the largest forest management certification scheme in the world (PEFC) and is the only scheme with an Australian Standard (AS 4708-2007).

    INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
    Boral Silkwood can be glued or ‘floated’ over any level subfloor such as a concrete slab, particleboard or plywood sheeting or over existing timber floors or tiles.

  • Boral Decking enlarge

    Boral Decking

    A hardwood timber deck is not only an architectural link between the landscape and the built environment, it adds additional living space as a cost-effective alternative to major extensions.

    Boral decking is manufactured in Australia for the Australian climate by an Australian company using Australian hardwood species making it the perfect option. Timber decks are particularly well suited to sloping sites and are excellent in split-level or two-storey construction. Decks can be cantilevered beyond the outermost bearer by up to one third of the bearer span, which can mean a lot more deck area for minimal additional cost. Timber decking is ideal for pool surrounds and as an alternative to concrete and paving materials. Decking can also be used to enhance the natural flow from indoor flooring to outdoor decking by using the same species.

    Decking can also be used for vertical design elements such as screens, seating, gates and fences. Native Australian hardwoods are an excellent choice for decking because of their high density, toughness, durability and in some species, fire retardancy – perfect for Australian conditions. Boral decking is seasoned to ensure optimum hardness, stability and long service life. Hardwoods are easy to stain to complement an outdoor colour scheme or can be left untreated to create a natural, weathered look.

    All Boral Timber’s products are Australian Forestry Scheme (AFS) Chain of Custody certified. This provides peace of mind that Boral Timber products are sourced from sustainably managed and legal forestry. The AFS certification is linked to the largest forest management certification scheme in the world (PEFC) and is the only scheme with an Australian Standard (AS 4708-2007).

    INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
    Boral decking should be nailed or screwed directly to hardwood bearers and joists. Fencing can be screwed into timber or steel posts.
