15mm Thickness
Browse 15mm Thickness by category
15mm engineered European Oak is the thickness we recommend most often for whole-house installations in Melbourne. It carries a substantial oak wear layer over a multi-ply core, so it feels solid underfoot, sits well over both concrete and timber subfloors, and holds its shape through the seasonal humidity swings that cause solid timber floors so much trouble here.
Why 15mm rather than thinner boards
Two things change as the board gets thicker. The wear layer gets deeper, which means the floor can be sanded and recoated later instead of replaced. And the board itself becomes more rigid, which makes it more forgiving over subfloors that are not perfectly flat. For a family home you expect to live in for a decade or more, that combination is usually worth the extra cost over 12mm or 14mm.
The range
Our 15mm boards include Dusk Grey, Polar Ice, Matterhorn and French Lace in the wide-plank format, alongside warmer neutrals such as Straw. Wide-plank boards in particular suit open-plan living, where fewer joins across the floor make the room read as larger.
Installation
15mm can be direct-stuck or floated over acoustic underlay, depending on the subfloor and whether you are in a strata building with acoustic requirements. We test slab moisture and check flatness before quoting. The range is compatible with hydronic and electric underfloor heating provided the system is commissioned and run up gradually.
Care
Vacuum or dry mop regularly, damp mop with a pH-neutral timber cleaner, and never use a steam mop. Felt pads under chair legs and a mat at each entry will protect the coating better than anything else.
