Melbourne's premium timber flooring specialists
We bring interiors to life
Kustom Timber crafts premium timber flooring for Melbourne homes and businesses, backed by a team of flooring specialists who know timber inside and out. Considered design and genuine craftsmanship go into every plank we sell.
Visit our showrooms in Cremorne or Mornington to see, touch, and compare the range in person. We also supply right across Australia, so wherever you’re renovating, you can work with us.
Every plank is chosen for character as much as performance. Our timber flooring is built for Australian conditions, spanning bold, dramatic finishes through to light, coastal tones.
It’s better for the planet too. Our timber flooring uses less energy and produces fewer greenhouse gases to make than most alternatives, and it’s low-VOC, keeping unnecessary chemicals out of your home.

Our products
Resistant to moisture and shifts in temperature, it retains the rich, natural look of timber thanks to its multi-layer construction.
Cut from a single piece of European oak, it brings warmth and character to a space, and can be sanded back and refinished for generations.
Naturally insulating, hypoallergenic, and soft underfoot, cork brings a distinctive, textural finish you won’t find in traditional timber.
What we do
At Kustom Timber, we manage every stage of your flooring project, from installation through to maintenance and aftercare. Installation times in Melbourne depend on the floor area, layout, subfloor preparation, timber type, and finish selected. Smaller rooms may be completed in a few days, while larger or more detailed projects, such as parquetry, can take longer. We’ll assess your space and provide a clear, quote-based schedule before work begins, supporting you from the first cut through to years of care.
Every floor we lay is responsibly sourced and shaped around your space. Our Melbourne flooring specialists can talk you through timber selection, subfloor preparation, installation methods, project timing, parquetry, stairs, and ongoing care, so you know what to expect before work begins. Ask us which Timber Flooring Melbourne option suits your room, how the floor will perform in local conditions, and what maintenance it will need over time. From the first assessment to final aftercare, our team manages the work end to end.
We customise our timber solutions to you and your project and, with experts in installation, parquetry, and stairs on board, you know you’re in good hands. When it comes to engineered timber flooring in Melbourne and beyond, Kustom Timber’s range of quality selections and our commitment to great service is unmatched.

Sustainability
At Kustom Timber, sustainability shapes every part of how we source and make our flooring. We’re constantly refining our processes to cut waste and reduce our environmental footprint.
We work only with suppliers who practise sustainable forest management, so every plank you choose carries PEFC® or FSC® certification alongside its natural good looks.
We also favour fast-growing plantation timber wherever we can, easing the pressure on slower-growing European oak without asking you to compromise on quality.
When you choose Kustom Timber, you’re choosing a partner that takes sustainability as seriously as you do. Learn more about our approach to sustainability.
Our commitment? To source wood exclusively from suppliers championing sustainable forest management. Every piece of our timber flooring comes with the assurance of a PEFC® (Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) or FSC® (the Forest Stewardship Council) certification, meaning your choice of timber is not just aesthetically pleasing – it’s also ethically sourced.
We use fast-growing plantation timber that is sustainably harvested, reducing waste of precious, slow-growing European oak. It’s a greener solution that doesn’t sacrifice the quality of your engineered timber flooring.
With us, it’s not just about beautiful floors – it’s about a greener, more responsible approach every step of the way.
Which timber floor fits your space?
Every floor in our range starts from the same place: real timber, chosen for its character and finished to last.
Engineered timber flooring is often the practical choice for Melbourne homes, especially over concrete slabs or in rooms exposed to changing moisture and temperature. Its layered construction improves stability and reduces the risk of movement, while still delivering the look and durability of hardwood flooring.
Solid timber flooring offers deeper character and a traditional feel, with European oak and other species able to be sanded and refinished for generations. It suits stable, well-prepared subfloors and homeowners who value long-term restoration potential. Cork is a softer, naturally insulating alternative, offering comfort underfoot and a hypoallergenic finish. When comparing timber flooring types, consider your subfloor, room conditions, preferred appearance, maintenance expectations, and budget. Our Melbourne team can explain the suitability, installation requirements, and quote factors for each option.
The cost of a Timber Flooring project in Melbourne depends on more than the product selected. Your quote may include the floor area, engineered timber flooring or solid hardwood flooring, subfloor preparation, removal of an existing floor, layout, stairs, trims, and installation requirements. Parquetry and other detailed patterns can also take more time to install. Rather than relying on a fixed per-metre price, we assess your space and provide a clear quote covering the full scope of work, so you can compare premium flooring options with confidence.
The best timber species for a Melbourne home depends on the look you want, how the room is used, and the level of maintenance you expect. European oak offers visible grain, warmth, and the option to sand and refinish solid boards over time, while plantation-grown species can provide a lighter, more contemporary finish. Consider hardness for busy areas, tone for the overall interior, and the floor’s construction for changing local conditions. Our team can help you compare hardwood flooring and engineered options before you choose.
Yes, timber flooring can be installed over a concrete slab when the slab is properly assessed and prepared. Engineered timber flooring is often well suited to this application because its layered construction offers greater stability as moisture and temperature conditions change. Before installation, we check the slab’s moisture level, flatness, and condition, then recommend the appropriate preparation, moisture protection, and installation method. This planning helps your new floor perform reliably and gives you a clearer understanding of the project scope.

Why choose our timber flooring?
Our end-to-end service, backed by genuine industry experience, shouldn’t be underestimated. Having one place to come back to, rather than chasing down different trades and contacts for a single job, is an investment that pays off long after the install.
Timber flooring is also more hardwearing than laminate. Where laminate wears out, timber can be sanded back and re-stained instead, lasting for generations. It reads as more natural and timeless than tiles or concrete too, and can genuinely add to your property’s value.
With options across floors, timber stairs, and parquetry, there’s plenty of scope to shape your space exactly how you want it. We can take care of maintenance and aftercare for you, or if you’d rather manage the upkeep yourself, our flooring makes that easy too.
Natural timber gives a space genuine character. The grain, the tone, and the way light shifts across it change from room to room, bringing a kind of warmth few other materials match.

With options across timber flooring, solid timber flooring, and hardwood flooring, there’s plenty of scope to shape your space exactly how you want it. Regular care helps protect the floor’s durability and natural finish. Sweep or vacuum with a soft attachment to remove grit, clean spills promptly, and use a lightly damp mop with a timber-floor cleaner recommended for your finish. Avoid excess water, steam mops, harsh chemicals, and dragging furniture across the surface. Felt pads, entrance mats, and stable indoor humidity can also help prevent scratches and movement.
We can manage maintenance and aftercare for you, or show you how to care for the floor yourself. Sanding and polishing is not required on a fixed schedule; timing depends on the timber flooring type, finish, traffic, and visible wear. A professional assessment can confirm when refinishing is needed. Solid timber flooring may be sanded and refinished several times, while engineered flooring has a more limited sanding depth. With the right cleaning routine and timely professional care, your timber floor can continue looking beautiful throughout your home for years.
