Commercial Timber Flooring
Built for the Demands of Commercial Environments
Kustom Timber specialises in commercial-grade engineered timber flooring for architects, designers, and developers who refuse to settle. Our locally manufactured European Oak and cork systems are engineered with dimensional stability, enhanced wear layers, and commercial coatings that extend surface life in high-impact zones. From specification to installation, we operate as an embedded technical partner—not a supplier with a catalogue.
We don't just deliver floorboards. We deliver a material foundation that holds its value, its appearance, and its structural performance across decades of use. This is timber flooring built for the rigour of commercial application, with the tactile warmth and tonal depth that makes a space feel intentional.
Our Commercial Capabilities
Commercial Sectors We Serve
Commercial timber flooring isn’t one-size-fits-all. Different environments demand different engineering solutions, wear layers, and finish systems.
We’ve worked across a range of sectors, and we understand the specific performance criteria that define success in each.
Hospitality
Cafes, restaurants, bars, and hotels require slip-resistant, hard-wearing surfaces that maintain visual warmth under heavy foot traffic and frequent cleaning regimes.
Gyms & Pilates Studios
Movement-based spaces need dimensional stability, impact absorption, and scratch resistance to handle equipment loads, moisture exposure, and constant activity.
Offices
Corporate environments prioritise acoustic performance, visual consistency, and long-term durability with minimal downtime for maintenance or refinishing.
Retail Stores
Retail spaces demand flawless presentation, high scratch resistance, and the ability to withstand concentrated foot traffic in entry zones and circulation paths.
Why Architects & Designers Specify Kustom Timber
Industry-Leading Warranties
25-year structural product warranty. 10-year installation warranty. We engineer our products to last, and we stand behind that claim with comprehensive coverage that protects your investment.
Australian Owned & Designed
We are proudly Australian-owned. While our flooring is manufactured overseas, our team works extremely closely with our trusted manufacturing partners to ensure every board meets our exacting standards. From material selection to finish and profile, we maintain full oversight of quality and customisation, so you receive timber flooring crafted with precision, consistency and care.
Optimised Material Efficiency
Our low nested cutting rates minimise wastage, reducing both material costs and environmental impact. Efficient fabrication translates to better project economics and faster turnarounds.
FSC-Certified & Sustainability Focused
We source European Oak from FSC-certified sustainable forests and use plantation hardwood cores in our engineered construction. Responsible forestry isn't optional—it's embedded in our supply chain.
Commercial Performance Standards
Slip Resistance
P3/P4-rated surfaces are suitable for wet and dry commercial zones, meeting Australian Standards for pedestrian safety.
Wear Layer Durability
Thicker overlay construction (4mm–6mm) allows for multiple refinishing cycles over the product’s lifespan.
Finish Performance
Commercial-grade polyurethane coatings with enhanced UV stability, chemical resistance, and surface hardness (measured via pencil hardness test).
Traffic Suitability
Engineered for heavy commercial foot traffic, including wheeled equipment, trolleys, and constant circulation.
Dimensional Stability
Multi-ply construction with sustainable hardwood cores provides superior resistance to expansion and contraction under fluctuating temperature and humidity conditions—critical for Australian slab-on-ground installations.
Scratch & Dent Resistance
Hard-wearing surface treatments minimise visible damage from impacts, chair legs, and equipment movement.
Compliance
All products comply with National Construction Code (NCC) requirements and relevant Australian Standards for commercial flooring systems.

Frequently asked questions
Commercial timber flooring is engineered for higher traffic loads, more frequent cleaning, and longer lifespan expectations. This typically involves thicker wear layers (4mm–6mm vs 3mm), commercial-grade polyurethane coatings with enhanced scratch and chemical resistance, and multi-ply engineered construction for superior dimensional stability. Commercial products also require compliance with Australian Standards for slip resistance (P3/P4 ratings) and fire performance (as per NCC). At Kustom Timber, our commercial range uses sustainable hardwood cores and FSC-certified European Oak overlays, designed specifically for the demands of hospitality, retail, office, and gym environments.
Yes—when specified correctly. Engineered European Oak with a 4mm+ wear layer and commercial-grade finish is designed for high-traffic hospitality environments. The key is proper substrate preparation, adequate acclimatisation, and the use of hard-wearing polyurethane systems that resist scratching, moisture exposure, and UV degradation. We also recommend slip-resistant finishes (P3/P4 rated) for front-of-house areas where spills are common. Our installation team has extensive experience in hospitality fitouts, and we work closely with architects and designers to ensure the floor performs as intended across the life of the venue.
With proper installation and maintenance, commercial-grade engineered timber flooring can last 25+ years. Our products carry a 25-year structural warranty and a 10-year installation warranty, reflecting the quality of materials and craftsmanship we deliver. The wear layer thickness determines how many times the floor can be refinished—our 4mm to 6mm overlays allow for multiple sanding and recoating cycles over the product’s lifespan. Regular maintenance (sweeping, appropriate cleaning agents, and periodic recoating) will extend surface life significantly, even in high-traffic zones.
Engineered timber flooring performs well in movement-based environments when correctly specified. The multi-ply construction provides dimensional stability under fluctuating humidity (common in gyms), and commercial coatings offer scratch and impact resistance for equipment loads. However, it’s essential to use proper underlays for acoustic control and to specify finishes that can handle sweat, cleaning agents, and heavy rolling equipment. We’ve installed timber floors in multiple pilates studios and boutique gyms across Melbourne and Brisbane, and we provide tailored maintenance guidance for these high-intensity spaces.
Lead times vary based on project scale, product selection, and site readiness. As a local manufacturer, we typically operate on shorter timelines than offshore suppliers—standard commercial projects range from 4–8 weeks from order to installation. Custom specifications (unique grades, widths, or finishes) may require additional lead time. Early engagement is critical: if we’re involved during the design phase, we can coordinate material procurement with your construction schedule to avoid delays.
