Our Native New Zealand Timber Flooring

We offer a stunning range of native timber flooring options, each with its own unique character and charm. Explore our premium selection below.

Rimu Flooring

Rimu timber is a classic choice for those wanting to infuse their home with the warmth and charm of natural wood. Renowned for its rich, golden-brown tones and distinctive grain patterns, Rimu flooring adds both depth and character to any room. The timber’s warm hues range from soft honey shades to deeper reddish-browns, creating a striking visual appeal that works beautifully in a variety of settings.


Rimu’s unique grain is often interlocked and wavy, giving each plank a natural, organic feel—no two pieces are ever the same. This makes Rimu ideal for both traditional interiors, where its heritage qualities shine, and contemporary spaces looking for a touch of natural elegance.

  • Appearance: Rich, warm hues with fine, interlocked grain patterns that provide a unique, textured look.
  • Applications: Perfect for living areas, hallways, and bedrooms. Rimu works well in both classic and modern home designs.
  • Durability: Strong and long-lasting, Rimu is well-suited for high-traffic areas, offering both beauty and resilience.

It’s the perfect choice for those wanting to make a statement with their floors, blending eye-catching design with classic sophistication.


One of Matai’s standout features is its exceptional hardness. This makes it an incredibly robust flooring solution, capable of withstanding significant foot traffic without compromising its beauty.

The soft golden hues of Kauri create a sense of openness and tranquilly, enhancing the natural light in any space. Its gentle, straight grain adds a touch of understated elegance, allowing Kauri floors to seamlessly complement both modern and classic interiors.


Kauri is known not only for its beauty but also for its versatility.
