Overview
Real timber flooring remains the benchmark finish for Gold Coast homes. Whether it is engineered oak in a Broadbeach apartment, spotted gum in a Burleigh Heads beach house or a full sand-and-recoat of existing hardwood in Southport, timber adds warmth, resale value and a level of quality no printed finish can match. Orange Projects supplies and installs solid and engineered timber flooring across every Gold Coast suburb, plus Brisbane and surrounding South East Queensland. As a QBCC-licensed business we can lay flooring as a standalone job or as part of a wider renovation, so trades, timing and finishes are all coordinated under one contract.

Engineered vs solid timber on the Gold Coast
Engineered timber is the most common choice on the Gold Coast because its multi-layer construction handles humidity swings far better than solid boards, and it can be laid directly over concrete slabs - which most Gold Coast apartments and modern homes have. Solid hardwood still has its place in older Queenslanders and character homes where boards are being matched or extended, and it can be sanded back many more times over its life. We walk you through the trade-offs on site: board width, wear-layer thickness, species, finish sheen and how each option behaves in your specific home before anything is ordered.
Sub-floor preparation and moisture control
Timber floors fail when moisture is ignored. Gold Coast slabs frequently carry higher residual moisture than installers expect, and coastal humidity moves timber constantly. We moisture-test every sub-floor, grind and level where required, install the correct vapour barrier and set expansion gaps sized for local conditions. That preparation is included in the fixed price rather than being discovered as a variation halfway through the job.
Sanding, coating and finishing
Existing hardwood floors often only need sanding and re-coating rather than replacement. We machine-sand, edge, fill and apply water-based polyurethane or hard-wax oil depending on the look and durability you want, with dust extraction throughout. Matte, satin and gloss finishes are all available, and we can colour-match new sections to existing boards where a renovation joins old and new areas.
Finished properly, start to finish
We install skirtings or scotia, threshold trims at every doorway, stair nosings where timber runs to stairs, and remove and dispose of your old floor coverings. Most Gold Coast homes are complete within a week including coating cure time, and we sequence flooring correctly against painting and cabinetry so the finish is not damaged by trades that follow.

Frequently asked questions
How much does timber flooring cost on the Gold Coast?
Engineered timber flooring on the Gold Coast typically runs $110-$160 per square metre supplied and installed, with premium wide-plank European oak $160-$220 per square metre. Sanding and re-coating existing timber is usually $45-$70 per square metre. Orange Projects provides a fixed-price quote after an on-site inspection.
How long does timber flooring installation take?
Most Gold Coast homes are laid in 2-4 days, with sanding and coating adding a further 2-3 days including cure time. Sub-floor grinding, levelling or removal of existing flooring can add 1-2 days.
Is engineered timber better than solid hardwood in Queensland?
For most Gold Coast homes, yes. Engineered timber is far more stable in humid, coastal conditions and can be laid over concrete slabs. Solid hardwood suits character homes and situations where existing boards are being matched or extended.
Can you sand and re-coat my existing timber floors?
Yes. Sanding and re-coating is often a much better value option than replacement. We machine-sand with dust extraction, fill and repair boards, then apply water-based polyurethane or hard-wax oil in your chosen sheen.
Do I need council approval to install timber flooring in Queensland?
No - timber flooring is a cosmetic upgrade and does not require Gold Coast City Council approval. Strata buildings may require acoustic underlay compliance, which we specify where relevant.
