Solid Spotted Gum Flooring – Full Home Installation with
Seamless Integration

Project Overview

Croydon House underwent a full flooring transformation, with Madera Floors supplying and installing solid Spotted Gum timber throughout the entire residence. This project involved both a new concrete extension and the existing house, requiring careful preparation, substrate levelling, and precision installation. The result is a cohesive, richly textured floor that enhances the warmth and natural beauty of the home.

Design Notes

The bold character of Spotted Gum provides a natural statement across this entire home. The consistent material application from front to back — combined with expert secret nailing and seamless transition work — enhances both flow and elegance. The Bona Traffic finish protects the timber while allowing its unique grain and tonal variation to shine.
