Osborne Park is home to more timber flooring shops than anywhere else in Perth, so the real question is which one suits you.
When you are shopping for timber flooring Osborne Park is the place to start. The suburb is packed with builders, suppliers and the greatest concentration of timber flooring stores in Perth, all within a few minutes of each other. From budget laminate to premium engineered and solid floors, the choice of timber flooring Osborne Park shoppers face can feel overwhelming. This guide compares your options on price, quality and range so you can choose the best floor for your lifestyle and your home.
New to timber floors? Here is the quick version.
Engineered timber flooring is a real wood floor built from a hardwood veneer, usually 3 to 7mm thick, bonded to a stable plywood base. The timber surface looks and wears like solid hardwood and can be sanded back, while the engineered core resists the movement caused by Perth's changing humidity. Premium engineered boards are pre-finished, so they can be laid and walked on the same day.
Set your budget first, then match the floor to it.
Like most things, the more you invest in your floor the better the look, quality and lifespan you can expect. Osborne Park caters to every budget, so it helps to know what each price point realistically buys.
At this level you are looking at laminate, floating floors and some very cheap engineered timber. This is the kind of floor you would find at the IKEA store nearby. It looks like timber but is a printed surface mounted on board.
Osborne Park has many carpet stores that also stock timber substitutes, including look-a-like timber, laminate and cheaper engineered boards, plus vinyl tiles printed to resemble timber. These shops tend to carry a broad range matched to their carpet colours.
This is where dedicated timber flooring retailers come in. Expect high quality engineered timber or even solid timber, usually with a direct stick installation rather than a floating floor. Direct stick creates a more permanent, longer lasting floor because it can be re-sanded and polished in future.
Premium does not have to mean complicated.
If you want a premium floor, either a solid timber equivalent or a premium grade engineered board, visit Lifewood Timber Flooring in Osborne Park.

A printed photo of wood grain mounted on MDF. Affordable at around $50 per square metre supplied and installed, but it cannot be sanded or refinished.
A real wood veneer of 3 to 7mm on a plywood substrate. A big advantage of an engineered board is that it can be pre-finished, so it is laid and walked on the same day.
A solid piece of raw timber, this is a premium floor with a longer, messier installation. The result is stunning warmth and vibrancy that suits almost any decor. Lifewood Stabilised Solid flooring is 100 percent hardwood from top to bottom.
Be very clear about how the floor will look in your home. Ask for samples and view them under different light sources, and always read the fine print on the warranty.
