We visited a number of different timber suppliers around Perth to see what products were out there and when we came across Lifewood’s products we were very impressed. They were of a really outstanding quality and we were just happy with the fabrication and how the boards were made so that convinced us from the start that we wanted to have the Lifewood oak flooring in our home.

We visited the Lifewood showroom in Osborne Park and we were amazed at the size and what they had to offer in terms of the different timber species. I was immediately drawn to the oak flooring and the next choice was obviously to choose a colour, and there are a number of colours on offer.

I narrowed it down to two colours, the Black Forest and the Charcoal. I had a strong preference for the Black Forest and right up until almost install day, I sort of still had a little seed of doubt.

Tony came out to site and brought along a few boxes of both the Black Forest and Charcoal flooring and we laid them out in the rooms they were going to be laid in. Once they were down, with all the lighting, we immediately knew that we were going to go with the Black Forest oak flooring. That convinced us of our choice and we were very happy.

Installation happened over couple of days which was a really quick turnaround. I was really happy that the floors were pre-finished and once they go down that’s it, they’re finished and ready to walk on. There’s no sanding or staining or painting, or anything else required.

They’re just laid and they’re done.”
