Real Hardwood, Built to Last a Lifetime
Solid timber flooring is the top choice for homeowners who want a timeless, natural look with unbeatable longevity. Each board is milled from a single piece of hardwood, so it can be sanded back and refinished many times over its life — a true long-term investment that adds value to your home. At Yida we use specialised processing to boost the stability of our solid timber, so it can handle higher-humidity areas and even underfloor heating without expanding or warping. As a direct manufacturer and importer with 40 years’ experience, we cut out the middleman — giving you premium hardwood at factory-direct prices, supplied or fully installed.Looking for something else?

Heatable Solid Timber Collection
Most suppliers only offer engineered boards over underfloor heating — we offer genuine solid hardwood that’s heat-stable. After 12 years of R&D, tracking 5,600 households and 1,100+ temperature/humidity experiments, we selected 9 precious hardwood species suited to heated floors. Our 211°C heavy-carbonisation process physically modifies the timber so it stays stable with underfloor heating — warmth and the beauty of real hardwood, all year round.

Pricing
What Does Solid Timber Flooring Cost?
Solid timber is priced per square metre and moves with your choices — species, finish, and whether you want it supplied only or supplied and installed. We mill and lay every board ourselves, so you deal with one company from the factory to the finished floor. Request a free solid timber flooring quote below for an exact, itemised price.| Product | Supply Only | Supplied & Installed |
|---|---|---|
| Factory-Finished pre-sanded & coated, ready to lay | From $98/m² | From $150/m² |
| Site-Finished sanded & coated after laying | From $98/m² | From $185/m² |
Site-finishing adds roughly $35–45/m² over factory-finished for the on-site sanding and coating labour. Subfloor levelling, where needed, adds a further $10–25/m². These are starting prices — get a free, no-obligation flooring quote for the exact cost of your job.
What Moves The Material Price
- Species & grade — European Oak, Blackbutt, Spotted Gum and rare imported species all sit at different price points.
- Board width & length — wider, longer boards cost more to mill and select.
- Finish — factory pre-finished vs. raw boards finished on site.
- Total area — larger orders generally land a better rate per m².
What Moves The Install Price
- Subfloor prep — solid boards are nailed or glued to a structural subfloor, so damaged or uneven areas need repair or levelling first.
- Acclimatisation — solid boards need to sit on site for several days before laying so they settle to the room, which affects scheduling.
- Layout complexity — stairs, thresholds, borders and cut-heavy rooms take longer to lay board by board.
- Old flooring removal — carpet, tile or an existing floor needs pickup and disposal before installation starts.
Why Is There a Price Range?
We sell two ways to get the same solid timber floor. Factory-finished boards arrive pre-sanded and pre-coated — they go straight down and the room is back in use the same day. Site-finished boards are laid raw, then sanded and coated in your home, which costs more in labour but gives a seamless, joint-free surface with no micro-bevels. Neither is better — it is a trade-off between cost, downtime and the exact look you want.Estimate Your Solid Timber Floor

Solid Timber Flooring FAQs
Can solid timber flooring be used with underfloor heating?
Yes — unlike most suppliers, we offer a dedicated heat-stable solid-timber range in 9 species, modified through our 211°C carbonisation process specifically for heated floors. Ask us which suits your system.
What’s the difference between solid and engineered timber?
Solid timber is a single piece of hardwood that can be re-sanded many times. Engineered has a real timber top layer on a stable core — great over concrete. See our engineered range.
How much does solid timber flooring cost?
Price depends on the species, board width and finish you choose, plus whether you want it supplied only or supplied and installed. A site-finished floor and subfloor levelling both add to the job. Send us your room sizes and preferred species and we will give you an exact, itemised quote.
Does the timber species change the price?
Yes — species is one of the main things that moves the material price, along with board width and finish. Our solid range includes European Oak, Blackbutt, Spotted Gum, American Red Oak, Cumaru (Brazilian Teak) and Okan, Teak and Merbau, all milled in our own factory. Solid timber starts from $98/m² supply-only. Tell us the species you have in mind and we will quote it exactly.
What extra costs should I budget for beyond the floor itself?
Subfloor levelling is the most common extra, at roughly $10–25/m² depending on how far out the slab is. Choosing a site-finished floor rather than a factory-finished one adds roughly $35–45/m² for the on-site sanding and coating. Removal of existing flooring, skirting and scotia are quoted separately.
What is the difference between supply-only and supplied and installed?
Supply-only covers the timber delivered to you. Supplied and installed covers the timber, the labour, the fixings and the finishing. Always compare quotes on the same basis, and ask for the lines separately.
Can solid timber be installed over concrete?
Yes, with the right preparation and method. Our team assesses your subfloor and recommends the best approach.
How do I clean and maintain solid timber floors?
Sweep or vacuum regularly, wipe spills promptly, and clean with a damp (not wet) mop and timber-floor cleaner. Re-sand and refinish every several years to keep it looking new.
Do you supply only, or also install?
Both — buy materials only, or have our experienced team supply and professionally install across the Melbourne metropolitan area.
