The Smart Solution for Renovation Flooring
Jarrah overlay flooring is engineered specifically for projects where floor height, weight, or subfloor condition makes traditional solid flooring impractical. At around half the thickness of standard solid flooring, overlay boards lay directly over concrete slabs, particleboard subfloors, and existing flooring — giving you the full beauty of Australian Jarrah without the structural build-up that can disrupt door heights, thresholds, and stair clearances. Despite its slimmer profile, Jarrah overlay retains the deep burgundy-red heartwood, flowing interlocked grain, and characteristic colour depth that make Jarrah one of the most recognised and sought-after flooring timbers in Australia. Each board carries its own natural character, developing a richer patina over the years — a genuine solid hardwood surface that sands, refinishes, and performs exactly like traditional Jarrah flooring.
Why Choose Jarrah Overlay Flooring?
A slim-profile solid hardwood that combines the beauty of real Jarrah with the practical advantages of a renovation-friendly flooring system.
Janka Hardness — How Jarrah Compares
Jarrah's Janka hardness of 8.5 kN puts it among Australia's toughest decking timbers, providing superior scratch and impact resistance for high-traffic outdoor areas.
