• urban salvage A retail mecca for architects and owner-builders seeking alternatives to mainstream flooring options. Manager Andy Mineur has a colourful background in building and recycling to support his present role. An experienced cabinet-maker, he spent many years building solid timber kitchens from recycled woods. One interesting chapter in his life as a carpenter was the resurrection of an old timber pub in Queensland - relocated to a waterfront site on the back of a low-loader. Andy knows timber and loves it like most 'woodies' do. He is a capable advisor for flooring and furniture timbers. The dynamic showroom at Spotswood was unique in the 90s and has become a much-copied classic.
