Recycled Timber Flooring
At Timberzoo, timber often predestined for landfill is reprocessed into a sustainable flooring/lining option. Good for the planet and oh so beautiful!
Timberzoo carries FSC® chain of custody
certification. Meaning that all of Timberzoo's
recycled flooring products come with FSC®
certification. It's the re-assurance you want
when selecting your flooring.
Our Timber Flooring Options
Recycled Messmate Flooring - 90 x 19mm & 160 x 19mm
Beautiful wide boards, run to order.Recycled Messmate Overlay Flooring - 100 x 12mm
Boards in a 12mm overlay thickness. Stocks held throughout the year for this popular timber.About Recycled Hardwood Flooring & Lining Boards
Timberzoo mills high-quality floorboards and lining boards from salvaged hardwood, primarily roof rafters. These timbers originate from structural sources and were not originally graded for appearance. However, when re-milled at Timberzoo, boards are carefully selected to showcase a beautiful tonal range of pale to mid-browns.Natural Features
Our recycled Messmate flooring contains natural features that do not compromise structural integrity. The appearance is comparable to Standard Grade in new forest products, while our Shadowline board includes slightly more natural features and is equivalent to Feature & Better Grade. Any boards that fall below our minimum production standard are docked or discarded. Since the timbers are salvaged, some boards may display attrition features, which reflect their age and history. These may include mild black carbon-stained nail holes, surface furrows, and fine surface checks. The 160 x 19mm boards tend to have more of these characteristics, adding to their unique aesthetic.Floorboard Profiles & Installation Considerations
Our floorboards are: • Tongue-and-grooved with a secret-nail profile for easy installation. • Not supplied end-matched, making them ideal for overlay installations. • Fault-docked during production, but final docking should be performed on-site during installation. While end-matching is common for 19mm flooring, precision-docked boards are often preferred for overlay applications. Our conventional production docking does not meet this high precision, so on-site adjustments may be necessary.Quality Assurance & Drying Process
Timberzoo follows a strict Quality Assurance process to ensure the durability and stability of our flooring and lining boards. Every production timber undergoes a minimum 14-day drying period in our fan-forced Drying Shed. Moisture content is closely monitored throughout both the drying and production phases to maintain consistent quality.
