Engineered Chevron Parquetry A sensible choice for extra-wide size.

          Trends come and go in the building industry, and parquetry is not immune to it. In recent years we've seen an increased demand for wider, longer parquetry boards, to the extent that 125 and 150mm wide products account for half of our current sales, be it in the Herringbone or Chevron type.


          This tasteful apartment in the heart of Melbourne CBD is clear evidence of this trend. The Good House supplied and installed 150 x 730 mm engineered chevron boards to the utmost satisfaction of the client.




          In such a situation, engineered French oak does not only appeal to the budget conscious, but also to those who expect their flooring to stay immaculate for years to come. Engineered products are extremely stable, they won't warp or shrink, and with a 4 or 6mm top layer of select grade French oak and hardwood backing ply, they will last for a lifetime.

          Still, at The Good House we mostly are a boutique business where no two jobs are the same, and be it engineered or solid, we keep custom delivering what our clients want.

Step up in style with French oak stairs !

          Quite logically, when you have a French oak flooring installed in your new house, it makes sense to have it complemented with solid French oak stairs, and in the same finish too.

          At The Good House, we can supply custom made treads and risers in full-width single boards as well as solid balustrades and handrails up to 48mm thick. The value added to your project by genuine French oak stairs is tremendous, be it for your own home or as part of your next residential development.

          Please check these pictures for some stunning results and amazing details.


2.5m wide at the start...


Stairs, parquetry, doors... simply solid French oak .

Bullnose or pencil-round, it's your choice.

Sometimes the final touch is up to your tradies...

Symmetry is one of the basic laws of aesthetics...




Bullnose...

... Or pencil-round.

French oak chevron parquet an absolute winner in Classic Toorak apartments!

         

                    No matter the width, the length and the finish (bevelled, brushed, smoked or antiquated..) if you are renovating a posh apartment in one of the most sought after suburbs of Melbourne, chevron parquet is the floor of choice.



                    We custom make the boards to fit the width of the rooms, as in the traditional way. We lay borders across doorways to add even a bit more style or simply deal with walk-in robes and en-suites or island benches that cannot be aligned with the main rooms layout.


                    With a bit of experience you can quite easily tell apart genuine French oak milled from sustainably harvested large trees, from clear-felled Eastern Europe timber. Feel free to contact us to discuss your project in details.

Beautiful things come in small package ... again at The Good House ...

          In the older part of Armadale, designer Sarah Healy has crafted a love nest that includes all the ingredients and tricks a place can use to keep you inside, no matter how loud the outer world is calling for you.




          At The Good House, we truly enjoy cooperating in projects where only the best can do. Our Chevron parquet was factory finished in a medium walnut stained oil, and got a final coat of clear oil on site to provide that subtle sheen one would expect from genuine French oak flooring and furniture.




          The chevron blades were custom made to fit the width of the hallway leading to the kitchen / living open space. Our service includes providing a CAD drawing of the layout, so as to minimize waste and ensure the client is happy with the pattern, its general direction and the possible use of borders.
