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.

French oak... Or nothing else!

If you wonder sometimes whether you should choose French oak or European oak, buying your parquet floor from The Good House makes little difference, because our European oak is sourced from Western European countries where oak supply is sustainably managed. This includes France of course, as well as Germany, Austria and Slovenia, countries where timber harvesting is compliant with PEFC (Pan European Forestry Council), the equivalent of the American FSC (Forest Stewardship Council).
          However the definite advantage of Certified French Oak is with wider and thicker material, and our solid oak internal doors are the perfect illustration of this:

Our doors are designed and made by experienced French cabinet makers and joiners. They are traditionally constructed with mortice and tenon, and pin assembly, as per below detail. The bolection moulding also is a single double-sided piece of wood, 70mm thick.

Our French oak strip floor is 220mm wide, in random length up to 4800mm!

The Chantilly panels have been custom made to fit the first floor lobby !

These solid posts are 250 x 250 mm... and 4000 high for the rear of the stairs...!!!

In the rumpus room, the floorboards are only 180mm wide.

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.

Chevron solid oak parquetry a must in French Provincial design.

          There is no denying the fascinating effect a chevron floor always exerts on your visitors, whether in a slick dark chocolate finish as in the pictures on this page, or in a more rustic, bevelled and brushed finish.

          The Good House is proud to have supplied chevron blades for some remarkable projects around Melbourne, to the utmost satisfaction of our clients, for now 17 years. Please note that we are one of the very few companies in Melbourne supplying chevron blades strictly in the "all 4 side Tongue & Groove" type, that will stand the test of time like no other.

          We keep regular stock of raw products, and factory finished products are usually available within 6 to 10 weeks.
          Unfinished stocked products include herringbone and chevron parquet, Versailles and Chantilly panels, solid certified French oak wide boards (220mm wide - up to 5m long / 180mm wide up to 2.5m) and 21/6 x 220mm engineered boards.
          Feel free to contact us for price information and stock availability. Our service also includes free layout drawing if you can provide a CAD file of your floor plan when you place your order with TGH.

Timber flooring quality that shows ...

     There are those companies chasing awards and recognition from their pairs; or those claiming the largest project, largest stock, largest this or that … At The Good House we claim offering our clients the best quality for their budget, and we have done so for the last 18 years.

     This chevron parquet in a Nicholas Day designed house is a testimony that quality stands out, and doesn't happen by chance, but by a sustained effort towards the best possible results.

     Traditional tongue and groove construction allows for a discreet but stylish bevel, and the lightly smoked finish enhances the natural features of French oak. 

     And if you ever wondered what is the cost of such a magnificent floor, just remember the old saying: "save money, buy quality …"
