About Gold Coast Hardwood Flooring

How it all began

After 15 years experience in timber floor installation as a qualified and fully licensed carpenter for some of Australia's leading Timber Flooring companies such as Boral & Queensland Timber Flooring, Simeon Coburn decided to start his own business. It was the natural evolution as the demand for his services continued to rapidly grow.

 His attention to detail, craftsmanship, care and responsibility, speed and accuracy and extensive industry knowledge have become so apparent to builders and home owners that they started to approach him personally for ongoing projects. It seems that quality craftsmanship is hard to come by these days and so the demand for his services continued to expand. 

Our Mission is: To be known by customers and the timber flooring industry as leaders in craftsmanship, quality, speed, service and value.

Our Point of Difference

We maintain high standards of work with our carefully selected and trained staff

​In this highly competitive industry, most large companies use contractors to install their timber floors. We found in our years of experience that contracting with these companies directly impacts the floors' quality and craftsmanship. The standards could not be maintained. The contractor has no accountability for his work, and the company has difficulty instilling its culture, policies and procedures. Here at Gold Coast Hardwood Floors, the Contractor is also the company owner; therefore, we employ our staff. Our small team has been carefully selected and trained to maintain a high level of accountability and quality and continuously work under Simeon's management and supervision.

We Value Sustainability 

Having one of the longest-estimated life spans, a relatively small energy footprint, and high recycling potential, hardwood floors are not only an intelligent option for current home builders but will also benefit future residents

​Unless specified otherwise or with prior approval to the contrary, we use only sustainable plantation-grown timber products, or timber sourced in accordance with Timber Queensland’s “Code of Practice for Native Forests”.

Making a sustainable choice when designing your home doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice on style. Because flooring covers more space in your home than almost any other material, choosing your flooring is no small task, and it’s a decision that makes a big impact on your home’s design.

The look of hardwood is appealing to many, but there are some popular misconceptions about wood products that can turn people off. It’s important to know the facts about hardwood before you start making decisions.

Sustainably Harvested

Wood is a renewable resource, and government regulations have been set to protect both the timeframe and amount of wood that can be harvested.

What people often fail to realise is the fact that harvesting trees has a very minimal effect on the environment, when it’s managed carefully and with sustainability as a priority. For every cubic foot of trees that are cut down, an average of 1.66 cubic feet are planted back, ensuring that the rate of harvest is always less than the average growth rate.

While it takes hardwood trees up to 60 years to mature, the current supply is enough to last through at least the next 100 years, giving newly planted trees time to grow and mature.

Manufacturing​

So much of the manufacturing process for floor coverings can result in waste. Left-over raw materials and chemicals used in processing can have a major effect on the environment and a project's bottom line.
Wood and stone require the least amount of energy to produce, however. Carpet, linoleum, and tile require considerably more energy to engineer, and more chemicals are used in in the manufacturing of these products.

Wood production has very little waste since manufacturers use wood chips and sawdust to produce paper and other composite products. Excess wood can also be burned and is considered clean bio-energy. These waste management alternatives allow wood producers to use 99% of each tree that is harvested.

Long Lasting

With proper care and maintenance, wood floors can last over 100 years and can be refinished and restained if needed. Linoleum and laminate, however, have an estimated life span of 15-25 years, while carpet lasts only about eight to ten years.

Stone and tile flooring can also last upwards of 100 years, but these materials can’t be refinished and are prone to staining and cracks. Hardwood, on the other hand, is extremely durable and does not show the everyday wear and tear like many of the alternatives.

When it comes to price, carpet and linoleum are typically cheaper than wood, while stone and tile are usually more expensive. 

Although wood may not be the cheapest option initially, floors should not need to be replaced within a homeowner’s lifetime, saving you time and money in the long run.

Reusable

Hardwoods are one of the few flooring options that can be used more than once for flooring and other building projects. As mentioned above, hardwoods can be sanded and restained to match many different design plans. If the wood is too damaged to be used again as flooring, there are many ways to recycle wood for other projects like furniture, accent walls, or other decorative features. Reclaimed wood has grown in popularity, and many people even prefer the look of recycled wood that has been exposed to the elements. Wood is also biodegradable and in some cases can be burned for fuel.

Aside from the aesthetic appeal that wood floors add to a home, they are a sustainable option for building owners or designers who make environmental responsibility a priority. Having one of the longest-estimated life spans, a relatively small energy footprint, and high recycle potential, hardwood floors are not only a smart option for current home builders, but will also benefit future residents.

Impact on Air Quality & 
Climate Change

The demand for sustainable and environmentally-responsible solutions is growing, so it benefits designers and builders to keep the environmental footprint in mind during large scale projects. Trees take in carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, so wood is considered a carbon-neutral product and remains that way even after being harvested. Through sustainable harvesting and their carbon neutral status, hardwood floors create a very low environmental impact.
Another positive note: research by the Environmental Protection Agency shows that wood flooring improves overall air quality in the home. 

This is because hardwood floors are hypoallergenic, and contamination from animal dander, mold, and dust is minimal. Other flooring alternatives use glues and harsh adhesives that can have a negative effect on the environment and household air quality due to emissions during the life of the flooring.
