Quality endures long after the price is forgotten.

Why choose a traditional wooden floor from Sawmill Direct?

1. Solid wood flooring is beautiful and organic. A totally natural product. Our solid timber flooring products have no artificial treatments, glues, or synthetic additives common in engineered flooring alternatives.
2. Traditional solid wood floors have centuries of proven performance and add value when included in any new build or renovation.
3. Your new floor starts its life looking fantastic and decades later will be looking even better. A solid wood floor gets richer as it acquires a patina of use.
4. Solid wood flooring is healthy! Dry timber flooring has natural antibacterial and antifungal properties. With regular vacuuming or sweeping, a solid wood floor can harbour no mites or dust.
5. Our raw material, (blackwood logs) come from our local plantation grown forests here in South Westland. These blackwood forests were planted by the old NZ Forest service in the 70’s and 80’s as a high quality replacement timber for the diminishing and now protected native timber supplies.
6. Our log supply is 100% FSC certified as responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits. No unsustainable logging or tropical forest clearing….
7. Solid wood flooring from SawmillDirect is really good value. You are purchasing direct from the producer with NO middlemen. So 100% locally grown and processed. Our Sawmill Direct prices will surprise you.
8. We started this business in 1985 and we have a very long list of satisfied customers. We regularly get clients coming back that purchased a floor from us in years gone by, and are now using more of our flooring for their next project.
