The Material

Noble by nature. Engineered to last.

Genuine European oak and precision German engineering — the timber at the heart of every HARO floor.

Why HARO

The beauty of solid oak, without its limitations.

Every HARO floor begins with real European oak — hand-graded for character, then engineered in Germany into a multi-layer board that stays flat, stable and beautiful for generations. You get the warmth, grain and depth of natural timber, built to be lived on in an Australian home.

HARO engineered timber construction
Superior Performance

Engineered to the core.

"The internal core of engineered timber flooring is vital to its performance."

A multi-layer construction built around a solid spruce core secures a top layer of selected European wood, with a locking system on all four sides for easy installation and zero movement. Every plank arrives pre-finished — ready to live on.

30-Year Guarantee

Residential warranty on every floor.

100% Natural

A genuine, breathable timber product.

Easy Care

Wear layer

~3.5 mm oak

A substantial layer of genuine European oak — deep enough to be sanded back and refreshed over a long life.

Stability

Up to 70% less movement

The crosswise solid-spruce core dramatically reduces the swelling and shrinking that affects solid timber.

Underfoot

Warm & quiet

Compatible with underfloor heating and cooling, and warm underfoot the moment you step onto it.

Guaranteed

30-year warranty

Every engineered floor is backed by a 30-year residential warranty. Made in Germany, made to last.

Engineered oak vs solid timber

Solid boards are milled from a single piece of hardwood — beautiful, but they move as one piece, gapping in summer and cupping in winter. HARO's engineered construction counters this: bonding the layers against the grain largely cancels that movement out, so the floor stays flat.

  • Stability — far less movement through seasonal humidity swings.
  • Underfloor heating — engineered is compatible; solid generally is not.
  • Sandable — the ~3.5 mm oak wear layer can be sanded back several times.
  • Efficient — a precious hardwood layer over a stable core uses each tree far more efficiently.

Surfaces & character

Every board, individual.

Because it is real wood, no two HARO boards are ever quite the same. Grade sets how much natural character — knots, colour and grain — your floor shows, from calm and uniform to wild and rustic; surface finish and structure decide how it feels underfoot.
