Timber floors for indoor-outdoor living in Cottesloe

Timber floor to stacker doors in a Cottesloe home

Cottesloe homes are built for entertaining, with big stacker and bi-fold doors opening to alfresco areas. Timber floors run right up to those doors – and that’s where they’re most at risk from sand, rain blowing in and wet feet from the pool or beach. Timber flooring in Cottesloe needs careful detailing at these openings.

We plan the floor so expansion gaps and trims at the door tracks are neat and protected, and we can recommend a hard-wearing finish for high-traffic zones near the doors. Placing a mat or a durable threshold where people step in from outside keeps most of the grit off the timber.

Inside, a consistent timber floor from the living area through to the kitchen makes the whole space flow out towards the garden or terrace.
