Lifewood - Handcrafted Flooring

The journey started by intially asking Mr Google. And whallahh... there was plenty of sites to choose bamboo, but one stood out from the rest. Why? one may ask. What caught my attention was the "no hidden costs" amongst all the other literature on the website. So this was why lifewood (Bamboozle at the time) became one of the sydnicates for the great race of "who will get the job". From the very start of initially registering online the communications was between lifewood to us was excellent. As things were heating it was becoming very apparent lifewood was going to be probably our preferred installer. So the wife was sent to visit the showroom to get some samples. She arrived home, bragging that she had recieved a good cuppa from the team at lifewood, but best of all she had a bag full of flooring samples. It wasnt hard to choose the colour after seeing these but one that did stand out from the rest of was the structure of how the board is made. The board is manufactured like a piece of ply except that the laminations are about 6mm thick and is totally made of bamboo and is very stable (resists cupping). After some more communication the installation date was arranged and the countdown started. The day before installation was due to occur the goodies arrived on site. I offered to help but the delivery guy was quite insistent that I didnt need to give him a hand. Watching him unload was like watching oil pouring from an oil can. He just got in there and unloaded a butt load of 20kg boxes. If your into crossfit I reckon this guy would give you a good go for your money. After a anxious sleep, the big day arrived. The team arrived right on time and got straight into it. They were easy to talk to and were happy to share their knowledge about the process of laying the floor. Day one was applying the dampcourse which is rolled on and then left to cure overnight. Day two the boards started going down. And did they go down. The installers were like rats on steriods as they applied the glue to the concrete floor and then laid the bamboo on top. Its pretty remarkable to see how good the machining tolerances allow a flush fit without having to clamp the board together to obtain a tight fit. The other important aspect is that the installers were meticulous in obtaining a good finish. It was evident that they were true professionals and took pride in their craftsmanship. The total install took five days for a total of 186m2. Would of liked to have had it in the bedrooms as well but this was due to loosing the rock paper scissors off to the rest of the family who wanted carpet in these areas. I did manage to get it installed in the walkin robes so maybe one day my lobbying will come to fruition!! The finished product is a masterpiece, and for those that like the warmth of wood it definitely ticks all the boxes. For me I look at it every day and are still extremely satisfied that I chose lifewood to be our flooring of choice. For those that are thinking of installing bamboo, I have no hesitation in highly recommending Lifewood. You wont be disappointed.

Really happy with the bamboo floor that was recently installed at our place. Excellent service from the Lifewood team - from showroom advice to installation. Highly recommend this company, truly a team of professionals!

From the beginning,we were impressed with the attention our sales person gave us. She was very informative and very very helpful considering the many times we visited the show room and the hundreds of questions we asked. In the end we are very happy with the result. It looks fabulous and are very happy with the choice of Lime washed French Oak. The service and installation was very professional. We would recommend and use Lifewood again if the opportunity arose. A job well done. Thank you.

I renovated my old apartment, which was dated with old carpet on different levels. Lifewood installed a bamboo floor and acoustic insulation that totally transformed it to an up-market apartment of status. I am very pleased with the quality of work, fittings and professionalism of this company (not to mention the excellent coffee they have when visiting their showroom!).

Thanks to Morgane and the Lifewood team. What an amazing result we have with our new floor. Hank the installer was incredible, fast, efficient and professional. A 10 out of 10 job that looks fantastic. Can't recommend the team highly enough!!!!

Lifewood installed blackbutt flooring in our house, which had some existing flooring with the same material but installed conventionally. The product is excellent and the installation process seamless with no dust or residual odour.
