It’s hard to resist the natural allure of wooden flooring, but maybe you’ve been holding back on account of how much waste your choices might create. You’re definitely not wrong; with over two million tonnes of timber getting sent to Australia’s landfills each year, it’s hard to make a purchase like that with a clear conscience! But Reconstructed can let you have the best of both worlds with their hardwood flooring, which is made from 100% recycled Australian timber!

Wondering how it all works? Let’s reconstruct the process. At Reconstructed, all timber is collected through the company’s sister sustainable demolition business, The Salvage Centre, which sources usable timber from old houses, factories, and warehouses as they are about to be demolished.
The salvaged timber is sorted and inspected for visual defects, mould, insects, and other damage before being re-milled and repurposed into new products. These products are free of VOCs and other toxins, ensuring you can use them safely for prolonged periods.
But sustainability isn’t the only advantage to using recycled timber. Reclaimed wood is often cut from larger trees with slower growth rates, has expanded and contracted many times over its lifetime, and has endured more exposure to the elements, which means it’s more durable and resistant to warping. Ergo, you can expect Reconstructed’s hardwood flooring to last longer than alternatives made from virgin wood!
As part of its selection of flooring, Reconstructed offers engineered floorboards composed of a layer of high-quality hardwood mounted on a plank of plywood, which improves cushioning and moisture resistance while providing you with the visual appeal of natural wood. Now that’s having your cake and eating it too!
Another popular option is the company’s hybrid reconstructed flooring, which is made from a blend of messmate; rather than plywood, this flooring contains a “floating layer” of recycled hardwood pieces that are too small to use for floorboard surfaces, creating panels that are stronger than standard engineered boards while maximising the amount of old timber used. And that means Reconstructed is maximising the amount of old timber being kept out of landfills!
Reconstructed also offers choices such as Tasmanian oak flooring, rough-sawn timber, reconstructed and engineered chevron flooring, and reconstructed and engineered herringbone flooring. As with the company’s other options, all products are fashioned from recycled Australian hardwood, making them more eco-friendly than conventional wood floors.
Reconstructed is Australia’s leading supplier of recycled and sustainable timber. The company prioritises environmental sustainability, and all of its timber is FSC-certified and carbon-neutral. Buy flooring from them, and you’ll be supporting a company that does its part for the environment - all while doing your own part and securing a beautiful hardwood floor for your property. There are basically no downsides to this arrangement at all! Aren’t you floored?
