If consent drawings specify tiles, vinyl, or similar materials, any substitution with laminate, SPC, wood, or other flooring requires a Minor Variation approved by Council before installation.
Installation without approval will create a mismatch with the consented drawings, and Council may reject the product at inspection regardless of compliance documents.
Failure to obtain approval may result in inspection failure, delays, or added costs. Dismiss
Antico handcrafted engineered oak flooring brings together the natural beauty of real timber with a warm and timeless interior aesthetic. Each plank showcases the authentic character of oak through subtle knots, gentle grain movement, and natural tonal variation, creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere throughout the home.
Inspired by the quiet elegance of natural materials, this flooring is designed to complement both contemporary and classic interiors. The soft oak tones pair well with stone, neutral textures, natural fabrics, and architectural spaces, adding warmth without overwhelming the overall design.
Every board is carefully hand-finished to preserve the organic expression of the timber. Light brushing and detailed surface finishing enhance the texture of the wood while maintaining a refined and natural appearance under changing light conditions. Rather than appearing overly uniform, the surface retains the individuality and visual depth that make real oak flooring distinctive.
The engineered wood construction combines a genuine oak surface layer with a layered core structure, allowing the floor to maintain the visual richness and texture associated with natural timber. Wide planks create a sense of openness and continuity across interior spaces, making them particularly suited to open-plan living environments.
Antico flooring is recommended for full glue-down installation to achieve a clean and consistent floor finish. The Tongue & Groove profile allows each board to connect neatly with the next, creating smooth transitions between planks and a cohesive overall appearance.
With its balanced natural colour, handcrafted texture, and understated oak character, Antico engineered wood flooring offers a calm and timeless foundation for modern New Zealand interiors.

Antico Pavimenti in Legno — Perfect in Imperfection
Antico Pavimenti in Legno is a handcrafted collection of European oak flooring that beautifully blends modern elegance with rustic charm. Its unique character lies in its authenticity — perfect in imperfection.
Every artisan at Antico possesses an intimate understanding of wood’s natural language — its textures, its knots, its subtle flaws that tell a story of time. Each crack and knot is respected, carefully preserved, and treated to maintain its originality. From design to restoration, every step is carried out with precision and care. The surface is brushed layer by layer, allowing the wood’s natural depth to emerge until every plank becomes a one-of-a-kind creation.
The result is more than a floor — it’s a living surface that transforms any space into an experience of warmth, texture, and timeless artistry.
