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
Light hardwood flooring | Antique flooring NZ | White oak | Handcrafted white oak wood flooring
The timeless charm of antique design lies in its quiet dialogue with time — the gentle traces of age, fine cracks, and subtle knots that whisper stories of the past. Antico celebrates these living marks through pure handcrafted mastery, unveiling the hidden grace within noble oak and revealing the wood’s most authentic character.
Engineered wood flooring combines enduring stability with the genuine warmth of solid timber. Each plank features a real oak surface layer, supported by meticulously balanced layers beneath — engineered to ensure lasting strength, equilibrium, and beauty that endures.
Soft natural hues and distinctive rustic patterns lend this flooring an effortless sophistication. It invites a calm and natural atmosphere into modern interiors, allowing light and space to breathe. Every board is entirely handcrafted — brushed, finished, and polished by hand — creating a velvety surface that feels both refined and resilient underfoot.
The glue-down installation method anchors each plank directly to the subfloor with durable adhesive. This technique minimizes movement caused by natural expansion and contraction, providing exceptional stability and reliable performance over time.
Each plank connects seamlessly through a Tongue & Groove system, where the tongue of one board fits precisely into the groove of the next. This traditional method ensures perfect alignment, minimizes gaps, and produces a smooth, continuous surface. In open or grand spaces, wide planks amplify the sense of elegance and timeless grandeur.

“It is perfect in imperfection.”
Antico Pavimenti in Legno is a hand-crafted European oak flooring collection that blends modern refinement with rustic charm. Each plank carries its own character — distinctive, natural, and full of life.
Every artisan at Antico reads the language of wood — its grains, textures, and stories — treating every crack and knot as a feature of authenticity rather than a flaw. From the initial design sketch to the final hand-brushed surface, each board is carefully sculpted, sanded, and finished to reveal the unique character of natural oak.
Italian artistry in flooring White oak embodies the timeless grace of Italian craftsmanship. Finished with a traditional wax-oil treatment, it radiates warmth and natural depth. The mellow, honey-toned surface brings a calm, harmonious atmosphere to any interior — a seamless balance between nature’s raw beauty and contemporary living.
