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
Quality, Elegant, Handcrafted oak engineered wood flooring, European product.
The enduring appeal of antique style lies in its ability to preserve the marks of time — subtle cracks, knots, and textures that reveal true character. Antico celebrates these natural traces through 100% handcrafted artistry, accentuating the hidden beauty within noble oak and expressing the wood’s fullest natural charm.
Engineered wood flooring provides superior stability while retaining all the visual warmth and authenticity of solid timber. Each plank is composed of a real oak surface layer, supported by layers of carefully selected materials beneath — designed to enhance both durability and balance.
With its soft, natural oak tones and distinctive rustic details, this flooring creates a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere. Even in the heart of the city, it brings the calm breath of nature indoors. Every surface is meticulously handcrafted — brushed, treated, and polished by hand — resulting in a smooth, refined finish that feels both delicate and enduring underfoot.
The glue-down installation method secures each plank directly to the substrate with strong adhesive. This minimizes natural expansion and contraction, ensuring optimal stability and long-term performance.
Each board is precisely joined using a traditional Tongue & Groove connection, allowing the tongue of one plank to fit seamlessly into the groove of the next. This design maintains perfect alignment, controls vertical movement, and creates a clean, cohesive surface. In spacious rooms, wide planks elevate the sense of grandeur and timeless sophistication.

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.
