The journey so far
Starting in Australia as Select Timbers, the company began as a specialist timber business and has grown into a trusted name in engineered timber flooring and surfaces.
In 2010, the business expanded through a partnership with Havwoods in the UK, bringing together global sourcing capability with local expertise and on-the-ground support.
Today, Havwoods works across residential and commercial projects around the world.
A key part of that story is the people behind it, with the original family still at the helm of the business and a team with deep experience and passion, every project is treated with the utmost care.
Why Havwoods
Havwoods is a specialist in engineered timber flooring and surfaces, known for a carefully curated range, consistent quality standards, and long-term partnerships across residential and commercial projects.
Experience that shapes better decisions
Over 50 years of working with architects, designers, builders, and homeowners has given us a deep understanding of how timber performs in real spaces. This informs every recommendation we make across residential and commercial projects from specification to completion.
A curated range, selected with intent
A curated range of 300+ engineered timber products is selected for beauty, performance, and versatility. Each option is chosen to perform in real spaces, balancing design impact with long-term durability across residential and commercial applications and projects globally.
Support built around people and projects
From early specification through to final selection, our team provides detail-led guidance on colour, finish, and format. This is supported by showrooms in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Newcastle, and Rutherford, designed for tactile exploration and confident decision-making.
Responsibly sourced, built to last
Our timber is sourced through suppliers who meet strict standards for responsible forestry, ethical practice, and supply chain transparency, supported by recognised certification. Selected products are also backed by warranty for added specification confidence.
Every product we offer goes through a process of selection, testing, and support with long-term performance in mind.
1. Selected with intent
Our products are chosen for their suitability in real spaces, not just for how they look. We consider construction type, surface finish, application, stability, durability and the way each product will perform over time.
2. Assessed at the source
Our team works closely with manufacturing partners around the world. Together, we review production processes, quality control procedures, supplier standards, and manufacturing capability before products are approved for the Havwoods range.
3. Tested for performance
We assess key technical factors including dimensional stability, construction quality, coating performance, surface finish, and relevant certifications or testing requirements. This helps ensure each product meets the standards expected for long-term use.
4. Checked for consistency
Through internal quality checks, sample reviews, and ongoing supplier monitoring, we work to maintain reliable standards across products, finishes, and manufacturing partners.
5. Supported beyond selection
With site inspection, installation knowledge, warranty assessment capability, and feedback from real projects, our team provides guidance to help timber perform as intended long after delivery.

2. Touch
Handle samples and understand texture, movement and surface feel.
