About Blue Gum HydroPro Water-Resistant Aussie Timbers

The HydroPro Blue Gum engineered timber floor features a select layer of Australian Blue Gum timber and an innovative 100% water-proof and highly stable core. Blue Gum timber is a reddish-pink hardwood species that grows beyond 60 metres in vertical height along the coast of NSW and QLD. Blue Gum timber is one of Australia’s most popular and durable timbers, and the HydroPro Blue Gum floor is complemented by a 100% waterproof core, 8 layers of UV-protected surface coating and a patented Valinge click-lock system.

About HydroPro Timber

Everfloor’s HydroPro Timber engineered flooring range is the pioneer of water-resistant real timber flooring in Australia. HydroPro Timber flooring features a fine layer of authentic Australian timber combined with a robust and stable 100% waterproof core. The revolutionary core is highly dense (1.9 – 2.0g/cm3) and the waterproof core provides greater stability with moisture level fluctuations. Beneath the core is an adaptive backing layer which balances the foot pressure, reducing the strain on the click-lock system and further improving it’s dimensional stability.

How to DIY This Floor?

The easiest DIY floors are floating floors like this one! They click lock together and don’t need glue or nails - they're super easy to install and if you make a mistake, you can simply un-click them and redo it. Floating floors include laminate floors, hybrid floors, bamboo floors and even engineered timber (if you are after real wood).

What tools do I need to DIY this type of floor?

The most important tools are:

  • Drop Saw and / or Table Saw - to cut the floorboards and are available for $150 at most hardware stores, or you can borrow one.
  • Ruler or Set Square - to measure how much you need to cut for the end planks near the walls.
  • Pencil & Eraser - to draw the cutting lines when you reach the last planks of each row.

Other “nice-to-haves” include a DIY Flooring Kit (available at Floor venue), spirit levels, tape measures, safety equipment, and work gloves.

Pro installation tips

  • Floor Levelling - the subfloor refers to what you intend to lay the flooring directly over and is often concrete slabs, plywood, yellow tongue or even existing floorboards. Proper subfloor preparation is very important and you should:
    • Clean the subfloor
    • Check subfloor evenness (to prevent creaking and long-term joint damage)
  • Underlay - is typically a soft rubber or foam material that goes underneath the floor and provides noise protection. If you live in an apartment block, your strata may have acoustic underlay requirements that you must confirm before a project.
  • Expansion Gaps - between the floor and the walls to allow for natural expansion and shrinkage due to temperature and moisture changes. Consider:
    • Plank Width - wider planks have more expansion and should be given a slightly bigger expansion gap within the range below.
    • Environmental Moisture - if relative humidity is high, we recommend increasing the expansion gap size.

HydroPro Timber Engineered Hardwood Flooring Flooring FAQs

HydroPro Timber is the pinnacle of flooring technology – the only certified waterproof engineered timber flooring in the market. The secret? HydroPro Timber uses a limestone based core instead of a plywood core, which is 100% water proof and offers superior dimensional stability against warping which other types of flooring cannot overcome. These are designed to be laid throughout the entire home or office save the bathroom, as they are coated with 8 layers of world class water resistant UV lacquer and waterproof. HydroPro’s click-lock system allows you to bring them into apartments and units with a simple and quiet installation process.

HydroPro Timber is very easy to clean as they are virtually waterproof and have a very durable surface. Broom, mop or vacuum! In saying this, avoid using abrasive products or unnecessary chemical cleaning agents. Steam mops are not advisable, although HydroPro Timber can bear the temperature as long as you keep the steam mop moving rather than concentrating it in one place.

HydroPro Timber is the pinnacle of flooring technology, in fact the first and only product to bring waterproofing to timber flooring. HydroPro Timber is the next generation of engineered flooring which combines the best properties of hybrid flooring and solid timber. Built to last decades, HydroPro Timber is a premium product which has proven to have incredible durability which is reflected by it’s 30 year structural warranty.
