If you’re choosing flooring at pre-start, there’s a good chance the builder’s package is the only option on the table so far. Before you sign off on it, it’s worth knowing what sits above it; and Coswick is about as high as engineered timber goes.
What engineered timber actually is
Engineered timber isn’t a compromise product and it isn’t laminate, whatever the label might say elsewhere. It’s a board built from layers, with a solid, real-timber wear layer on top. This is the part your foot actually touches and the part that gets sanded, oiled or refinished over the years. The thickness of that top layer is what separates a genuine investment floor from something wearing a timber photograph.
Coswick’s boards carry a 4mm timber wear layer. That’s substantial. A thicker wear layer means more scope for the floor to be lightly sanded and refinished down the track, more resistance to everyday wear, and a surface that reads and feels like solid timber underfoot, because it is.
Why Coswick sits at the top of the category
Coswick is designed and made in Europe, with a fully integrated manufacturing process that runs from saw log through to the finished board with one business controlling the whole journey, rather than components sourced from different suppliers and assembled at the end. That control shows up in consistency, board to board and pack to pack.
The company has specialised in engineered timber for 25 years, and its flooring has been used on high-profile projects including the Ritz Carlton in New York. That’s the calibre of floor going into a category that also includes far less serious products.
A typical Coswick board runs 2100 x 190 x 19mm, with the 4mm wear layer, Grade 1 timber, tongue-and-groove joints, and a silk oil finish, at 1.86m² per pack. Grade 1 means you’re getting a clean, considered look, the timber is graded rather than random offcuts pressed into service.
Why this matters for a Perth new build
Coswick isn’t something you’ll find at a generalist flooring outlet or a builder’s standard package. Titan is the exclusive WA supplier, and we keep 14 colour options in stock locally for quick turnaround. There is no waiting on container shipments from Europe once you’ve made your decision. For a build timeline, that’s the difference between a floor going in on schedule and a floor holding everything else up.
It also means you’re not choosing blind from a brochure. You can see and feel the actual boards, side by side, before you commit.
Why choose Coswick over the builder’s standard include
A builder’s flooring package is built around margin and turnaround, not around what suits your home. Coswick gives you a genuine engineered timber option with real depth of wear layer, a manufacturer with a quarter-century of specialism behind it, and a look that’s been chosen for some of the world’s most demanding commercial interiors. It’s a floor you’ll still be happy with in fifteen years, not just on settlement day.
See it, feel it, take it home
The best way to choose between these colours is in person, against your cabinetry and lighting samples, not on a screen. Drop into our Engineered Timber showroom in Osborne Park to see the full Coswick range stocked locally, and talk to the team about your build. Titan installs from Two Rocks to Mandurah and supplies right through the South-West, so wherever your block is, we can get Coswick underfoot.
