Hello roxy! Just a passerby but I saw your sydney comic from a reblog of a friend and I have to say your comic art is wonderful! I want to ask, how do you draw/create the background (building, interior design of the church, etc.) in the comic?

Hello! First of all, I drew the backgrounds myself except for the church! In the case of church, I purchased a 3D modeling and captured it according to the desired angles. I tried the line painting extraction function, but it didn't match my drawing, so I drew it on top of it with a brush I used. Since I'm almost non-religious, I lacked knowledge of Catholic religion and the structure of the church, and when I used photographs as data, it was difficult to find out the size of the chapel and detailed props. T.T Actually, this was why I worried about 'Should I go to the cathedral with my acquaintance?' But there were only very small churches near my house. In the case of other backgrounds, I prepared several pictures to use as data, selected the most appropriate picture, and then looked at them and drew them according to the composition I wanted!

25 Avro Lancaster Facts | Classic Warbirds

Roy Chadwick was born on the 30th April 1893 in Farnworth, Lancashire and joined Avro in September 1911 as a draughtsman at the age of 18. He would become the company's chief designer seven years later in 1918. A number of aircraft designed by Roy Chadwick would be used during the Second World War, such as the Avro Anson, but it is the Avro Lancaster which is perhaps the most well known. At the age of 54 Roy Chadwick died when the Avro Tudor prototype he was on crashed on take-off on the 23rd August 1947.

Derived from the Avro Manchester

The twin-engined Avro Manchester suffered mainly due to its Rolls-Royce Vulture engines, which were unreliable and unable to reach their optimal performance. So before the aircraft had performed its first operational sortie, the 4th November 1940 saw Avro given the green light to work on what was known as the Manchester Mk III by the Air Ministry. This would have a wingspan 10 ft 2 in longer than the Manchester and was powered by four Rolls-Royce Merlins. It was this aircraft that would be developed into the Lancaster.

10,500 Individual Drawings

During the production of the Lancaster around 10,500 individual drawings were needed and each aircraft required approximately 10 tonnes of light aluminium alloy.

Cost of a Lancaster

On average a Lancaster, minus its armament, bomb sight, radio and radar equipment, cost, at the time, £59,000, which included its four engines.

Crew of Seven

The Lancaster typically had a crew of seven, made up of pilot, bomb-aimer, flight engineer, navigator, wireless operator, mid gunner and rear gunner.

First Flight

The first Lancaster prototype (BT308) flew on the 9th January 1941 from Ringway Airport. Captain Harry Brown and Sydney Thorn were at the controls. This featured an increased wingspan over the Manchester and a central fin on the tail, which was removed on the second prototype.

Entry into Service

It would be with No. 44 Squadron, based at RAF Waddington that the Lancaster would first enter Royal Air Force service, when they took delivery of their first three aircraft on the 24th December 1941. These would replace their twin-engined Handley Page Hampdens.

First Operational Sortie

No. 44 Squadron would perform the Lancaster's first operational sortie, which took place on the 3rd March 1942. This saw four aircraft lay mines in the Heligoland Bight.

Bristol Hercules Powered Lancaster B.II

Of the Lancaster variants produced all would be powered by either Rolls-Royce or Packard Merlins, the exception was the Lancaster B.II, which was powered by the 1,735-hp Bristol Hercules XVI engine. It was 10 mph slower than the Merlin powered Lancasters, with a top speed of 205 mph, its service ceiling was 18,500 ft, which was 6,000 ft lower. Only 301 Lancaster B.IIs were built.

Basis for the Avro York

Another Roy Chadwick design, the Avro York was a transport aircraft that featured the wings, tail and landing gear of the Lancaster, fitted to a new fuselage. The aircraft would be used by Transport Command and the British Overseas Airways Corporation.

Flew Under Sydney Harbour Bridge

During 1943 Lancaster B.III (ED930) Q for Queenie embarked on a promotional tour of Australia to sell war savings bonds. With Flight Lieutenant Peter Isaacson at the controls, the 22nd October 1943 saw hm fly the aircraft under Sydney Harbour Bridge.

'Clapper Kites'

Some Lancaster B.Is would have their front and mid-upper turrets removed and some interior items removed. Powered by Rolls-Royce Merlin 24 engines, they were renamed to Lancaster B.I (Special). Due to their high speed without a bomb load they were nicknamed 'Clapper Kites'.

Lancaster Test Beds

A number of Lancasters would be used as test beds or for research, this included Lancaster B.II (LL735) which was used to test the Metropolitan-Vickers F2 turbojet. Fitted towards the rear of the fuselage, with the exhaust where the rear turret would've been.

Very Long Range Lancaster

To increase the range of the aircraft, for potential operations in the Pacific, a pair of Lancaster B.Is (HK541) and (SW244) would have a 'saddle tank' installed. This was fitted behind the cockpit and extended down past the wings, increasing fuel capacity by 50%.

Operation Exodus

Beginning on the 3rd April 1945 until the 31st May 1945, Operation Exodus saw many prisoners of war flown home by a number of aircraft, including the Lancaster, which with modifications could transport 20 to 24 people.

Lancaster B.I of the Royal Air Force Battle of Britain Memorial Flight

Equipped at least 59 Squadrons

During its service in the Second World War the Lancaster would equip at least 59 frontline Bomber Command squadrons.

Lancaster Users

As well as the Royal Air Force a number of other countries used the Lancaster, including the Royal Australian Air Force, Royal Canadian Air Force and Royal New Zealand Air Force.

Ten Victoria Cross Winners

Ten Lancaster aircrew would be awarded the Victoria Cross during the Second World War. The first was awarded to Squadron Leader John Nettleton as a result of his actions with No. 44 Squadron flying Lancaster B.I (R5508) during a daylight attack on Augsburg, Germany on the 17th April 1942 (read the citation). With Captain Edwin Swales DFC of No. 582 Squadron the last, after being posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions flying Lancaster B.III (PB538) when acting as a Master Bomber when Pforzheim, Germany was raided on the 23rd February 1945 (read the citation).

Total Built

In total 7,377 Lancasters were built during its production run between 1941 and 1946. The last example, a Lancaster B.I, was built on the 2nd February 1946. A number of companies apart from Avro were also involved in the production of the aircraft, including Austin Motors Limited and Victory Aircraft Limited based in Canada.

Ton Up Lancs

On average the number of operational sorties flown by a Lancaster was 21. However, 35 aircraft would take part in 100 sorties or more during the Second World War. One of these was Lancaster B.I (R5868) S for Sugar which completed 137 sorties whilst with No. 83 Squadron and No. 467 Squadron, Royal Australian Air Force. May 1944 saw it reach the 100 sortie milestone, with a raid on Flensburg Harbour, Germany on the 23rd April 1945 seeing the aircraft performing its last operational sortie. This aircraft is on display at the Royal Air Force Museum, London.

'Tiger Force'

After the war in Europe ended on the 8th May 1945, it was intended to send a number of Lancaster squadrons to the Pacific. This would be known as the 'Tiger Force' and was to attack targets in Japan in the lead up to invasion, known as Operation Downfall. However, Japan surrendered before the force could be fully established.

Goodwill Tour

No. 35 Squadron were chosen to undertake a five week goodwill tour of the United States during July and August 1946. They would visit a number of airfields in the country.

Developed into the Avro Lincoln

As development of the Lancaster continued, a high altitude version featuring an increased wingspan and fuselage was produced, known as the Lancaster B.IV. However, with so many changes it was renamed the Avro Lincoln I, with the Lancaster B.V known as the Lincoln II.

Avro Lancastrian

The Lancastrian was a civil version of the Lancaster able to carry a small number of passengers and mail. Early Lancastrians were converted Lancasters with later aircraft built as Lancastrians from the start. Changes to the aircraft included the removal of its armament and armour. It would be used by a number of airlines, including British Overseas Airways Corporation.

15 Years Service with the Royal Air Force

The Lancaster's time with the Royal Air Force came to an end on the 15th October 1956 when the School of Maritime Reconnaissance retired their Lancaster MR 3, ending 15 years service with the RAF.

Sydney Trains K set

Class of electric train operating in Sydney, Australia

The Sydney Trains K sets are a class of electric multiple units that currently operate on the Sydney Trains network. Built by A Goninan & Co, the K sets first entered service in 1981 operating under the State Rail Authority, and later CityRail. The carriages are of stainless steel, double deck construction and share much of their design with the older S sets. All of the 40 K sets originally built (160 carriages) remain in service and are currently the oldest in the Sydney Trains fleet.

A K set in its original State Rail Authority livery in the 1980s. Some sets were originally classified as R sets.

The first order featured low mounted upper deck windows, off-white and sagebrush grey interiors, and unpainted fronts. The second order featured higher mounted upper deck windows, yellow and mustard interiors and State Rail Authority candy livery fronts. The first four trailers were built as driving trailers allowing them to operate in two-car formation, although in practice they were formed into four carriage sets and often ran together as one eight-car set until 1988. These also differed in the subsequent deliveries in being fitted with air conditioning from new, rather than pressure ventilation. To provide a spare, C3550 & T4216 were also built with air conditioning. All ten carriages were fitted with different windows, being sheet glass with small opening hoppers. This was replaced with sheet glass in 1993.

To accommodate the air conditioning and associated equipment, the pantograph had to be shifted to the adjacent trailer car to which the power car is semi-permanently coupled with high voltage cables connecting the two cars. Although some power cars and trailers have been broken up and married with others during periods of heavy maintenance, many original combinations remain.

The control carriages have a flat front, with headlights at the top. They were built with four sets of marker lights, standard at the time. Different combinations of white marker lights were used to indicate different destinations. Flip-dot destination displays were installed later on, which covered the upper middle marker light. Since destination displays have been installed, marker light combinations are no longer necessary, so usually only the two upper marker lights are used. However, some trains still retain the switch for the lower marker light. The front of the train also has an emergency door for the guard compartment and windscreen wipers for the driver window only. Hoses and receptacles are provided below the windows to connect another set, since, unlike newer trains, the coupler does not carry electrical or air connections.

Like other trains of the time, the crew compartment contains a smaller compartment for the driver on the left side (in direction of travel). The guard uses the area outside of the driver's compartment, with two manual hinged doors on either side providing access to platforms. Above these doors, on the outside are blue lights indicating which compartment the guard is in.

Each vestibule has two-panel sliding doors on either side. Each door also has a vent underneath the window, which was covered when air-conditioning was installed. The doors cannot detect obstacles and continue pushing against the obstruction until it is removed or the guard reopens the doors. Small orange LEDs are located above the doors on the outside that flash when the doors are closing. They assist the guard in locating doors that haven't closed successfully. All trains were retrofitted with traction interlocking, meaning the driver cannot apply power when the doors are open.

In service

All K sets are crewed with a driver and guard. The guard uses the rear cab on a two or four-car train. On eight car trains, the guard usually uses the 5th carriage so that the entire platform can be seen. However the 4th carriage cab can also be used if there is a problem with the 5th carriage one.

All the K sets were delivered to either Hornsby or Punchbowl depots. With the trials on the ten experimental carriages judged successful, in 1986 a programme commenced to retrofit air conditioning to the second order. This saw the Beclawat windows replaced with sheet glass. It would be July 1990 before the programme was completed.

In April 1989, K sets commenced operating peak-hour services via the North Shore line to Gosford. This was extended to Wyong in January 1992. In September 1990, all Punchbowl based sets were transferred to Hornsby.

In January 1991, four sets were transferred to Flemington Maintenance Depot to operate peak-hour Illawarra line services to Port Kembla.

To replace U sets on stopping services between Gosford and Newcastle, the sets with driving trailers were re-marshaled as two-car sets from October 1996.

Following the delivery of the outer suburban Tangara sets in 1994, the K sets ceased operating the Central Coast and Illawarra services.

Upper deck after the CityDecker refurbishment of the 1990s.

During the late 1990s, all were refurbished by A Goninan & Co as part of the CityDecker program. This saw the interiors refurbished with white walls and ceilings, grey floors and blue seats. Power cars received a destination indicator and had yellow applied to the lower half of their fronts. Sliding Beclawat windows on the pressure ventilated cars were replaced with hopper windows and doors painted yellow. The first order was finally retrofitted with air conditioning just prior to the Sydney 2000 Olympics. These cars retained the hopper windows until the late 2000s, but were sealed shut with an adhesive to avoid the loss of air conditioning.

After the introduction of a new timetable in October 2009, all K sets were allocated to Hornsby to operate North Shore, Northern & Western line services, operating in 8-car formations. This was due to the noise levels inside trains when operating on the Epping to Chatswood segment. Older S sets lack sufficient sound insulation for passengers, while newer Tangara sets don't have sufficient cooling in the dynamic braking system to deal with extended shuttle runs through the tunnel.

In mid-2014, K sets are gradually transferred from Hornsby to Flemington resulting in their resumption of service on the Airport, Inner West & South, Bankstown, Carlingford and Olympic Park lines. K60 to K86 were previously running these lines, based out of Flemington Depot. Prior to 2017, K87–99 continued to run part-time on the T1 North Shore, Northern & Western lines.

In October 2013, the 2 car K Sets (K1–4) were withdrawn from NSW TrainLink Gosford to Newcastle services. The four driving trailers were converted to ordinary trailers at Hornsby and the sets returned to service on Sydney Trains services in March 2014 as K98 and K99. The existing K98 was re-numbered K91. The driver cabins in these carriages were stripped of controls however the actual walls were kept intact. The doors to the driver cabin are kept locked and the blinds are kept down. There are no passenger seats where the crew compartment used to be. Also, unlike converted S set cars, the round window on the crew compartment doors were removed and covered with a metal plate.

In July 2017, asbestos was found in the circuit breaker panels, which is inside the driver compartment of the K sets, with all withdrawn for inspection for a few weeks. All have since returned to service.

After the introduction of a new timetable in November 2017, all K sets were transferred to Sector 2.

In late 2017 and early 2018, all K sets and C sets were slightly refurbished with all poles and other safety features repainted yellow.

In 2019, set K96 was withdrawn from passenger service and had Automatic Train Protection (ATP) equipment installed. It has conducted ATP testing since then and will be retained following the retirement of the rest of the fleet for this purpose.

K sets operate on the following lines:

T2 Inner West & Leppington Line: Leppington or Parramatta to City Circle via Granville

T3 Bankstown Line: Liverpool or Lidcombe to City Circle via Bankstown

T8 Airport and South Line: Macarthur to City Circle via Airport or Sydenham

They were formerly in operation on the T6 Carlingford line until it was closed in January 2020.

Preservation

While at the moment there are no developed plans for the preservation of any K set cars, Sydney Electric Train Society has expressed interest in preserving at least one. K96 will likely be retained for the purposes of ATP testing after the K sets are withdrawn from revenue service.

Several heritage tours have used K sets prior to retirement, these have been:

— bio ♡

Audrey was born the last child, she wasn't expected at her mothers age but she wasn't a surprise either because her parents had always talked about having a little girl one day and when Audrey was born, she was everything her parents imagined her to be. As she got older her mother put her in dance classes to wear off her energy but didn't realize she was going to be top of her class in it and would go on to win state and regional championships. All through out high school she was classified as a 'do it all' girl, she was captain of her swim team, cheerleading team, dance team and prom queen.

As she got older however, her brothers pulled away from her, seeing her as the apple of her parents eye seeing as they handed her everything she ever asked for in life. However, the youngest of her brothers remained close to her that was until her parents filed for divorce after her mother had cheated with her fathers best friend. Audrey was fifteen when she and her mother moved to Fairford, her father seeing it be best he raised the boys but however still made sure his daughter had everything she'd need but the mother getting nothing which gave Audrey's mother a bad taste in her mouth towards her daughter.

After High School Audrey went immediately off to college to get her business and financial degree, that was when she met a slightly older man, not by many years but still enough to catch Audrey's eye. She got pregnant with her son at twenty-one years old, the man had decided his career gain was more important so Audrey gave birth to her son, alone. She had been a single mother and still graduated with honors at the top of her class in both areas of her degree. A few years passed, she was out one night and had met the same man that had left her years earlier, had a one night stand and had become pregnant again with the same man's child, she gave birth to her daughter three months ago and while she was pregnant opened her own cookie shop and bought her own house in the suburbs. Both of which her dad helped her out with, giving her lavish gifts and spoiling his grandchildren is the way her dad makes up for sending her off when she was just a teenager.

How To Bring Personality To Your Home With Interior Design

You've probably heard the phrase "home is where the heart is," but what if your heart is missing? A lot of us end up living in houses that aren't really who we are — they're just practical. It's time to bring personality back! With a few simple changes to an interior, you can give your home its own unique flair and make it feel like your very own with the help of Interior Design Companies in Sydney. Here are some easy ways to get started:

Update Your Wall Color

Now that you have a better idea of what kind of personality you want to project in your home, it's time to update the walls. Paint is one of the easiest ways to make an impact on the look and feel of any room in your house. Keep these things in mind:

Choose a neutral color for the walls--a warm gray or beige will complement most furniture styles and reflect light well, making it an ideal choice for spaces where there isn't much natural light. If you have more than one person living with you (or even if you're just looking for extra privacy), consider painting an accent wall with a bolder hue like red or purple--these colors can add warmth without drawing too much attention away from other aspects of decorating like artwork or rugs! Just remember that this kind of bold statement piece may require some maintenance down the line...and don't forget about upkeep costs when budgeting!

Consider how easy maintenance would be after purchasing new furniture pieces; while many types will require professional care (like leather upholstery), others won't need any special treatment beyond dusting off every so often (wooden frames). This is especially important if caring for kids around these items becomes necessary later on down life's journey - especially since many parents aren't able to find babysitters willing enough.

Invest In Statement-Making Art

If you're a fan of art, but not ready to invest in a painting or sculpture just yet, consider other ways you can bring personality to your home with interior design. For example, if you want to make a statement about your love for architecture and design (and who doesn't?), consider hanging up some architectural blueprints in the living room. Or if you want everyone who walks through your front door to know how much travel means to you--from faraway places and even closer ones like the beach down the street--hang up photos from all over the world that reflect your interests and experiences.

Refresh Your Furniture

If your furniture is starting to look a little worn, don't despair. It's easy to update your home with new pieces that will bring personality and life back into the space.

When choosing new furniture, keep in mind that neutral colors tend to be more versatile than bold ones. If you want an accent color or pattern on your walls or pillows, try using it sparingly so as not to overwhelm your room.

Mixing styles can also help make a room feel more interesting--just make sure they go together! For example: if you have a modern couch but want something more traditional for the coffee table in front of it (like an oval glass top), consider adding some fun geometric patterned pillows instead of going all-out with another piece of furniture that could clash with everything else in the room.

The Ultimate Guide To Choosing The Right Timber Flooring In Sydney: For Your Home

When it comes to enhancing the aesthetic and functionality of your home, few flooring options can compete with timber. Offering a timeless look, incredible durability, and a range of style options, timber flooring in Sydney is a popular choice for homeowners looking to elevate their interiors. Whether you're building a new home, renovating an existing space, or upgrading your floors, this guide will help you navigate the world of timber flooring, offering valuable insights on types, benefits, and where to find the best options in Sydney.

Why Choose Timber Flooring in Sydney?

Timber flooring is known for its beauty and versatility, and it’s easy to see why it remains one of the most popular flooring choices. Here’s why timber flooring is ideal for homes in Sydney:

Natural Beauty: Timber floors bring warmth, texture, and a sense of timeless elegance to any room. The natural grains, rich colors, and unique patterns of timber add a luxurious appeal that can suit any style, from contemporary to rustic.

Durability and Longevity: Timber is known for its strength and durability. High-quality hardwoods like oak, blackbutt, and spotted gum can last for decades with proper care. Unlike carpets or vinyl, timber doesn’t need to be replaced frequently, making it a long-term investment in your home.

Increased Property Value: Timber flooring is a premium feature that can increase your home’s market value. Many buyers view timber floors as a desirable feature, and homes with timber floors tend to sell faster and at higher prices.

Sustainability: Timber is a renewable resource, and many timber flooring options are sourced from sustainable forests. Choosing eco-friendly timber floors ensures you're making a responsible decision for the environment while adding beauty to your home.

Easy Maintenance: Timber floors are relatively easy to maintain. Regular cleaning involves sweeping or vacuuming to remove dirt and dust, and occasional mopping with a damp cloth keeps the floor looking fresh. Unlike carpets, timber doesn’t trap allergens, making it a healthier choice for those with allergies.

Types of Timber Flooring in Sydney

When considering timber flooring for your home, there are a few options to choose from, each with its own unique features. Here’s a breakdown of the most common types of timber flooring in Sydney:

1. Solid Timber Flooring

Solid timber flooring is made from a single piece of wood, and it’s often considered the most authentic form of timber flooring. It provides the natural beauty and durability of hardwood and can be sanded and refinished multiple times throughout its life. Solid timber is ideal for creating a classic and high-end look in your home.

Popular Species: Oak, blackbutt, spotted gum, jarrah, and maple.

Best For: Living rooms, dining areas, bedrooms, and hallways.

Pros: Long lifespan, can be refinished, authentic and natural look.

Cons: Can be more expensive, susceptible to moisture and humidity changes.

2. Engineered Timber Flooring

Engineered timber flooring is made of multiple layers of wood, with a hardwood veneer on top. This design offers greater stability and resistance to temperature and humidity changes compared to solid timber. Engineered timber is often more affordable and easier to install than solid timber.

Best For: Kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas with fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels.

Pros: More stable, cost-effective, suitable for underfloor heating, versatile designs.

Cons: Cannot be sanded and refinished as many times as solid timber.

3. Hybrid Timber Flooring

Hybrid flooring combines the aesthetic appeal of timber with the resilience of other materials, such as vinyl or stone-plastic composite (SPC). It’s an ideal choice for areas that require extra durability, like kitchens, bathrooms, and high-traffic zones. Hybrid floors are water-resistant, making them a great option for homes in Sydney, where humidity can vary.

Best For: Kitchens, bathrooms, and other moisture-prone areas.

Pros: Water-resistant, highly durable, easy to maintain, budget-friendly.

Cons: Limited natural wood appearance, may not have the same premium feel as solid or engineered timber.

4. Bamboo Flooring

Bamboo is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional timber. It’s a fast-growing grass that can be harvested sustainably, making it a highly renewable resource. Bamboo flooring offers the same durability and aesthetic appeal as hardwood but at a more affordable price point. It’s available in a variety of finishes and colors to suit different tastes.

Best For: Living areas, bedrooms, and hallways.

Pros: Sustainable, durable, affordable, hypoallergenic.

Cons: Can be prone to scratches and dents in high-traffic areas, susceptible to moisture if not maintained properly.

Benefits of Timber Flooring in Sydney

Aesthetic Versatility: Timber floors come in a variety of finishes, including matte, satin, gloss, or distressed. Whether you prefer a modern, sleek appearance or a rustic, textured look, there is a timber flooring option to suit your style.

Thermal Comfort: Timber naturally insulates your home, providing a comfortable and warm environment in cooler months. This makes timber flooring an ideal choice for Sydney’s varied climate, where temperature fluctuations can occur.

Hypoallergenic: Timber flooring is naturally resistant to dust, mold, and mildew, making it a great choice for allergy sufferers. Unlike carpets, timber doesn’t trap dust mites or allergens, improving indoor air quality.

Low Environmental Impact: When sourced sustainably, timber is one of the most eco-friendly flooring options. Many timber flooring suppliers in Sydney offer products that are certified by environmental organisations, ensuring that your flooring choice supports responsible forestry practices.

Where to Buy Timber Flooring in Sydney

There are several reputable flooring suppliers and retailers in Sydney where you can find high-quality timber flooring options. Some well-known stores to consider include:

Sydney Timber Flooring: Known for offering premium-quality hardwood and engineered timber flooring, Sydney Timber Flooring offers a variety of wood species to suit different preferences.

Bunnings Warehouse: A popular DIY store, Bunnings carries a wide range of timber flooring, including solid and engineered timber, at competitive prices.

The Timber Flooring Centre: Specialising in timber flooring products and services, this store offers expert advice and a variety of options for your next flooring project.

Timber Flooring Maintenance Tips

To keep your timber floors looking their best, regular maintenance is essential. Here are some easy care tips:

Sweep or Vacuum Regularly: Dirt and dust can scratch the surface of timber flooring, so be sure to sweep or vacuum regularly to keep your floors clean.

Wipe Up Spills Immediately: Timber is sensitive to moisture, so it’s essential to clean up spills right away to prevent warping or staining.

Avoid Excess Water: Use a damp mop, not a soaking wet one, to clean your floors. Too much water can damage the timber and cause it to warp over time.

Polish and Refinish as Needed: Depending on the type of timber you have, you may need to periodically refinish or polish your floors to maintain their shine and protect the finish.

Conclusion

Timber flooring is a beautiful, durable, and sustainable flooring choice for any home in Sydney. With a variety of options to choose from—solid, engineered, hybrid, and bamboo—you can find the perfect timber floor to match your style, budget, and functional needs. Whether you’re upgrading an existing space or starting fresh with a new home, timber floors offer timeless appeal and long-term value that will last for years to come.

Investing in high-quality timber flooring will not only enhance the look of your home but also improve its functionality and increase its value, making it a smart decision for homeowners in Sydney.
