View Full Version : Flooring profile - offset on T&G

Hi all,

I'm trying to find some flooring to match existing boards.
They are old 80x19 brushbox from the 70s, however I've only been able boards this size locally with an offset tongue and groove which I assume is for secret nailing.
The profile of the t&g on the existing boards is not offset. Can anyone advise where I might be able to source boards like these with a standard t&g profile in Brisbane ?

Many thanks,
Blair

G'day.

No-one that I know of is machining topnail profile for 80mm T&G anymore.
We are all doing secret nail profile as that is what the market demands.

You may be able to get a timber yard to do a special run for you, but sourcing BBX will be a problem and the cost will probably be prohibitive.

Blair,
You might have luck with one of the demolition supplies places in Brissy. We have one in Toowoomba but there is no guarantee what they have or what they may get in so it is pot luck.
