Absolute rubbish! [Content Removed] artists – I’m annoyed I have to give 1 star. bought iconic hybrid onyx 7.5mm thickness for my home after our tenants trashed our home. Imagine ripping up animal infested premium carpet to putting down absolute rubbish floorboards that scratch when you breathe and you paid with a kidney for it. I should have known when the demo had scratches everywhere on it. These floor boards have to be the cheapest softest material I’ve ever come across. Your nail will put a deep scratch in them and all the scratches are white and noticeable. Within 2 days we had some deep and noticeable white scratches from doing absolutely nothing. Our vacuum cleaner head that had no debris underneath left a deep scratch that was a metre long. We moved a cardboard box again with no debris underneath it and it scratched deep. We have been baffled as to how a company can have the audacity to even sell this rubbish. We got the supplier out straight away and he basically made every excuse under the sun and said it looked like a bad batch and that his boss would only replace the damaged planks. I said thy if its a bad batch then the whole flooring would need replacing. He was also was shocked at the damage and said it didn’t look right, and he would get back to me within the week. 4 weeks later I just got an email from the installer forwarding the suppliers email to me saying it’s not covered under the 20 year warranty and he did all these tests and nothing was wrong. So what is covered then? I’m worried for them if this isn’t a bad batch. They’ll have complaints everywhere. Apparently this is a new product, clearly didn’t pass the quality tests. This is how they [Content Removed] you! Offering rubbish 20 year warranty that doesn’t cover anything. We have resulted in telling our children not to play, breathe, or move on our new rubbish floor boards in fear of scratching them. We have stopped living as a result and this will now be going to the department of fair trading for their lack of liability and responsibility. If you want a good floor board, this is definitely not it! Soft and rubbish but expensive and looks good (before you have white deep scratches everywhere ) company is horrible to deal with and won’t take responsibility and refuse liability. These are meant to be scratch resistant and should be taken off the market. Ripping off the consumer and providing rubbish as a product.
So basically you’re blaming the consumer for your floorboards being poor quality. We never did anything extreme for them to be scratched. Minor shouldn’t scratch floorboards !! It’s your quality not your consumer.
Poor consistency – We purchased the Sauvignon Engineered Timber floors. We really liked how thick and sturdy they were, and the colour of the samples in the showroom. But we’re very disappointed in the colour variation of the final product. Also seemed to scratch very easily - many boards got scratched just from getting them out of the box. See photos of the display vs what we recieved and the scratches.

Hello Maree, we have noted your response and we believe you have already taken up this matter directly with the reseller involved.
On the issue related to colour variation, as you are aware you have selected a natural timber floor that will display the normal characteristics of grade, colour and batch variations that help create the unique charm and beauty of natural timber flooring.
We extensively educate our resellers and provide labelling on all sampling to indicate that small store samples or a colour swatch will only provide a small visual indication of the planks and that natural variation will occur. From the images supplied to the store the natural plank variation appears consisitent with the colour selected. We also note in our instructions and our warranty that the product should not be installed if the product supplied appears out of specification, at this point the reseller can then inspect and review the concerns you may have.
We hope this explains the natural colour variation and should you have any further concerns the reseller involved is in a position to follow up on this explanation.

Phenomenal – We use these products daily and we and our clients love the outcome every time. Couldn't recommend the range highly enough. They have a vast range from laminates to great engineered flooring.

Great customer service and product – Fantastic range. Resolution driven supplier. Nothing was problematic. Keep up the great work. Answered all my questions and have used them again. If it's engineered flooring you are after this is the place to visit.

Thank you Matthew, always great for the team to receive the positive support. Appreciate you making time to post the review.

Defective product, with faulty locking mechanism – The engineered timber product we purchased - at great expense - had a serious manufacturing defect evident as soon as the floor was installed. The defect is that the locking mechanism is faulty. The boards are supposed to click together tightly, but the these end joints are loose, leaving small but unsightly gaps everywhere. Hoping that Preference honours the warranty, so we don't end up needing to take it to VCAT.
