The Signature approach.
Wood flooring done right lasts a generation. Signature supplies and installs solid hardwood, engineered timber and premium laminate flooring across Harare, Bulawayo, Gweru and estate developments countrywide.
Solid hardwood in European oak, iroko, teak or merbau is our specialism for premium residential and hospitality projects — pre-finished or sanded and sealed on site to your chosen stain and sheen level. Engineered timber is our recommendation where underfloor heating is in play, or where wide-plank formats over 240mm are required.
Sub-floor preparation is where most floor failures originate. We test moisture, level the substrate with self-levelling compounds where required, and install acoustic and moisture barriers to the manufacturer's spec. That is what stands behind the warranty at the end of the job.
Refurbishment of existing solid hardwood — sanding, staining, re-sealing — is often better value than replacement. We assess the wear layer and recommend the honest option, not the biggest ticket.
Built to a spec, not to a price.
Manufacturer-warranty install
Every install respects the manufacturer's spec — acclimatisation, sub-floor moisture, expansion gaps — so the warranty stands.
Sub-floor honesty
We call out defective substrates upfront and price the remedial work. No covering problems in and hoping.
Product range
Solid hardwood, engineered timber, SPC and LVT — matched to the room's traffic, moisture and aesthetic brief.
Precision cutting
Skilled installers with mitre and multi-tool experience — around service pipes, fireplaces, staircases and cabinetry.
Refurbishment specialists
Sanding, staining and re-sealing of existing hardwood floors — a service that outlasts most 'replace it' quotes.
Site-clean workmanship
Dust-extraction sanders, protective run-off floors and site vacuuming — you shouldn't spend a week cleaning after we leave.
From consult to handover.
Site inspection
Moisture readings, sub-floor flatness assessment, and identification of existing coverings and their bonding condition.
Substrate preparation
Levelling compounds, moisture barriers, acoustic underlays and, where required, floor grinding — everything the manufacturer's warranty depends on.
Material acclimatisation
Wood and premium vinyl products acclimatise on-site for 48–72 hours before installation. A crucial step most contractors skip.
Installation
Glue-down or click-lock installation to manufacturer spec, with cut lines and expansion gaps set to the room's proportions.
Skirting & trims
New or refitted skirting, threshold strips, expansion covers and staircase nosings, all colour-matched to the floor.
Sanding, sealing & handover
For solid timber — sanding, staining and multi-coat sealing. For factory-finished floors — protective post-install film and a care manual.
What we work with.
Materials are specified for service life, not initial capital cost. Every quote lists brands, grades and quantities so you can see exactly what your project is built from.
Solid hardwood
European oak, iroko, teak and merbau in 18–22mm thicknesses, tongue-and-groove or click-jointed, unfinished or pre-finished.
Engineered timber
3mm+ hardwood wear layer over ply substrates. Dimensionally stable, suitable for underfloor heating, and available in wide-plank formats.
Luxury vinyl (LVT)
Glue-down or click-lock LVT with 0.3–0.7mm wear layers — realistic wood and stone visuals, quiet underfoot.
SPC rigid core
Stone Polymer Composite planks — 100% waterproof, dent resistant, ideal for kitchens, bathrooms and commercial retail.
Underlays & barriers
IXPE and cork acoustic underlays, DPM moisture barriers, and PU adhesives for permanent glue-down installations.
Finishes
Hard-wax oils, polyurethane sealers and factory-applied UV-cured coatings — matched to traffic level and desired sheen.
The difference a spec makes.
A selection of transformation projects across Zimbabwe — from tired estate frontages to full showroom rebuilds.

Honest ranges, not guesses.
Flooring cost varies heavily with product tier. The following ranges are supply-and-install for a typical suburban residential room with reasonable access.
Solid hardwood
Supply and install, unfinished then sanded, stained and sealed.
Engineered timber
Pre-finished European oak in wide plank formats.
SPC rigid core
Click-lock waterproof plank in wood or stone visuals.
Luxury vinyl (LVT)
Glue-down commercial-grade LVT with 0.55mm+ wear layer.
Cost factors
- ◆Product tier and thickness of wear layer
- ◆Sub-floor preparation and levelling required
- ◆Room complexity, cuts and skirting work
- ◆Whether existing floor coverings must be lifted and disposed of
- ◆Site access — high-rise buildings, weekend-only works, occupied spaces
Where the sub-floor is compromised — cracks, damp, unevenness — we recommend the remedial work upfront. Skipping it voids the manufacturer's warranty and shortens the floor's life by years.
Built to last, cared for to prove it.
Wood floors
Dust mop weekly, damp mop with a wood-safe cleaner monthly, and refresh with a hard-wax oil coat every 3–5 years depending on wear.
SPC & LVT
Sweep, damp mop, avoid soaking. Any spill wipes off — the surface is impervious. No re-coating required.
Furniture protection
Felt pads on chairs, larger area rugs at entrances and a strict no-stiletto policy on solid timber for maximum aesthetic life.
Refurbishment cycle
Solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished multiple times. Engineered timber can typically be refinished once or twice.
