## How Timbo works in your city

Timbo sells only to the trade: flooring retailers, showrooms, installers, builders, developers, designers and architects. Those **Timbo partners** sell, supply and install the floors for homeowners. Every order ships from one place, the Timbo warehouse in Altona North, Melbourne, with freight quoted per order to wherever the job is.

That means the experience is the same whether your floor is in Fitzroy or Frankton:

1. **Find a partner.** In Melbourne, choose from the [listed Timbo partners](https://timbo.com.au/partners/find-a-partner). Elsewhere, email partnerships@timbo.com.au and Timbo will connect you.
2. **See the oak.** Your partner can request [free samples](https://timbo.com.au/samples) of the herringbone, chevron or pattern parquet you're considering.
3. **Get a quote.** The partner measures, quotes supply and installation, and orders from Timbo.
4. **Delivery and install.** Timbo freights to the partner or site; the partner acclimatises and installs the floor.

## Why every city page is different

Prime grade European oak behaves the same in every warehouse, but not in every house. Each city guide below covers what actually changes from place to place:

| What changes | Why it matters for solid oak |
| --- | --- |
| Climate and humidity | Oak takes up and releases moisture until it matches the room. Humid Brisbane and dry Perth summers need different acclimatisation plans. |
| Housing stock and subfloors | Timber subfloors on stumps, concrete slabs and apartment slabs each need a different installation method. |
| Local rules | Strata acoustic by-laws, bushfire attack level (BAL) areas and NZ building consent can all affect the job. |
| Partner availability | Melbourne has listed partners today; other cities are being appointed now. |
