In this episode of All Things Wood Floor, host Stephen Diggins talks with Troy Stanfield of Plankd Flooring in Mount Baker, South Australia. Stanfield takes listeners through his journey from furniture restoration to award-winning "timber" floors, sharing how his boutique, quality-first approach built a strong reputation and unique niche in Australia’s timber flooring trade.
Stanfield recounts memorable jobs—from a scissor lift that destroyed century-old jarrah parquet to falling asleep while sanding to plasterers stomping their way through a Baltic pine while dancing Irish jigs—and closes with practical lessons on scheduling, saying no, inventory management and mentoring the next generation of floor pros.
