 FLOORING
When building your home or
commercial property there is
nothing that compares to the
lustre and beauty of a timber
floor. If it is a renovation
project you have in mind nothing
opens up a room and adds instant
value to a home like a polished
timber floor.
|
|
The benefits of choosing
a solid timber hardwood
floor are infinite.
Whether building
or renovating your
Domestic or Commercial
property, nothing beats
the warmth and beauty of
a solid traditional
hardwood timber floor.
Even after years of hard
wearing, a simple
re-sand and recoat will
bring your floor back to
its original finish and
because of the depth and
solidity that a
traditional solid timber
floor has to offer, it
can be re-sanded more
times than any pre
finished floor can.19mm
solid strip flooring is
available in three
grades. Grading is
distinguished by
selective gum veins,
spirals, burls, insect
trails and other natural
features that give
timber floors a unique
character, as individual
as a signature. Timber
Flooring is not graded
for colour variation or
grain patterns as they
form part of the natural
beauty of timber
flooring.
Select
The select grade denotes a minimal
degree of natural feature in the boards
and is carefully graded to include the
most interesting and moderate natural
features to enhance the look of a timber
floor.. As a naturally occurring
product, all timber flooring contains
some degree of feature such as pinhole,
gum vein and surface check.
Standard Grade
Standard grade relates to a moderately
featured board. that provides a limited
level of natural features. The lower
levels of natural feature present the
floor with a uniform look that is best
suited to modern, minimalist styles.
.Flooring in this grade contains a
regulated degree of feature,
experiencing a greater degree of natural
pinhole and gum vein. These features
will not only be greater in quantity
than select grade but are also larger in
size.
Feature Grade
Feature grade is, as the name suggests,
high feature rustic grade displaying a
high level of natural features. This
grade offers a unique, aged look with
extenuated natural features and is well
suited to both commercial interiors and
traditional decors..Each board is a
veritable sea of natural feature,
containing large knots, gum veins,
pinholes and even some holes that can be
filled during the laying process. Again,
the features will be greater in quantity
and larger in size than standard grade.
Variations in
Timber
Timber is a spectacular and versatile
natural material. It yields a vast
degree of variety in colour, texture and
naturally occurring feature. This
diversity can be apparent even between
pieces selected from batches of the same
species. Sanding and finishing can also
effect variation in colour and may even
highlight subsurface feature. It is
recommended that care be taken when
making a preference selection based on a
single sample piece or a small area
sample. In all cases, timber flooring
supplied will deviate in appearance
between jobs and display samples.
However, it is this deviation that makes
every timber floor absolutely unique.
Timber flooring, whilst seasoned and
kiln dried, will continue to take up and
lose moisture throughout its life
depending on weather, building aspect
and local climate conditions. These
fluctuations in moisture levels will
create some movement and changes to the
surface of your floor can be expected.
This is normal and may include fine
surface checking, gaps between boards
and changes in colour over time.

 Australian
Beech
A large tree attaining a height of 40 m and a
stem diameter of 1.5 m. It has a straight,
slender trunk, usually circular in

approximately 10 mm
thick, light grey to dark grey and is rough and
scaly with the
scales generally angular but occasionally
rounded.

across
a variety of areas in
Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and the
Philippines.

in height and 1 to 2 m in stem diameter. It has
a straight slender trunk, circular in

fissured. Typical smooth gum type bark occurs on
branches and the uppermost part
of
the trunk.
 Forest
Red
A medium to tall forest tree attaining 20 to 50
m in height and up to 2 m in stem diameter. The
trunk is usually straight and clear for more
than half its height. The major limbs are more
steeply inclined than in other eucalypt species.
The bark surface is smooth with white, grey and
bluish patches where bark
pieces
have been shed. Rough dark grey to black dead
bark is retained at the base of the stem.
 Grey
Iron Bark
A medium sized tree attaining a height of 30
to 50 m and a stem diameter of 1.5 m. The
stem is usually straight and free of
branches for a considerable length. The bark
hard, coarse, deeply furrowed and ridged. It
ranges from dark brown to black in colour
and is
persistent
to the small branches.
 Grey
Box
A medium sized tree attaining a height of 20
to 30 metres and 1m in stem diameter. The
trunk is generally straight and of good
form. A finely tessellated grey coloured
box-type bark is persistent to the base of
the branches, where it changes to a smooth
light grey bark
which
is often shed in ribbons.
 Grey
Gum
The grey gums can grow to 40m in height and
1m diameter. On better sites form is
generally good with a straight bole
extending for half or two-thirds the tree's
height.
The bark decorticates in large irregular
patches exposing a cream to bright orange
surface,
which after a time weathers to grey or
grey-brown.
Mixed
Hardwood
A mix of various
native hardwoods ranging from reds, pinks

ironbarks occurring across the Great
Dividing Range and inland. Extends from
Sydney to Cairns, growing
on
a wide variety of soils and is drought and
frost resistant.
 Spotted
Gum
On favourable sites, these species grow to
45 m in height and 1.3 m in stem diameter,
but attain only half these dimensions on
poorer sites. They have straight, slender
trunks with smooth bark. The bark is shed in
patches, giving the species its
characteristic spotted
appearance.
Colour tones range from pink to grey-blue.
 Stringybark
A medium-sized forest tree attaining a
height of 25 to 35 m and 0.7 to 1.0 m in

and horizontal cracks on under layers
and has a characteristic
spongy response to finger pressure.
 White
Mahogany
E. acmenoides
is a tall tree attaining a height of 60
m and a stem diameter over 1 m. E.
umbra ssp. umbra and
carnea are small to medium sized
trees of 8 to 25 m in height and up to 1

brown or reddish brown in colour. The
species name is derived
from the small amount of oleoresin in
the inner bark.
