For generations the distinctive beauty of hardwood flooring has brought warmth and elegance to homes.

Because of their extreme hardness, one and one half to almost twice as hard as American Oak, these woods are ideal for commercial or civic developments. Produced from the finest Australian native hardwoods, Boral Timber flooring is precision machined from carefully selected seasoned lumber which has been kiln dried to provide the vital ingredients of strength and durability. Boral Timber hardwood flooring is available in natural tones from the softest pinks and coffee creams to the richest deep reds and browns. No one offers you more choice to match your overall design.

Its straight trunk rises to at least half of the tree's height. The wood is renowned for both its strength and versatility of application with attractive coloring from cream to pale brown Jarrah One of the few commercial species from Western Australia, Jarrah is renowned world wide for its density and resistance to insect attack. Jarrah's unique qualities have made it an ideal choice for products as diverse as railroad ties and garden furniture. As flooring, its beautiful coloring and exceptional hardness are a perfect choice for commercial and residential interiors. Rose River Gum Prized for its lovely rose coloring, Rose River Gum is a select group of fast growing hardwoods that thrive in the extensive natural forests of New South Wales and the coastal valleys of Queensland. As its Latin name implies, typically it is a wonderfully tall tree usually 145' to 180' in height. The grain is straight with an occasional "scribble" pattern. Spotted Gum Spotted Gum grows to 150' in height and is found on the east coast from the foothills of the rugged Snowy Mountains in Victoria to the lush coastal regions of southern Queensland. The word "spotted" refers to the soft mottled color caused by weathering of the outer tree as it sheds elliptical strips of bark. A very tough timber, the color varies through pale grey browns and soft creams to a rich chocolate brown. Its frequent wavy grain can produce an attractive and highly valued fiddleback effect. Sydney Blue Sydney Blue's name reflects both its prevalence in the area around the city of Sydney and the attractive blue grey bark which is common to this group of Eucalypts. Greatly desired for both commercial and residential projects, the timber color varies from soft brown reds to deep rich reds. This blending of color in Sydney Blue flooring gives a particularly warm luxurious feeling. Tasmanian Oak The name Tasmanian Oak is used to describe three species of Eucalypt commonly found in Tasmania. Tasmanian Oak logs are quartersawn cut to produce an extremely straight and even grain. This quartersawing also gives excellent dimensional stability, making Tasmanian Oak an ideal choice for extreme climates or over radiant heat. |
