Standout Features of Spotted Gum Solid Flooring
Strong, Stable, and Suited to Australian Homes
Spotted Gum is known for its strength and for good reason. With a Janka hardness of 11.0, it resists dents, holds up under heavy use, and stays stable once laid. If you’re building or renovating in a bushfire zone, it’s rated BAL 29, so it meets requirements for areas with higher risk. You won’t need to compromise on durability or compliance.
This kind of performance makes it a solid fit for main living zones, hallways, and commercial spaces where the floor sees a lot of traffic.
A More Refined Look with Prime Grade
Being Prime grade, the boards are cleaner with fewer knots, less visible sap or gum veins. It gives the floor a more refined finish, but not a flat one. You’ll still see the grain and colour movement that Spotted Gum is known for, ranging from golden browns to deeper earthy tones, often within the same board.
The grain itself is usually straight but can shift into flowing or interlocked patterns. That variation gives the floor life, without making it look too busy.
Practical Format, Easy to Work With
This solid timber flooring comes in a 130 x 14 mm profile. It’s tongue-and-groove, end-matched, and works well over concrete slabs, ply sheeting, or traditional batten systems. It’s a size most installers are familiar with, which makes for a smoother job onsite.
Day-to-Day Maintenance
There’s not much you need to do to keep it looking good. A soft broom, vacuum, and the occasional damp mop will usually be enough. The surface finishes well, whether you want to keep it clear or apply a custom stain to suit the space.
If you’re after a hardwearing, locally sourced hardwood that won’t fade into the background, this Prime-grade Spotted Gum board delivers both looks and long-term performance.
