The boards are pale, from straw through cream and pink to a light reddish brown, with a straight, even grain and almost no gum vein in Prime grade, which is why it is the floor people choose when they want the room to feel light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the softest floor on this list, with a seasoned hardness of 4.9 kN in the WoodSolutions table (Tasmanian Timber quotes 5.5), at about 650 kg\/m³, so it marks more easily than Blackbutt or Spotted Gum under stiletto heels and dragged chairs. In exchange it is the most stable: unit movement of 0.23% radial and 0.36% tangential per 1% change in moisture, which is why wide boards and underfloor heating are usually done in Tasmanian Oak. It takes stains and clear coats evenly and sands cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGrades for this timber\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Tasmanian Oak is Prime grade, the cleanest grade: few gum veins, knots or marks, and an even colour across the pack. It is the grade to use when the floor is meant to read as one pale surface. Grade names vary between suppliers, so ask what each one allows; our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/guides\/timber-grades-explained\"\u003etimber grades guide\u003c\/a\u003e explains the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLaying and finishing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoards are supplied kiln-dried at 10–12.5% moisture content. If that matches the house, lay them; if the house is noticeably wetter or drier, open the packs and stack them with airflow for a week first. Leave 10–12 mm expansion gaps at walls and fixed points, more across a wide room. Leave the laid floor about two weeks before sanding and coating so it settles (WoodSolutions).

The 14 mm board is an overlay: it must be glued or nailed to a continuous subfloor, or direct-stuck to a concrete slab over a moisture barrier, and cannot span joists. Both are tongue-and-groove and end-matched, and both are sanded and coated after laying, so the finished floor looks the same; the 14 mm board is cheaper per square metre and sits lower at doorways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat NSW Spotted Gum flooring is like\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNSW Spotted Gum (\u003cem\u003eCorymbia maculata\u003c\/em\u003e) is the hardest floor we stock: WoodSolutions puts the seasoned hardness at 10.1 kN at about 990 kg\/m³. The colour is the point of it. Boards run from pale brown through chocolate to a dark red-brown, often with a wavy grain, so no two packs are alike and the finished floor has movement in it. It is the floor for a house that wants an Australian hardwood to look like one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt machines and sands cleanly despite the density, takes oil and polyurethane evenly, and is naturally termite resistant in the heartwood. The same timber is on the AS 3959 bushfire-resisting list, which matters for decks rather than floors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGrades for this timber\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelect keeps the colour range but cuts out most gum vein and knots; Standard allows them and costs 10–15% less. In Spotted Gum the colour variation is there in both grades, so choose Standard if you like the look busy and Select if you want the colour without the marks.

If that matches the house, lay them; if the house is noticeably wetter or drier, open the packs and stack them with airflow for a week first. Leave 10–12 mm expansion gaps at walls and fixed points, more across a wide room. Leave the laid floor about two weeks before sanding and coating so it settles (WoodSolutions).

Both are tongue-and-groove and end-matched, and both are sanded and coated after laying, so the finished floor looks the same; the 14 mm board is cheaper per square metre and sits lower at doorways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Grey Ironbark flooring is like\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrey ironbark, mainly \u003cem\u003eEucalyptus paniculata\u003c\/em\u003e, is the hardest and heaviest floor we sell: WoodSolutions gives a seasoned hardness of 16 kN at about 1,106 kg\/m³, roughly double Merbau and well above Spotted Gum. The boards run light grey to light chocolate with darker red and brown pieces, a tight interlocked grain, and very little figure, so the floor reads as dense and even rather than lively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the floor for shops, halls and houses with dogs, dragged furniture and hard use. The heartwood is naturally termite resistant and the sapwood is not susceptible to lyctid borer. The trade-off is in the laying: it is heavy, blunts blades, and needs sharp tooling to cut cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGrades for this timber\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeature grade, the one we stock, shows the full colour range with gum veins and some knots; Standard and Select are progressively cleaner and are ordered in.

Its natural variation, from pale blondes to warm browns, gives each board a lived-in, character-rich feel. With a Janka rating of 8.1, it’s built to withstand daily wear and performs well in high-traffic areas. Many Chestnut products meet BAL 12.5 requirements, making them a smart choice in bushfire-prone regions.

No two boards are the same, which adds a sense of depth without dominating the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts versatility means it works just as well in open-plan homes as it does in commercial spaces or hallway-heavy layouts.

It’s tough enough to handle daily use, including heavy foot traffic, occasional knocks, and furniture movement, while still being easy to cut, sand, and finish on site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis timber is also known for its dimensional stability. Once installed and sealed correctly, it remains steady with minimal seasonal movement.

It doesn’t require oiling or ongoing treatments unless you are aiming for a specific effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing a solid timber, it can be sanded and refinished down the track, giving you the option to refresh the surface without replacing the entire floor.
