Spotted Gum
Spotted Gum flooring in Melbourne
Greenhill Timbers stocks Spotted Gum flooring at our showroom at 170 Settlement Road, Thomastown, with pickup or delivery across Melbourne and regional Victoria, as solid hardwood boards from two sources, plus hybrid and laminate floors in a Spotted Gum look. Spotted Gum (Corymbia maculata) is one of the hardest floors you can lay, about 11 kN on the Janka scale, with colour that runs from pale grey-brown to chocolate and a wavy grain that can show fiddleback figure.
Solid Spotted Gum
NSW Spotted Gum in Select and Standard grades from $104, QLD Spotted Gum in Feature, Select and Standard from $87, and Prime and Select Spotted Gum from $155, all in 83 × 14, 130 × 14 and 130 × 19 mm tongue-and-groove. Select has even colour with few features; Standard and Feature show more gum vein and colour range, and cost less.
Spotted Gum look without the hardwood
Kodiak hybrid in Spotted Gum for wet areas and rentals, and the Reflections Bushland Spotted Gum laminate.
Laying and finishing
Solid boards go over joists, battens or plywood; being dense, Spotted Gum wants sharp blades and pre-drilling at the ends. It takes oil and water-based polyurethane well. Compare it with the paler, slightly softer Blackbutt in our Spotted Gum versus Blackbutt guide. For Spotted Gum outside, see Spotted Gum decking. Adhesives and trims are in flooring accessories; call (03) 9465 9875 with your room sizes.
