It’s one of the harder Australian hardwoods, with a Janka rating of 9.5, making it a solid pick for busy areas like hallways and living spaces.

Product Description

Brushbox Timber Flooring – Clean Look, Solid Underfoot

A Timber That Feels Put Together

Brushbox has a natural polish to it. The grain is tight and consistent, and the colour leans towards warmer reddish tones, think soft brown through to deep blush, without strong contrast from board to board. This even look makes it a favourite in homes where you want timber that doesn’t draw too much attention but still adds depth and tone to a space. It’s commonly used in living rooms, bedrooms, and stairs where a clean finish matters.

Built to Handle Daily Life

Brushbox is more than just a good-looking floor; it’s tough too. It has a Janka hardness rating of 9.5, which puts it at the higher end of the scale when it comes to resisting dents and wear. That makes it suitable for high-traffic areas, including homes with kids or pets. It also meets BAL 12.5 fire rating standards, meaning it’s approved for use in bushfire-prone areas with moderate risk. Once it’s installed and finished, it stays stable with minimal shifting and solid underfoot.

Installs Clean, Finishes Well

Installers tend to like working with Brushbox. It holds its shape well and cuts cleanly when you’ve got the right tools. The tongue-and-groove profile and end-matching help with alignment and make the laying process smoother. Whether you’re going over battens, plywood, or concrete, it’s adaptable. And because the grain is fine, it takes stains and coatings nicely, giving you a bit of flexibility with the finish.

Simple to Maintain

Once laid and sealed, Brushbox is easy to live with. It doesn’t need special treatments or oils, just a regular sweep and the occasional mop with a damp cloth. Any surface dust or spills are easy to manage. Over time, it wears well without needing much from you.

A Good Match for a Range of Builds

Whether you’re working on a renovation or a new build, Brushbox brings a nice balance of visual warmth and long-term durability. It won’t overwhelm a space, but it gives the kind of detail and density that holds up over time. If you’re comparing it to other timbers or are unsure how it might look in your space, feel free to visit the showroom or ask us for a sample to get a proper look and feel.

Janka Rating

What Is the Janka Rating?

The Janka rating is a way to measure how hard a timber is, specifically, how much force it takes to push a small steel ball halfway into the wood. The number you get is shown in kilonewtons (kN). A higher Janka score means a harder, more durable timber. Builders and floor installers use it to work out which timbers hold up better in busy areas.

Here’s a rough guide to how some timbers sit on the scale:

  • Brazilian Walnut – around 16.0 kN
  • Spotted Gum – roughly 11.0 kN
  • Tasmanian Oak – about 5.5 kN
  • Radiata Pine – close to 3.0 kN

Keep in mind: these values can vary depending on moisture content and grain direction.

It's One Part of the Decision

Hardness is useful to know, but it’s just one factor. Janka doesn’t tell you how a timber reacts to heat or humidity, how stable it is, or how easy it is to cut and install.

Some of the hardest woods can be difficult to work with. Others, even if softer, might be more stable or forgiving on-site.
