It is one of the most common species of hardwood commercially available. After the occurrence of a bushfire, the lower trunk of the tree is completely darkened – therefore the name ‘blackbutt’. Blackbutt Hardwood Cladding has a BAL29 rating and is naturally termite resistant. It can be applied to a wide variety of infrastructure conditions because of its flexibility and provides a long-lasting and durable external surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ght-related\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelated:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/products\/shou-sugi-ban-timber-cladding\"\u003eShou Sugi Ban\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/weathertex-weathergroove-smooth-1200mm-panel\"\u003eWeathertex Weathergroove Smooth 1200mm Panel\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/weathertex-weathergroove-smooth-300mm-panel\"\u003eWeathertex Weathergroove Smooth 300mm Panel\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eGoes with:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cladding-accessories\"\u003ecladding accessories\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/timber-battens\"\u003etimber battens\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eRange:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/external-cladding\"\u003eexternal cladding\u003c\/a\u003e in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cladding-and-screening\"\u003ecladding and screening\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eGuides:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/guides\/spotted-gum-vs-blackbutt-flooring-the-2026-thomastown-homeowners-comparison\"\u003eSpotted Gum vs Blackbutt Flooring\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Greenhill Timbers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68913663246370,"sku":"GHT-1777","price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/3981\/5970\/files\/blackbutt-cladding-e1582239133364.jpg?v=1792367802","url":"https:\/\/greenhilltimbers.com.au\/products\/blackbutt-timber-cladding","provider":"Greenhill Timbers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
