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. 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). Allow 5–10% extra for cuts and the odd board you set aside.
