Australian hardwoods,especially those from New South Wales, are world renowned for their beauty, unique natural features, density and hardness making them ideal for decorative flooring, able to withstand the rigors of everyday use long after many inferior timbers require replacement.

Timber Species

Please remember, while the natural colour of the timber will be determined by the species, naturally grown variations can and will occur.

Keep in mind that timber is a natural product and no matter how big or small a sample you have seen, your floor WILL BE DIFFERENT from the sample as it will be completely unique.
Timber come in three grades, Contemporary, Standard or Natural.

• Contemporary (also known as Select or Low feature)

This grade exhibits minimum features, it allows a sleek look to the finished product. It is commonly referred to as the premium grade.

The timber flooring market tends to prefer the amount of visible feature to be limited.

• Colonial (also known as Medium feature)

This grade is a mixture of boards that have more features visible. You will get a varying degree of Contemporary-looking timber in this grade of floor after it's been installed. This is because a length of timber may only have one small feature in its entirety, so when it's laid, the overall effect can be of contemporary boards with a bit of character about them.

• Natural Feature (also known as Rustic or High Feature)

This grade is a mix of the more heavily featured lengths of timber that do not fit within our other grading. This grade is favoured by those wanting an older or rustic looking floor.
