The timber has a long grainy structure, with less ‘Swirling’ that is seen in other timbers. The timber starts quite Blonde with a Pinkish tone, eventually yellowing with age. Another Red Timber, Blue gum tends to start life quite pink-ish, and once it has oxidized, tends to go to a medium to dark red colour. The grain structure is typically quite consistent, and does not vary too much in colour when compared with Spotted Gum, although variation always exists. Iron Bark is a very Hard timber, but the name refers to the texture of the bark and not the hardness of the timber, although it is apt.

If you’re after something bold but still refined, Sydney Blue Gum is hard to go past. This native hardwood has a distinctive reddish-brown colour that instantly adds warmth to a room. Its grain is usually straight and even, giving the floor a clean, uniform feel without being flat or dull. Depending on the style, aesthetic appearance, and characteristics that you want.
Certain flooring products can be installed over existing floors if they are flat, dry and secure, installation guidelines provide the necessary steps to deliver a quality outcome. It’s important to remember an old floor that squeaks and moves under normal foot traffic will still squeak & move under foot traffic if no repairs or levelling is conducted at the site. Lack of subfloor preparation or leveling remains a common cause for faulty floor installations.
Due to it’s engineered construction, Engineered timber withstands climatic change better than solid timber does, meaning that it can be floated successfully where Solid Timber can’t. The product is supplied raw and kiln dried usually in random lengths, and requires a period of acclimatization before it is laid. Because the timber is supplied, there is an array of finishes that can be used from polyurethane lacquer, Oil, Hard Wax Oil and others.
For an Engineered Floor, the Acclimatization period is still required, but the amount of expansion breaks is not. Most suppliers allow a floor to be 10m on the length and between 7-8m on the width before a break is required. These breaks are usually positioned in places where they are less obvious, such as doorways. Trims are used to conceal the expansion break, and around the perimeter either skirting boards or scotia are used to hide the perimeter expansion.
