Grey Ironbark Flooring

Yes. Grey Ironbark rates 14.0 kN on the Janka hardness scale, which is the number to look at for dents and traffic. It runs about 1120kg/m³ dry density. No timber floor is dent-proof, but this one takes a busy kitchen. What matters more is that it can be re-coated when the finish is due, rather than replaced.

We don’t, and that’s deliberate. We supply the floor and match you with an installer through our Trade-Match service, chosen for your suburb, your subfloor and the format you’ve picked. You deal with the installer directly, and we stay involved on the product side for the life of the floor.

We stock Select / Standard (Medium Feature) / Feature (High Feature). Grade is about how much natural feature you want to see, not about quality – every grade is structurally sound. Select is the quietest, with small and few features. The higher grades carry more gum vein, more colour movement and more character. Come and see the boards side by side at Osborne Park.

Talk to us before you specify it. Whether a floor suits a heated slab depends on the board thickness, the format and the system itself, and the answer differs by supplier. We’ll check the manufacturer’s position for your build rather than give you a general rule that might not hold.

This floor is supplied unfinished, so allow for sanding and coating on site after it’s laid. That’s usually several days of curing on top of the installation itself. The upside is a seamless finish and a colour chosen to match the rest of your home.
