Blackbutt flooring is a type of hardwood flooring made from the timber of the blackbutt tree (Eucalyptus pilularis), which is native to eastern Australia. The timber has a light to mid-brown colour, a straight grain, and a uniform texture, and it is known for its durability and resistance to wear and tear.

Blackbutt flooring is a popular choice due to its natural beauty, strength, and durablity. It is often used by interior designers to match a wide range of home styles from contemporary to traditional. It is very suitable for hight-traffic areas for kitchens, living rooms and hallways.

Blackbutt flooring is known for its durability and strength. Its Janka hardness rating is 9.1, higher than that of many commonly used hardwoods in Australia, such as oak or maple.

It means that blackbutt flooring is less likely to dent, scratch, or show signs of wear, making it a popular choice for high-traffic areas. Blackbutt timber is also naturally resistant to decay, termites, and other pests, further adding to its durability.

Yes, maintaining blackbutt flooring is straightforward. Following the simple tips below, you can keep your blackbutt flooring looking beautiful and extend its lifespan.

• Regular Cleaning: Regular sweeping or vacuuming to remove dirt, dust, and debris can help prevent scratches and abrasions on the flooring. You can also use a damp mop and a mild cleaning solution for timber floors to clean the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the finish or timber.
• Avoid Water Damage: Excess water or moisture can damage timber flooring, so wipe up spills immediately and avoid leaving standing water on the floor. Put doormats at entrances to prevent dirt and water from being tracked onto the floor.
• Protect from Sunlight: Direct sunlight can cause timber flooring to fade and age prematurely. Use curtains, blinds, or window films to protect your blackbutt flooring from UV radiation.
• Use Furniture Pads: Place furniture pads or felt protectors under furniture legs to prevent scratches and dents when moving or rearranging furniture.
• Sand and Refinish: If the flooring starts to show signs of wear and tear or scratches, it may be necessary to sand and refinish the surface to restore its original appearance.
