Product information
Blackbutt (Eucalyptus pilularis) is an Australian hardwood timber that’s mostly grown in northern New South Wales and southern Queensland. Blackbutt is a stylish timber that grows quickly, making it ideal for a sustainable future.
Used as flooring, blackbutt is well known for having high strength and durability. It can resist decay for more than 50 years, making it a great long-term investment. Blackbutt has a Janka dry hardness of 9.1kN, comparable to spotted gum.
Blackbutt hardwood flooring is hard enough to resist the scratches and scrapes of everyday life with very little maintenance. Blackbutt engineered timber flooring has high termite and fire resistance and is a versatile timber that can be stained and polished, or even used for outdoor decking.
Colour options and materials available
Natural blackbutt timber has an even colour and straight grain. The tones can range from golden honey to creamy brown, so it’s worth noting that colours vary between hardwood products. Blackbutt engineered flooring is a marvel in itself, with a top layer of blackbutt hardwood bonded to a multilayered base.
Blackbutt hardwood can be oiled to bring out natural colour variations in the timber. The Engrained range of timber flooring available at Carpet Court, for example, is available in six species, each with its own unique natural colour and characteristics. Engrained comes in a range of timber shades layered with a refined matte finish, creating an enduring surface and modern look.
