About Australian Native Timber Flooring

Australian native timber flooring celebrates the hardwoods that grow in our own forests, from golden Blackbutt to deep red Ironbark. These eucalypt species are naturally hard, full of colour and grain, and have been the backbone of Queensland homes for generations.

Today you can enjoy the look of Australian native timber in four ways: traditional solid boards, engineered boards with a real hardwood top, and budget-friendly hybrid and laminate floors printed with native timber designs. This page brings all of them together so you can compare.

FAQs

Australian Native Flooring questions

What is Australian native timber flooring?

It is flooring made from hardwood species that grow naturally in Australia, mostly eucalypts such as Blackbutt, Spotted Gum and Ironbark. It’s available as solid boards or as engineered boards with a native hardwood surface.

Which Australian native timber is the most popular for flooring?

Blackbutt and Spotted Gum are the two most popular choices in Queensland. Blackbutt gives a light, contemporary look, while Spotted Gum offers more colour variation and character.

Which Australian timber is the hardest for floors?

Grey Ironbark is one of the hardest flooring timbers in the world, followed by species such as Spotted Gum. Dense timbers like these resist dents from furniture and heels.

Are native-look hybrid and laminate floors real timber?

No. Hybrid and laminate use a high-resolution printed layer that recreates the look of native timber. They’re more water and scratch resistant, but can’t be sanded like real hardwood.

Is Australian native timber better than oak?

They suit different styles. Native hardwoods are generally harder and warmer in colour, while oak offers softer, neutral tones that suit Scandinavian and coastal interiors.

Where can I buy Australian native timber flooring in Brisbane?

Solid, engineered, hybrid and laminate native floors are all on display at LKV in Newstead, with full supply and installation for Brisbane homes.
