Bring warmth and brightness with Blackbutt flooring

Renowned as a quick growing species, NSW Blackbutt (Coastal Blackbutt or Eastern States Blackbutt) has had many uses throughout it’s history, from railway sleepers and joinery, to flooring, decking and furniture. It is currently used in beautiful big expanses for the flooring in Parliament House in Canberra. It is an immensely durable, versatile and adaptable flooring choice that provides warmth and beauty in any home.

The grain and therefore texture in Blackbutt is striking and clean.  This, combined with a reliable tone showing little variation in colour, is what makes an NSW Blackbutt floor so adaptable to any style of home. It is a creamy, buttery blank canvas, on which you can illustrate your personality with furnishings, wall colour, art work and fixtures and fittings. It is one of those timber floors you will want to lay your cheek to, with its irresistible, enveloping warmth.

Lifewood also offers Eastern States Blackbutt staircases, which are a majestic compliment to Blackbutt flooring in any home.

As the name suggests, Eastern States Blackbutt comes from the Eastern Coast of Australian – principally NSW and QLD. Our sources are Australian Forestry Standard (AFS) and PEFC accredited. Lifewood uses only NSW Blackbutt, which has less variation than the New England Blackbutt.

Choose from satin or semi-gloss finishes that are scratch resistant and hard wearing, and which enhance the beautiful grain and colour of NSW Blackbutt without cloudiness or an overly-reflective high gloss.
