Species: Eucalyptus pilularis

A wonderful softly-toned canvas for all styles of home, Eastern States or NSW Blackbutt hardwood flooring makes you want to snuggle down within its warmth. It’s light colour is perfect in contemporary homes, creating an impression of wide open space, but you’ll find it so versatile you can picture it almost anywhere.

And your Eastern States, or NSW Blackbutt floorboards will remain looking as stunning on day one, as they will forever, with Lifewood’s revolutionary Stabilised Solid technology. Scientifically developed and embodying years of experience with timber milling, a Stabilised Solid board has a patented, engineered core, which stops the boards and floor from cupping or warping due to the reaction of moisture with the natural timber product.

The Stabilised Solid core is secured between a thick layer on top of the best quality and most beautiful looking part of the NSW Blackbutt timber, and the base, which is a whole plank of the same uninterrupted timber. Using 100 per cent Eastern States Blackbutt timber for the whole floorboard creates balance and in harmony within the board, and incredible stability. It is also the most environmentally sustainable flooring practice in the world.

Throughout the boards construction are multiple moisture barriers, with all layers bonded together with emission-safe glue. On the finished product, all six sides of each and every floorboard are coated in an extra moisture barrier.

Your Lifewood NSW Blackbutt floor comes with a lifetime guarantee.
