To clean Spotted Gum timber floors, sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dust and grit. Use a slightly damp mop with a pH-neutral timber floor cleaner — never soak the boards with water. Avoid harsh chemicals, steam mops, or abrasive cleaners.

Yes. Spotted Gum is one of the hardest Australian native timbers, with a Janka hardness rating of 11kN. This makes it exceptionally resistant to denting, scratching, and wear — ideal for busy hallways, kitchens, living rooms, and commercial spaces. Lifewood's Stabilised Solid® construction adds further structural stability, making it suitable for direct stick installation across all high-traffic residential applications.

Spotted Gum timber flooring pricing varies based on whether you choose solid or engineered (Stabilised Solid®) construction, board width, grade, and finish. Lifewood's engineered Spotted Gum starts from a mid-range investment with lifetime warranty included.

Both are premium Australian hardwood species, but they differ in colour, hardness, and character. Spotted Gum (Corymbia maculata) has a Janka hardness of 11kN and features distinctive wavy grain patterns with a colour range from pale cream to rich chocolate brown — ideal for bold, characterful floors. Blackbutt (Eucalyptus pilularis) has a Janka hardness of 9.1kN and a more consistent pale golden tone, making it a versatile choice for contemporary interiors. Both species are available in Lifewood's Stabilised Solid® engineered construction with a lifetime warranty.

Stabilised Solid® is Lifewood's patented flooring construction technology — the key innovation that sets Lifewood apart from standard timber flooring suppliers. Unlike conventional solid hardwood (which is single-cut from a log and prone to expansion, contraction, and cupping), Stabilised Solid® engineers the full-thickness board with 100% genuine hardwood from top to bottom across three layers, cross-bonded for stability. The result is a floor that looks, feels, and sands like solid timber, but with superior dimensional stability — suitable for direct stick installation over concrete and under-floor heating, with a lifetime structural warranty.
