Why Blackbutt is the Sustainable Choice for Your Australian Home

Real Timber, Real Beauty — Right From Australia 

Blackbutt timber is one of Australia’s most loved native hardwoods. It’s light, golden, and full of beautiful grain — a perfect choice for Australian homes that love natural style. But at Lifewood, we don’t just create floors that look good. We create floors that do good, too. 

Each Lifewood Blackbutt floor is handcrafted with care, using sustainably sourced timber. That means we’re choosing wood from forests that are managed responsibly — making sure trees have a chance to regrow, wildlife is protected, and our forests can thrive for generations. 

One Floor, One Tree: Our Partnership With Trillion Trees  

Every time someone chooses a Lifewood floor, something special happens. 

We plant a tree. 

Through our partnership with Trillion Trees, we’ve made a commitment to restore and protect Australia’s forests. That means for every floor we lay — including every Blackbutt floor — a new tree is planted in the ground. 

It’s our way of giving back to the land that gives us so much. 

So, while your home is becoming warmer and more beautiful, you’re also helping replant bushland and protect our native environment. 

What Makes Blackbutt Flooring So Special? 

1. It’s Hard, Durable, and Built to Last

Blackbutt is known for its strength. It can handle everyday life — kids, pets, shoes indoors — without showing wear and tear easily. At Lifewood, we take this hardwood and craft it using our patented Stabilised Solid® technology and Natures Steel ® Bamboo Core Technology, for superior durability and sustainability. 

2. It Brings Natural Warmth into the Home

With soft, creamy tones and subtle texture, Blackbutt suits every style — from modern city homes to cosy country cottages. You can match it with white walls, natural fabrics, and timber furniture for that fresh, earthy Australian feel. 

3. It’s a Choice You Can Feel Proud Of

Because it’s made the right way. No shortcuts. No damage to forests. 
We believe in flooring that’s not only stunning — but sustainable. And with every tree we plant, your floor becomes part of a bigger story. 

Lifewood and Sustainability 

Lifewood’s journey began over 22 years ago as Bamboozle, a humble local brand creating beautiful bamboo floors for Perth homes. Since then, we’ve evolved into a company with a global vision — one built on sustainability, zero waste, and support for humanitarian and environmental causes. 

Through our patented manufacturing process, we use every part of the tree — leaving nothing to waste. And through our partnership with Trillion Trees, we replace what we take by planting a new tree for every floor we lay. 

Our goal is simple: to leave the earth better than we found it. 

Supporting Responsible Forestry & Australian Farmers 

We believe in more than just beautiful floors. We believe in doing what’s right. 

That’s why we carefully handpick every piece of timber we use — making sure it comes from well-managed forests that support the environment and local farming communities. 

From harvesting logs to crafting every floorboard by hand, we control every part of our process. This means we can guarantee high quality while also reducing waste, protecting the environment, and ensuring ethical practices at every step. 

Why Choose Timber as Your Flooring?

Hardwood timber is more than just beautiful. It’s smart. It’s sustainable. And it’s good for the planet. 

Unlike synthetic flooring, real timber naturally stores carbon — helping reduce CO₂ in the atmosphere and lowering the carbon footprint of your home. 

At Lifewood, every floorboard is a step toward a better future. By choosing timber from ethically managed forests, you’re supporting a global movement to preserve biodiversity, protect native wildlife, and ensure our forests remain strong and healthy. 

Choosing a Lifewood floor means choosing something timeless — not just in style, but in impact.

We Plant a Tree for Every Floor

At Lifewood, we believe every home can become part of a greener future. 

That’s why we make every floor by hand. That’s why we source our timber the right way. 
And that’s why we plant a tree for every floor installed. 

Why Its Important to Choose a Sustainable Flooring Brand? 

When it comes to flooring, it’s not just about how it looks — it’s also about the impact it makes. Choosing a sustainable flooring brand like Lifewood means you’re investing in a floor that not only lasts a lifetime but helps protect the future of our planet. 

Our Blackbutt timber is a perfect choice for sustainability. As a native Australian hardwood, Blackbutt grows quickly and regenerates well, making it one of the most eco-friendly flooring timbers available. It’s durable, stunning in appearance, and sourced responsibly to support healthy forestry practices. 

At Lifewood, sustainability runs through everything we do — from how we select our trees, to our waste-free patented Stabilised Solid® design, to replanting trees in partnership with Trillion Trees. For every floor we lay, we plant a tree. 

So when you choose Blackbutt from Lifewood, you’re choosing a floor that feels good, looks beautiful, and gives back to the earth.
