Description
Spotted Gum Timber Veneer Flooring brings the wavy, distinctive grain of Australian Spotted Gum to a floating floor via a genuine 3mm veneer bonded to a 14mm engineered board, joined with a tongue-and-groove system for a traditional strip-flooring profile at 136mm wide. Being a real veneer rather than a printed surface, the 3mm layer here carries authentic Spotted Gum character rather than a flat reproduction.
Board lengths are nested within each pack — ranging from 1830mm to 2190mm — which staggers the joint pattern across a floor automatically as boards are laid. Because the exact length mix in a given batch can vary, coverage per pack (1.493m² or 1.787m² for 6 boards) depends on which specific batch is supplied, which is worth accounting for when calculating total quantity needed for a job.
The nested board lengths are a deliberate manufacturing feature rather than a limitation — by varying length within each pack rather than supplying uniform boards, the laying pattern randomises automatically as the floor goes down, avoiding the repetitive, obviously-patterned look that can result from a fixed board length. Its 3mm genuine Spotted Gum veneer over a 14mm engineered core gives real timber character and colour depth while remaining dimensionally more stable under Australian climate swings than a solid timber floor of equivalent thickness.

Where to Use
- Residential living areas, bedrooms and hallways as a floating floor
- Renovation and new-build projects wanting genuine Spotted Gum character
- Rooms suited to a floating installation over a compatible underlay
How to Apply
- Acclimatise the boards — allow the flooring to acclimatise to the room’s conditions before installation.
- Prepare the subfloor — ensure it is flat, clean and dry, and lay a compatible underlay.
- Lay the boards — join using the tongue-and-groove system, taking advantage of the nested lengths for a naturally staggered pattern.
- Leave expansion gaps — allow for expansion at walls and fixed obstructions as required for a floating floor.
Important Notes
- Order with allowance for batch-to-batch variation in coverage per pack, since board length mix isn’t fixed.
- The 25-year warranty applies to residential use — confirm suitability before specifying for a commercial application.
- As a genuine timber veneer product, expect natural variation in grain and colour between boards.
