Grey Iron Bark Flooring

What is Grey Ironbark?

Grey Ironbark (botanical name Eucalyptus paniculata) is a native Australian hardwood species known for its extreme density, durability and rich colour variations.
Key features include:

Colour range: From dark chocolate brown through nutty honey to deep red-brown.
Grain & texture: Often exhibits an interlocked, sometimes wavy grain, with a moderately coarse but even texture.
Hardness & density: With a Janka hardness rating of around 14 kN and a dry density approx. 1,090-1,120 kg/m³, Grey Ironbark is among the hardest commercial Australian hardwoods.
Durability: Classified as Class 1 for natural durability above ground. Very efficient for flooring that needs to stand up to high use.

Because of these attributes, Grey Ironbark is a premium choice where both aesthetic depth and long-term performance matter.

Grades

Grey Ironbark flooring may be available in different visual grades. Grading describes the size and frequency of natural features within the boards rather than the timber’s hardness or structural strength.

Select Grade

Select Grade provides a cleaner and more consistent appearance. Natural features are generally smaller and fewer in number, allowing the timber’s rich colour and grain to remain the main focus.

This grade is well suited to modern interiors where a refined and relatively uniform finish is preferred.

Standard Grade

Standard Grade offers a balance between a clean finish and visible natural character. Boards may contain moderate gum veins, small knots, dark streaks and natural colour variation.

It is a popular option for homeowners who want an authentic Australian hardwood floor without a heavily rustic appearance.

Feature Grade

Feature Grade contains more prominent natural markings, which may include wider gum veins, knots, insect trails, darker streaks and stronger colour variation.

This grade is suitable for interiors where the natural character of the timber is intended to be a noticeable part of the finished floor.

Rustic Grade

Rustic Grade creates a highly varied and character-rich floor. It may contain more frequent knots, gum veins, natural checking, insect marks and strong differences in colour between boards.

This grade works well in traditional, industrial and rustic-style interiors.

Standard and Better Grade

Standard and Better Grade generally combines Standard Grade boards with cleaner Select Grade boards. It provides controlled natural variation while maintaining a relatively consistent overall appearance.

Please note: Grade names and acceptable natural features can vary between manufacturers. Grey Ironbark is commonly available in Select, Standard, Feature, Rustic and Standard and Better grades, but current availability should be confirmed before purchase.
