Spotted Gum smooth shows off the natural variation of this Australian hardwood under a smooth, 10% gloss finish. The low gloss gives slightly more reflection than a matte floor, which brings out the colour and figure in the timber without looking shiny.
It is an engineered board, 14 mm thick with a 3 mm Spotted Gum wear layer, 180 mm wide and available in 1820 and 2100 mm lengths. Micro-bevelled edges and tongue and groove joints. Six boards in each pack, covering 1.966 m² or 2.268 m² depending on length.
What Spotted Gum looks like on the floor
Spotted Gum has strong colour variation, from paler boards through to deeper browns, often with a wavy grain. It sits in our warm browns. People who want an Australian timber rather than European oak tend to choose it, and it suits Australian-built homes of all eras, from post-war brick in Mitcham to a new build in Templestowe.
Smooth or matte brushed?
Spotted Gum is hard-wearing, but a smooth surface shows fine scratches more than a brushed one, and the low gloss catches the light at a low angle. It is a good fit for formal living rooms, bedrooms and studies. For a busy hallway or a family with a big dog, compare it with Spotted Gum matte brushed.
Installation
This is an engineered tongue and groove board, so it goes down like engineered oak: glued to a flat, moisture-tested slab or fixed over a timber subfloor. If you would prefer full-thickness solid boards, see Spotted Gum solid 18 mm.
Other Australian hardwoods
For a paler hardwood, look at Blackbutt smooth. If you like the look but want a floating floor, NSW Spotted Gum laminate is the more affordable option. The full selection is in our Australian hardwood range.
Care
Regular vacuuming to remove grit, felt pads and a damp mop will keep it in good condition. We recommend taking a free sample home to see the variation.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Will Spotted Gum smooth show scratches?
Spotted Gum is a hard timber, but the smooth 10% gloss surface shows fine scratches more than the matte brushed version. For heavy traffic or pets, the brushed board is the safer choice.
How many packs of Spotted Gum smooth for 20 m²?
Packs cover 1.966 m² (1820 mm boards) or 2.268 m² (2100 mm boards). With about 10% extra, 22 m² comes to 12 packs of the shorter length or 10 packs of the longer.
Is this solid Spotted Gum?
It is engineered, with a 3 mm Spotted Gum wear layer on a 14 mm board. If you want full-thickness solid boards, we also supply 18 mm solid tongue-and-groove boards.
