Plank’s Australian hardwood boards bring local species to its engineered range: Spotted Gum and Blackbutt, each 1900mm by 133mm and 14mm thick, with a 3mm hardwood top layer on a cross-laminated plywood core. Unlike Plank’s oak, they join with a clip-lock profile, so they can be floated over underlay or fully glued; they are not nailed. Both are wire-brushed and finished in WOCA UV oil. These species are much harder than European oak, rated 9.1 kN against oak’s 6.6 kN, so they resist dents better in busy homes. They are not approved over underfloor heating, and like the rest of this collection they are not for bathrooms, toilets or rooms with a floor waste. Expect natural colour and feature variation between boards. Backed by a 25-year structural warranty for homes, subject to the manufacturer’s installation and care conditions.

Will it suit your home?
- Bathrooms & laundriesNot suitable
Not for bathrooms, toilets or rooms with a floor waste, and moisture damage isn't covered; kitchens are fine.
- Underfloor heatingNot suitable
Not suitable for underfloor heating; talk to us about a heating-friendly alternative.
- Sanding & refinishingNot confirmed yet
The 3mm top layer could allow some sanding, but check with us first so refinishing doesn't affect your warranty.
- Pets & high trafficA good choice
Spotted gum and blackbutt are much harder than oak, so they suit busy homes, though no timber is completely dent-proof.
- Apartments (acoustic)Rating not confirmed
No acoustic test results are published for this floor, so check with us and your strata by-laws before choosing it for an apartment.
