Coffee Oak is cooler than the name suggests. It is a smoked grey-brown rather than a warm coffee, heavily brushed, with strong open grain and dark knots that carry right through the board. It is the darkest and most dramatic...

Tassie Oak is not an oak at all. It is the trade name for a group of Australian eucalypts, and that is what gives this floor its character: a pale straw-to-blonde base with soft pink and light brown tones running...

Genuine Australian spotted gum, not a print of it. The Godfrey Hirst Pioneer range is faced with real Australian species timber veneer, and spotted gum is the species that most rewards being real. It runs honey through amber to mid...

This is real Australian blackbutt, not an oak print with an Australian name on it. The Godfrey Hirst Pioneer range is faced with genuine Australian species timber veneer, so what you get is the actual thing: a pale golden board...

This is real Australian blackbutt. The Godfrey Hirst Pioneer range is faced with genuine Australian species timber veneer, not an oak print wearing an Australian name. Blackbutt gives you a pale golden board with a soft olive cast and low,...

Spotted gum is the most variegated timber Australia produces, and on a brushed board you get the full effect: honey through amber to mid brown, changing markedly from plank to plank, with dark streaking driven through the grain. This is...

Eclipse Shadow is the darkest board in the Godfrey Hirst Zenith 1800 range: a near-black deep brown-charcoal with fine striation through it that stops the surface going flat. A dark floor is the most dramatic thing you can do to...

Astral Slate is the true grey of the Godfrey Hirst Zenith 1800 range: a mid cool grey with just enough brown underneath to stop it reading blue, and clear striation running the length of the board. Grey floors went out...

Galactic Grove is the warmest board in the Godfrey Hirst Zenith 1800 range and the only one with a pink-apricot cast: a mid peachy-tan with a deeper reddish-brown running through the centre of the plank. It is a distinctive floor...

Starry Spotted Gum is a lightened, calmer take on spotted gum. Genuine spotted gum runs honey through amber to brown with strong plank-to-plank variation; this board keeps the golden tan and the fine striation but dials the contrast right back....

Prime Blackbutt is one of the more accurate species reproductions we stock: a pale golden board with a soft olive cast and low, even grain contrast, which is very close to how Australian blackbutt actually looks laid as a floor....

Celestial Driftwood is nothing like driftwood. Real driftwood is weathered and grey; this is a rich golden amber with strong dark streaking running through it: the highest-contrast and most dramatic of the golden boards in the Godfrey Hirst Zenith 1800...

Stellar Oak is the most olive-toned board in the Godfrey Hirst Zenith 1800 range: a muted mid brown with a distinct green-grey cast that sets it apart from the golden colours sitting either side of it. That undertone is the...

Aurora Pine reads as oak, not pine. It is a warm mid golden-tan with noticeably more grain movement and darker streaking than Cosmic Sand, which is the closest colour to it in the Godfrey Hirst Zenith 1800 range. The pale...

Nebula Walnut is a dark greyed brown rather than the warm chocolate most people expect from a walnut. The grey undertone is deliberate, and it is what makes this board work in cool interiors: polished concrete, black tapware, charcoal or...

Lunar Ash is the palest board in the Godfrey Hirst Zenith 1800 range, but it is not grey. It reads as a soft cream-white with the faintest warm cast, closer to bleached oak than to ash. If an actual grey...

Solar Drift is the quietest colour in the Godfrey Hirst Zenith 1800 range: a pale warm greige-beige with very low grain contrast and a soft, even surface. Despite the name there is nothing bright about it; this is the board...

Cosmic Sand is warmer and deeper than the name suggests: a golden honey-tan oak with clear, straight grain and moderate contrast, not the pale sand tone most people picture. It is the most classic warm timber colour in the Godfrey...
