Guardian Grey Oak is the clearest true grey in the range: a mid cool grey with strong striated grain and enough contrast between boards to keep it from looking flat. Estate Grey is the paler, more silvery alternative and Dark...

Guardian Natural Oak Grey is the grey version of Natural Oak and the name is accurate: a light to mid grey with a brown undertone still running underneath it, and the same knots and open grain. It is cooler than...

Guardian Natural Oak is the board with the most character in the mid range: a mid greige-brown carrying knots, open grain and a visible shift in tone between planks. Set it beside Chester Oak and this one is clearly deeper...

Guardian Chester Oak is a light warm greige-tan with soft open grain and mild variation between boards. It is the gentlest of the pale decors here, warmer than Natural Oak Grey and less washed out than White Oak, which makes...

Guardian Fertile Oak is the warmest of the three golden boards, a mid caramel-tan that sits a step deeper and slightly redder than Blackbutt. The grain is fine and the surface is smooth, so the warmth comes from the colour...

Read this one from the swatch rather than the name. Guardian Spotted Gum is a greyed taupe-brown with pale cream boards mixed through it, and the plank-to-plank variation is the widest in the range. Real spotted gum lays honey, amber...

Guardian Blackbutt is a soft warm golden-tan with a smooth face and very little contrast from plank to plank. Australian blackbutt in solid timber lays paler than this, with more olive in it and more gum vein showing, so expect...

Sunset is the warmest design in the Obsidian herringbone range: a rich amber-brown with visible grain that gives the pattern real depth. Where the greys read as contemporary, this one leans traditional, and it sits naturally in period homes, Federation...

Spotted Gum herringbone brings together Australia's most recognisable timber and the pattern that has defined European flooring for three centuries. The species' natural range of honey, chocolate and soft grey plays particularly well in a herringbone lay, because the alternating...

Night Wind is the darkest design in the Obsidian herringbone range: a deep, near-charcoal timber that turns the pattern into something architectural rather than decorative. In the right room it is the most striking floor we sell; in the wrong...

Grey Leaf is the softest and lightest of the Obsidian herringbone designs: a pale grey-beige with gentle grain movement that keeps the pattern visible without weight. It is the choice for rooms that need brightening, or where herringbone might otherwise...

Estate Grey Oak is the cool neutral of the Obsidian herringbone range: a soft, slightly weathered grey oak that lets the pattern do the talking. Where a strong timber tone can make herringbone feel busy, this one reads as texture...

Blackbutt in herringbone is an unusual combination and a striking one. Blackbutt's pale golden tone and fine straight grain are subtle on their own; laid at 45 degrees in a herringbone pattern, that quiet grain becomes a repeating chevron that...

Hydrocore Spotted Gum gives you Australia's most popular timber look with a 72 hour waterproof rating: three days for a spill to be found and cleaned up without damage. That is the specification that makes laminate genuinely usable in kitchens,...

Golden Fog is a pale, misty grey oak with only the faintest warm undertone holding it back from a true cool grey. The name is more about that warmth than any actual gold. It reads as limed or softly weathered...

Ginger Ale is a warm golden oak with genuine character, flowing cathedral grain, visible knots and enough variation between boards that the floor has movement across a whole room rather than reading as one printed tone. That grain is doing...

Fortune Cookie is a light warm sandy blonde: a soft biscuit-toned oak with fine, straight, even grain and very little variation between boards. It is the calmest of the warm boards in the Hydrocore range, where Ginger Ale is more...

Firewood is worth looking at before you judge it by the name. It is not a warm red-brown. It is a pale, cool greige, a soft washed grey-beige with low contrast and fine grain, and it is one of the...
