Screen colours vary between devices and our descriptions are a guide only. Slight variation between production batches is normal, so we recommend ordering all material for a job at once.
Aspire NSW Spotted Gum is a mid warm honey-brown with the wavy fiddleback figure that marks the species, and a clear spread between honey planks and deeper chocolate ones. Of the four Australian timber decors in the range, the two Spotted Gums are the ones that look like the timber. This is the darker and more varied of the pair; QLD Spotted Gum is lighter and more even.
Spotted gum in a solid floor lays honey, amber and brown with strong figure, and this sits inside that band. It suits rooms with warm or neutral walls, brass or black fittings, and it holds its own beside real timber joinery in a way the smooth oak decors do not.
The variation is part of the look, so open several cartons at once and mix boards across them when laying, or the darker planks will cluster.
Boards are 1800mm long and 8mm thick, a 6.5mm rigid composite core with 1.5mm of IXPE acoustic underlay bonded on and a 0.7mm wear layer, in 178mm or 223mm widths. The floor tested at AAAC 5 Star for impact noise with an L'nTw of 43 dB and an FIIC of 68. Preference Floors had the range tested by X-ray diffraction: it contains no respirable crystalline silica. It is an interior floor, rated for in-slab hydronic heating only.
