Top 5 FAQs for Boral Timber Hardwood

How does Boral Timber ensure its hardwood is sustainably sourced?

Boral Timber hardwood, as part of Pentarch Forestry™, commits to responsible forest management. This includes operating under strict Australian environmental standards and often includes certifications (like AFS or PEFC), which ensure that the timber is sourced legally and sustainably, with a focus on regenerating the forests. This commitment is crucial for customers who prioritize eco-conscious building materials.

What is the primary difference between Boral's solid and engineered hardwood timber flooring?

Boral's hardwood timber solid flooring is a single piece of wood throughout its thickness, offering maximum longevity and the ability to be sanded multiple times (up to 7-8 times). Engineered flooring uses a thinner layer of genuine Boral hardwood (the veneer) adhered to a stable plywood or HDF core. Engineered is more stable, faster to install (often floating), and more moisture-resistant, but can only be sanded a few times.

Is Boral's wood decking suitable for severe Australian weather conditions?

Yes. Boral Timber hardwood supplies wood decking in highly durable Australian species (like Blackbutt or Spotted Gum) known for their natural resistance to rot, decay, and termites. These timbers are rated for durability (e.g., Durability Class 1 or 2), meaning they can withstand harsh weather, including the intense sun and moisture variations found across Australia, when maintained correctly with protective oils or stains.

Why would I choose Boral Timber hardwood over other brands for my flooring?

Choosing Boral Timber hardwood means relying on Australia's largest producer, guaranteeing consistency in grade and supply. Their expertise is evidenced by the use of their hardwood timber in complex commercial and sports flooring systems, proving the material's superior strength and dimensional stability. This large-scale, certified quality assurance is what sets Boral apart from smaller suppliers.

Can Boral's hardwood timber be used in high-traffic commercial settings like sports flooring?

Yes, Boral specializes in providing sports flooring solutions. This application requires hardwood timber with high density and excellent shock-absorption capabilities, typically using select species and specialized installation systems (like sprung floors). The success of their commercial sports flooring confirms that Boral's products are engineered for the absolute highest demands of durability and performance.
