Sydney Blue Gum is a hardwood timber native to Australia, particularly the New South Wales coastline and southern Queensland. Despite its colourful name, Sydney Blue Gum has a lovely red tone (it gets its name from the tendency of its bark to appear blue). As one of the largest hardwood species in Australia, it is an important part of the ecosystem and a popular option for flooring, furniture, and more.
Sydney Blue Gum is the perfect combination of strength, durability, pest resistance (it naturally resists termites), and aesthetics due to it's beautiful grain pattern. It is very dense and sturdy, which allows you to sand and polish its boards over its lifetime for a complete refresh.
It has limited disadvantages, although it can be more expensive than other flooring options such as vinyl or hybrid.
Many of our flooring options make excellent DIY projects due to their built-in installation systems. Check out our useful installation guides to learn more about installing your new flooring on your own.

Maintenance and cleaning is easy. Simply sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and grit, as these can scratch the surface. For deeper cleaning, use a damp mop with a mild detergent specifically designed for timber floors. Always avoid using excessive water, as it can damage the wood.
It's also advisable to place protective pads under furniture to prevent scratches. For long-term care, consider resealing the floors every few years to maintain their lustre and protect against wear.
Sydney Blue Gum has a Janka rating of 9.0kN, which indicates its density and durability. As a hardwood, Sydney Blue Gum is ideal for flooring because it will last long after installation.
