Fiddleback Australian Hardwood
Introducing our unique Fiddleback Engineered Australian Hardwood flooring range, it’s available in the ever-popular Spotted Gum and Blackbutt Australian timbers. Fiddleback wear layers combine the classic features and characteristics of our Australian Eucalyptus timbers bonded onto a plywood multi-layer core for enhanced in-service stability. Range includes Standard & Better ABC grade and Rustic Brushed that brings a little outdoor nature into your living room.
The Fiddleback Engineered Australian Hardwood flooring range is not suitable for installation over any type of underfloor heating.
Please note: our current supply of 189mm Fiddleback Smooth & Rustic Matte are a very light colour (Blonde – Straw) with occasional dark planks. The stock is much lighter than store samples & the occasional dark plank requires careful install blending. Please confirm colour visual with your supplier prior to purchase.
