Tallowwood: An Eco-Friendly Choice For Your Home

Tallowwood is a popular Australian hardwood, preferred for its appealing natural aesthetics and durability. The hardwood is found in abundance in the eastern regions of Australia. Tallowwood is also known as Spotted Gum or Beefwood. Due to its beauty and unique features, hardwood is a perfect choice for both residential and commercial infrastructure. 

Reasons Why You Must Go For Tallowwood Flooring 

When it comes to creating stunning flooring that will last for years, Tallowwood is the perfect choice. Its rich colour options, which range from golden brown to different hues of red, combined with gum veins, create an impressive natural look in any area, be it a commercial or residential property. The hardwood not only creates a stunning look but also makes an exceptionally strong and durable material for high-traffic areas of commercial properties and busy households. Tallowwood is certified with a Janka hardness rating (the Janka hardness test was created by Austrian-born American researcher Gabriel Janka and measures the resistance of a sample wood to denting and wear), making the hardwood a preferred choice for areas that witness a lot of activity. Also, the hardwood’s resistance to termites and pests offers long-lasting protection and functionality. 

Tallowwood Timber Creates A Perfect Low-Maintenance Outdoor Oasis

When you wish to transform the exterior of your residence into a breathtaking retreat for yourself and your family, Tallowwood makes an ideal choice for outdoor areas. The rich and warm tones of Tallowwood seamlessly blend with any outdoor setup, creating a stunning, relaxed atmosphere for areas ranging from modern patios to traditional gardens. Tallowwood is capable of withstanding the harsh Australian climate, which includes intense sunny days and heavy rain. Its weather-resistant capacity helps you keep your deck beautiful and functional in all weather conditions. When it comes to maintaining the hardwood, it is quite easy. With minimal regular cleaning and maintenance, you can keep your deck looking pleasant and pristine. Also, the hardwood comes with slip-resistant features, which add safety and security to your home environment for families and pets to enjoy. 

Different Uses Of Tallowwood 

Tallowwood is such a versatile hardwood that it can be an excellent choice for different applications. This includes creating different types of furniture, cabinetry, and even custom woodwork. Its versatile application, aesthetic feel, durability, and eco-friendly nature make it a preferred material for enhancing any infrastructure.
