Ranging in colour from blonde to darkest brown, timber can look either streamlined and contemporary or traditional and welcoming. Its beauty is matched by its durability, which makes it a particularly good choice of floor covering. But selecting the best style of timber for a particular project can be a difficult task. Floorboards must be carefully chosen according to the type of sub-floor they'll sit over, and must complement the size and style of the room. There are now more than 30 Australian and imported species on show, including new room settings to enable designers, clients and builders to make an informed decision on what timber best suits their needs. In addition to the traditional 80mm flooring, Tait Timber offers a collection of wide board (130mm x 19mm) and the new 'Plank" range - 180mm x 21mm planks accurately machined and kiln dried. Available in Red and Grey Ironbark, Spotted Gum, Aussie beech, Blackbutt, Stringbark and US Oak, these new flooring timbers now offer unique design options.

Boral Timber is committed to a Renewable Resource.

Timber is one of the world's few truly renewable natural resources.

In Australia, Boral nurture and protect this valuable resource through a rigorous framework of both Commonwealth and State laws and regulations.

Before harvesting is even considered, independent assessments will determine the environmental, heritage, economic and social values of the forest - including the creation of an adequate and representative reserve system that covers all forest types.

Strict government guidelines apply to all harvesting operations - from the selection of those trees to be harvested and the avoiding of environmentally sensitive areas such as endangered species habitat or scenic and recreation areas prone to soil erosion and the rehabilitation of harvested sites.

Within this framework, you can be assured that the native hardwood you buy from Boral Timber is sourced from a forest that is sustainably managed. In fact, Boral Timber's industry is still one of the few major land users in Australia that can demonstrate compliance with the principles of Ecologically Sustainable Development.
