The Clean Look of Brush Box Makes Great Flooring

brushbox timber floorsBrush box as timber flooring is very popular because of its beautiful hues, smooth texture and long wear. Its heartwood ranges from reddish brown to lighter shades. It could even wear a pinkish grey color. Its even texture is characterized by fine interlocking grains. This is perhaps its greatest attribute, making it very suitable for flooring. By staining and polishing it, its attractiveness shines through. However, its natural wax ingredient may offer adhesion concerns with a number of solvent based floor finishes. Arjunolic acid is the reason for the tree’s natural waxiness.



The Brush Box tree is a large hardwood commonly found in New South Wales in the central coast all the way up to Bowen, Queensland. It prefers the damp areas of the forest so it grows mostly on the edge of the rainforests. It is well-suited to wet conditions which is why it can also be found in the transition area of the hardwood and rainforest.



Brush Box or Lophostemon confertus is identified by its bark, which is characterized by a fibrous and scaly lower trunk with a fine and usually pinkish upper bark particularly on the branches. Its leaves are of a bright green hue. You would often see them as street trees in the residential district of Sydney.



It has a clean look with no traces of gum veins or pin holes. In seasoning the wood, substantial movement is usually noticed because of its interlocking grains. It also contains a good deal of silica, making it difficult to manage using a machine.



In many occasions, Brush Box is difficult to obtain. However, it is still a popular choice for flooring. Since it is categorized as moderately durable, it can be used for external purposes with conditions. Other than flooring, it has been used in heavy engineering, paneling and cladding among many other applications.



The Brush Box has truly contributed immensely to the timber industry because it is sought after by many homeowners who want the beautiful properties of this hardwood for their floors.
