Spotted Gum OR Blackbutt Hardwood Floor?
Comments (42)Ok here is a photo i just found...This is Queensland Spotted Gum, which is more varient than the NSW Spotted Gum. Friends that have seen it say how gorgeous and different it is...and so so glad we didn't end up going with blackbutt :)...See MoreSpotted Gum Hardwood Timber Floor - 130mm - From Qld or NSW?
Comments (13)I agree with Gallifrey, gloss and no stain is the way to go. Our brush box floors are nearly 20 years old and survived our youngest son rollerblading and riding his trike the length of our house. Yes, it does show dust a bit more, but it is much harder wearing....See MoreMatching laminate floors to hardwood
Comments (8)The cypress pine that you have upstairs is a very distinctive look and I am not familiar with any laminate timber manufacturers doing anything similar in colour and knotiness. This means that you won't find a close match, so I would consider other materials that are completely different. Don't go with a timber-look laminate as it will look really fake compared with the real timber boards that are upstairs. In this photo there are three different flooring materials that are working harmoniously together. There is the clear-stained cypress pine on the lowest level, hardwood treads on the stairs, and slate floor tiles. (If you want to see more photos of this Pettit and Sevitt house then visit: https://secretdesignstudio.com/mr-mrs-modanest-danish-style/ ) Will your ground floor be on a slab, or on stumps? If you are on a slab then consider tiles, polished concrete or carpet. For your stair treads consider polished timber treads. Remember that tiles and polished concrete will last forever if correctly laid, whereas carpet and timber laminate flooring have a limited lifespan as they are much less durable.

Comments (4)Hi I’ve done floor sanding and coating timber floors for over 25 years so can explain the differences between finishes Solvent based is possibly still the most common finish used on floors in Melbourne. It’s very durable has high chemical resistance and is the most cost effective finish. Negatives are has strong solvent smell and prone to yellowing over time Available in Matt satin and gloss. Waterbased finishes range greatly in durability depending on what type you get.(not what brand) Single pack WB finishes are the cheapest least durable are also prone to yellowing over time although they are classified as non yellowing, I feel this is misleading. They also have a low chemical resistance to household spills. 2pk Wb finishes are far more durable and some are as much as 3.5x more durable than the same branded single pack. Some of the top quality WB are also unaffected by by u.v. This is particularly important with lighter toned or white washed floors. Other advantages of WB is low odour and are available in ultra flat Matt finishes. Hope this helps....See MorePatricia Colwell Consulting
