ORIGINAL AND CLASSY WORMY CHESTNUT FLOORING SERVICE IN MELBOURNE AND SYDNEY
Finally a floor that is befitting the title as the “Great Aussie Battler”. This underdog of the forest has battled its way deep in the south eastern Australian forests. Affected by wildfires, years of drought, attacked by insects, floods and high winds stunting its growth to cope. Each tree is unique showing all the signs of nature’s fury. The deep red gum veins formed by fire, ambrosia beetle marks, pin holes and squiggly worm marks are all evident in the Australian Wormy Chestnut. Also known as Southern Blackbutt or Chestnut this species is a more durable option, requiring minimal maintenance and is a perfect choice for busy lifestyles.
Benefits You Get From Installing Wormy Chestnut Flooring
- Aesthetics – Wormy chestnut comes in a light to medium brown colour that gels well with other wood types in the interior finishing. The coarse, interesting grain pattern on it add to the appeal. Many people welcome the mix of light and medium tones that are available in most types of chestnut. This works to the homeowner’s advantage in creating an interesting appearance that may also help conceal scars and imperfections until cleaning time.
- Sturdy – The wood is excellent for high-traffic locations, like kitchens as they tend to remain stable and well glued to the sub-floor.
- Low maintenance – They are a good-quality, rustic timber that is extremely durable with a Janka Hardness rating at 8.1.
- Resistant – Wormy chestnut is a hardwood, resistant to a large range of pests and insect infestations, and decay
