Grades available

There are two grades of Silkwood hardwood engineered floor available in the market.

Australiana Grade
Australiana grade is subtle feature grade of timber flooring which showcases the features of our native Australian hardwoods. It has been carefully graded, board  by board, by Boral's highly trained manufacturing team to ensure that it meets Boral's strict quality standards and showcases a subtle amount of character that makes every timber floor unique.

Natural Grade
Natural grade is distinguished by highlighting selective gum veins, spirals, burls, insect trails and other natural variations that give timber floors a unique character as individual as a signature. This grade is a visual chronicle of forest history including bush fires, floods, drought, insect travels and the natural variation that appear in the grain of Australian native hardwoods. Natural is carefully graded to include the most interesting variations and distinctive timber markings to enhance the look of a timber floor.
 

Easy installation
Silkwood Engineered Flooring can be installed directly over the top of any hard, flat surface. Silkwood would usually be installed as a floating floor but can be glued directly to the subfloor. Whether floating or gluing Silkwood, we recommend using our range of approved accessories and following our installation guidelines.
