Red Iron Bark flooring - a Fierce Beauty
This Australian hardwood species - Eucalyptus sideroxylon; Mugga; Ironbark - is a richly colored Australian hardwood, occurring naturally on inland slopes of eastern Australia. It is popular as a flooring species due to its deep, rich, warm colors, its fine interlocking grain texture, and superior strength.
Red Iron Bark flooring is one of the harder woods in the world. As a result, it is highly regarded for its strength, durability and long term performance in a variety of exterior uses and interior uses as flooring.
In fact, this beautiful lady is actually one of the toughest kids on the block! Red Iron Bark's rich, deep, reddish heartwood and paler, contrasting, yellow-ish sapwood colors, give it a depth and warmth that most other flooring woods can't match.
These rich colors of this flooring lend an inviting, classic look to any space, making it a good substitute for Jarrah. Indeed, the scarcity of Jarrah is awakening people to the beautiful colors, strength, and durability of Red Iron Bark flooring.
