Chestnut is a mellow straw/brown timber, similar in color to traditional Oak, but with far greater strength capabilities. Kiln dried Chestnut is now increasingly specified in applications where beauty, hardness and reliability are required. These durable blended eucalypt species will perform well where the denting resistance is important in the wear and tear of modern lifestyles, such as flooring, joinery and furniture. Chestnut is increasingly gaining recognition as the most beautiful and durable flooring product in Australia.

PRIME GRADE
Typically, prime grade has few, if any knots, and these will be of minimal size. There will also be a minimal amount of sapwood defects and filler, if any at all. Where filler is used its colour is carefully selected to complement the wood rather than to match it exactly, and the colour of the filler may vary from batch to batch. There will be a relatively small amount of colour variation in the timber itself.
