Tasmanian oak flooring is made from three related species of hardwood trees, including mountain ash (Eucalyptus regnans), messmate (Eucalyptus obliqua), and alpine ash (Eucalyptus delegatensis.) These three Eucalypts have similar timber styles and hardiness. Nicknamed ‘Tasmanian’ oak due to their sourcing in Tasmania, this timber is harder than teak and works well with stain. In some areas of Australia, it may be marketed under other names.
Spotted gum has gained populaTasmanian oak is considered one of the best flooring choices due to its resilience, long-lasting qualities, and resistance to water and sunlight. This timber has a middle-range hardiness that allows it to be easily workable without deteriorating.
However, Tasmanian oak is prone to expanding when it is not properly acclimated. Exposure to too much moisture can be detrimental if it is not done well before installation. Also, Tasmanian oak is not as naturally dense or hardy as other Australian varieties, such as Spotted Gum and Blackbutt.

Tasmanian oak is considered a hardwood with a decent resilience. However, at 5.5 on the Janka scale, Tasmanian oak is one of the lighter hardwoods used for flooring. The benefit of this lighter-density timber is that it is easy to work, unlike harder timbers. It is a popular choice to be fashioned into cabinets and tables due to its workable quality.
Light and airy in colour, Tasmanian oak typically varies from straw-yellow to reddish brown. Intermediate shades move from cream to pink. Unlike some hardwood varieties, solid timber Tasmanian oak will not fade to a darker colour as it ages.
In the flooring industry, Tasmanian oak is known for its staining qualities. This timber takes stain well without many problems, which makes it simple to ready match with other timber types, furnishings, and finishes.
Tasmanian oak will not look the same if you compare it across all flooring collections and types. Colour variations arise depending on the exact species used for the material. Synthetic flooring options, such as hybrid flooring, may choose to highlight a reddish-brown style or a cream style depending on their preference.
Because the trees used to create Tasmanian oak flooring have straight trunks, you can expect a straight-grained look. Tasmanian oak is a popular option for fans of blonde woods with a uniform appearance. This timber can be turned into high-quality solid timber but is also easily replicated into synthetic flooring options due to its beautiful colouring.
Tasmanian oak, of course, is a common choice for flooring due to its pleasant blonde variations and straight grain. This timber is also used in parquetry, cabinetry, sub-flooring, skirting boards, and tables. It is easily worked, making more intricate cuts possible.
With its colour variation, Tasmanian oak is a versatile flooring style. You can look for designs that lean more towards cream, straw-coloured for farmhouse décor. Or you can warm up interior spaces with more pink or reddish-brown shades. Besides colour variation, this timber is a versatile option for flooring in general. It holds up well to traffic and has decent natural resistance to sunlight and water.
