Jarrah Timber Floors

This month’s feature timber is Jarrah Timber Floors. Jarrah has been used for many years in construction and housing in Western Australia. It is a very traditional floorboard. Consequently, a lot of old houses have Jarrah laying hidden underneath carpets. In addition to this, Jarrah continues to be a favourite choice for new floorboards.  There are good reasons why this gorgeous timber has stood the test of time. Read on for more information about this popular timber: Jarrah Timber Floors

Jarrah Timber Floors Features:

  • Sourced in Western Australia
  • Has a Janka Hardness rating of 8.5kn (considered hard)
  • Characterised by its rich red/brown colour
  • It’s darker colouring creates a very warm atmosphere
  • However, this darker colouring can make smaller/darker areas appear closed in 
  • Feature grade Jarrah timber can be priced as low as $43.50/metre square but may go up to almost $70/metre square for higher grade timber (note these prices are for the timber only, prices may vary due to timber availability and other factors). 
  • High fire resistance and durable timber.
  • Classic timber floor finish.

The above features explain why Jarrah Timber Floors have remained so popular. This popularity has resulted in New Age Timber Floors having a lot of experience sanding and polishing these floorboards.
