Grades available

Boral Silkwood is available in two grades. Grades represent the visual characteristics of the timber and are not to be confused with structural qualities.

Australiana Grade
Australiana Grade is carefully graded to include the most interesting and moderate natural features to enhance the look of a timber floor. Some of the features could include beautiful variations in colour and grain, of our native Australian hardwoods by highlighting selective gum veins, spirals, burls, insect trails and other natural variations that give timbers floors a unique character. It has been carefully graded to showcase a subtle amount of character and colour differentiation that makes every timber floor unique.

Natural Grade
Boral Silkwood is also available, as a special order, in Natural grade which has a high level of natural feature and may contain some finish imperfections. (Boral Silkwood Natural Grade products are subject to availability)
