Red Timbers in Bangalow

<p class="rteBlock">For those who want a touch of luxury and sophistication, the Forest Red species is perfect. These red timbers are sourced from numerous locations all over the Australian east coast. The colour palette ranges from soft pinks to deep reds and dark browns with a touch of gold or bronze throughout. The grains are tightly knit, with strong gum veins and pockets, knots and other unique markings.</p>

<p class="rteBlock">If you want a durable and bold red timber, the Red Mahogany species is a great choice. With a Janka Hardness Rating of 12, there aren’t many red timbers that can match up while still holding such a beautiful colour palette. While the colour range is not that great, it’s the depth of the colour matched with the light grain and small streaks that make this such a beautiful hardwood. This species works great for large rooms and specialised flooring patterns.</p>

<p class="rteBlock">The Red Ironbark species is another extremely durable hardwood with a Janka Hardness Rating of 14—known to be among the hardest timber species available commercially. While it is tough, it still has a gorgeous colour palette with colours ranging from deep reds to browns with the sapwood variant showing pale yellows throughout. The Red Ironbark species can be found in Victoria, to the western slopes of NSW and in Southern Queensland.</p>

<p class="rteBlock">Found all over Australia, the WA Jarrah &amp; Karri species is one of the most spectacular red timbers we offer. The colour palette is absolutely stunning with a range from deep reds and oranges to blondes and burgundies. The texture is medium-coarse with a wavy grain and some interlocking, creating unique fiddle-back features and patterns.</p>

<p class="rteBlock">Looking for a fairly clean, fine-grained red timber? The Turpentine species is found along the east coast of Australia in Bateman’s Bay up to Cooktown in North Queensland. This hardwood has a Janka Hardness Rating of 12. It is a beautiful red timber with fine to medium grain lines and a rich colour palette ranging from deep reds to browns, with the sapwood species being a little paler.</p>

<p class="rteBlock">Found along the coast of NSW and Southern Queensland, the Bluegum species has a Janka Hardness Rating of 9.0. Coming in two variants, the Heartwood ranges from deep pinks to reds and browns, while the Sapwood is noticeably lighter. It has a fairly straight grain with some interlocking and a rough texture and a few gum veins visible throughout.</p>

<p class="rteBlock">The Rosegum red timber species can be found in the Southern Queensland and a few lesser-known locations to the west of Queensland. With colour tones ranging from pink and red to brown, this is a great option for creating luxurious flooring and ceiling patterns. The grain is light, straight, with almost no interlocking and it has a medium-coarse texture. The Janka Hardness rating for the Rosegum species is 7.5, making it one of the softer red timbers we carry.</p>
