Blackbutt flooring FAQ
- Will blackbutt darken over time?
- Yes, like most timbers it will amber slightly with UV. Choosing matte, UV-stable coatings and using blinds in high-sun rooms helps keep a consistent tone.
- Is blackbutt suitable for kitchens?
- With quality finishes and prompt spill clean-ups, engineered or solid blackbutt performs well in kitchens. We add mats near sinks and dishwashers to protect high-moisture spots.
- What about staircases?
- Solid blackbutt or engineered boards with matching nosings deliver a seamless look. We scribe edges for a tight fit and specify slip-rated finishes.
- How do you maintain it?
- Use PH-neutral cleaners, felt pads on furniture, and regular vacuuming. Light buff and recoat extends life; deeper sanding is possible on thicker wear layers.
