Colour

One of the first things to consider in your timber selection process, is colour. Ironwood Australia have over 50 timber species to choose from, providing a broad range of colour variations across the 3 main spectrums of creams, browns and reds.

Fundamental Questions

Before you make your choice, we help you answer some fundamental questions about the colour of the timber you're after.

For example:

Q - What if I want a timber with uniform colour?

A - For uniform colours, particular species are used.

Q - Does the timber colour vary in the tree?

A - The larger the tree, the deeper the colour. Also, timber from closer to the bark will be lighter than timber from the centre of the tree.

Q - Can I rely on the name of the tree for its colour?

A - The name of the species doesn't necessarily reflect the colour, eg. Grey Ironbark refers to the colour of the bark - the wood itself varies and includes shades of creams through to reds.

Selection

Here's a selection of our species on offer in each of the main colour ranges:

CREAM - Blackbutt, Kauri, Baltic, Mountain Ash, Tallowood, Tassie Oak

RED - Jarrah, Sydney Blue Gum, Queensland Ironbark, Red Mahogany, Rose Gum, Flooded Gum

RED to BROWN - Brushbox, Turpentine

CREAM to RED to BROWN - Grey Ironbark, NSW North Coast Spotted Gum

We take colour selection seriously from the very first moment. After all, the colour remains long after the moment fades.
