Frequently Asked Questions
What makes hardwood more durable than softwood?
Hardwoods grow slower and develop denser fibres, giving them greater strength and resistance to wear. This makes them better suited to structural, high-impact or outdoor use. While softwoods are easier to cut, hardwoods offer better long-term performance with less maintenance.
Is all hardwood suitable for exterior applications?
Not all species perform equally outside. Durable hardwoods like Ironbark, Spotted Gum and Tallowwood naturally resist moisture, rot and insects, making them ideal for decks, fences and exposed beams. Timber must also be properly seasoned and finished to protect it over time.
Do hardwoods require special tools or techniques?
Due to their density, hardwoods often need pre-drilling and sharp, high-quality tools. Fasteners should be corrosion-resistant, and spacing is important to allow for expansion and contraction. Experienced trades will be familiar with best practices for working with Australian hardwoods.
Can hardwoods be left untreated?
Yes—many hardwoods will age to a natural grey patina if left unfinished. While this doesn’t affect structural performance, regular sealing or oiling helps maintain colour and protect against surface wear. For high-traffic or aesthetic applications, a protective finish is generally recommended.
