the New Hurford Roasted Blackbutt Flooring.

used new and recycled timber and flooring in many exciting ways internally
and externally.

Nash Timbers would
like to introduce Tom Lamont, who started in June. Tom left school last
year and he has joined Nash Timbers as a trainee from TABMA. Tom is an avid

First Year at TAFE undertaking Floor Finishing. Tom will be helping David with
measuring and quoting with the installation component of Nash Timbers and
been involved with that part of the business.
The Timber
presentations were heavily supported by our clients, it is nice to be able
to meet the face behind the voice, and we will schedule new dates when the
showroom opens.

F.A.Q
Is Blackbutt
recommended for external use?
Blackbutt is not a
Nash Timbers preferred external timber. If using externally it must be
coated and treated as specified. Blackbutt is Class 2 but Class 1 is the
better option for external use. Blackbutt has more gum veins which allows
for water to penetrate into the timber. Also it does not have the oil content
of Tallowwood and Spotted Gum.
OOPS!
Nash Timbers do not recommend staining Blackbutt
Flooring unless an oil based stain is used; this ensures that tannin will
not be present during the staining process.

‘SECRET OVERLAY’
Hurford Roasted is a process that has been developed to enhance
timber flooring properties. Ultrahigh temperature and humidity to change the
molecular structure of the hardwood and creates an extremely stable, more
durable, denser product while darkening the natural colour.
The colour of the wood fibre changes drastically as the ultrahigh
temperature is introduced- the higher the temperature the darker the change to
colour of the fibre.
The colour change is permanent and penetrates the entire
piece of hardwood
The Hurford Roasted process increases greatly the stability of
flooring. The process reduces the normal shrinkage and swelling that traditional
Kiln Dried hardwood can experience by up to 50%.
The Hurford Roasted process increases the natural durability by 3 to
4 times greater than the same species unroasted.
