Messmate overlay flooring is a popular Australian hardwood with natural character. The heartwood is pale to light brown with a soft pink tinge. The sapwood is pale yellow and stands out against the heartwood.

The timber has a moderately coarse but even texture. Its grain can interlock, adding variation to each board. Gum veins are common and give the flooring a unique look.

Messmate is ideal for builders, renovators, and designers who want a warm and natural Australian timber floor.
