About the Spotted Gum look

Spotted Gum is one of Australia's most recognisable hardwoods, with warm mid-brown with subtle grey and chocolate streaks. A quintessentially Australian look. Spotted Gum's flowing grain and warm, variegated brown tones make it the default choice for projects that want to feel unmistakably local.

Where it works best

This finish is especially well suited to facades and fences that want a warm, natural Australian hardwood character. Because it is available across our cladding, battens, screens and linings, you can carry the Spotted Gum look right through a project for a unified result.

The aluminium advantage

Unlike the timber it imitates, the Spotted Gum finish is sublimated into a baked powder coat on marine-grade aluminium. It holds its colour under the Australian sun, will not warp, rot or split, and is non-combustible - the look of Spotted Gum timber with none of the upkeep.

See it in person

Photographs only tell part of the story. Request a physical sample of the Spotted Gum finish and view it in your own light, against your own materials, before you decide. Visit our Spotted Gum finish page for more detail.
