Grey Gum in Mid North Coast homes
Grey Gum is one of the most commonly sanded Australian hardwoods in Mid North Coast. Its pale red to red-brown heartwood and a dense durable grain make it well-suited to the local climate, and it responds predictably to standard floor sanding grits and finishes.
The Mid North Coast from Forster to Coffs Harbour has a growing floor sanding trade. Older coastal homes and renovation activity keep contractors busy across the region.
Recommended finish for Grey Gum
Grey Gum tolerates both water-based and solvent coatings.
For heritage and older homes with patina, many contractors in Mid North Coast recommend a light recut and oil finish rather than a full sand-back. This preserves character while protecting the timber.
