I only came across this from the internet and quite like the colour.
I am just scratching my head on timber colour. The colour varies A LOT from different pics. See below.

Even going into different showrooms, some blackbutt are light, some are darker. This is driving me crazy.

Its your lucky day I actually have the picture (cut from a magazine with two other pics of the same house). You can see the flooring very clearly. The colour of the wood is similar to blackbutt but its in short thin strips. I must admit it does have a laminate look to it but the house is a water front property so I doubt it is.

The first pic is closer to blackbutt with a water-based finish Engineering timber is certainly a less fuss option, times cheaper to supply and install and better withstands humidity. 1 15884 Thanks Simon, I guess I'm no concerned with the volume of the noise rather that dead and hollow sound and feel that is associated with floating floors.
