Spotted Gum, one of Australia's most iconic native hardwoods (Corymbia maculata), features a striking, dynamic appearance with colours ranging from pale grey-brown to deep chocolate, often displaying wavy or interlocked grain and occasional fiddleback for visual drama. Extremely dense, tough, and naturally durable, it offers outstanding strength, fire resistance, and wear performance—ideal for high-traffic staircases in coastal and subtropical climates. Perfect for full stair systems including treads, risers, handrails, and balustrades, Spotted Gum adds bold character and unmatched longevity to modern Australian homes.
