Cessnock floors
Cessnock has a unique mix — heritage mining cottages with narrow hardwood boards and newer rural properties with wide-plank spotted gum or blackbutt. The older homes in Cessnock and Kurri Kurri often have ironbark or tallowwood floors that are incredibly hard and durable. These timbers need a sander who knows when to change grits and how to handle the density. The Hunter heat also means solvent poly cures well here and delivers a rock-hard finish.
Which finish for your Cessnock home?
Water-Based
- • Walk on in 2–3 hours
- • Low odour — stay in the house
- • Crystal clear, won't yellow
- • Best for light timbers
Solvent-Based
- • Rich warm amber tone
- • Extremely hard-wearing
- • Ideal for high-traffic homes
- • Traditional look on hardwoods
Not sure? Bairt will walk you through both options on site.
