Tasmania is home to some of Australia’s most distinctive timber species. From the pale, understated tones of Tasmanian Oak to the deep reds of Myrtle, different Tasmanian wood types can create remarkably different floors. Many Tasmanian species are also hardwoods with a long history of use in flooring, furniture, joinery and architecture. Hydrowood adds another dimension to that story. Its timber is reclaimed from the forests submerged beneath Lake Pieman on Tasmania's west coast, where trees have remained preserved in the cold, low-oxygen water since the lake was created in the 1980s.
