Natural Australian Jarrah
Sourced from the forests of Western Australia, Australian Jarrah is one of the country’s most iconic and enduring hardwood species. Predominantly grown in the south-west region of the state, Jarrah is renowned for its strength, durability, and unmistakable depth of colour.
Its natural tones range from rich deep pinks and warm burgundy hues through to subtle purple undertones, creating a striking yet sophisticated palette. Over time, Jarrah matures beautifully, developing added warmth and depth that enhances both contemporary and traditional interiors.
Jarrah has played a significant role in Australia’s architectural history. It was widely used in structural beams, flooring, and joinery throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in heritage buildings across Perth and regional Western Australia. Notable examples include elements within the historic precincts of Fremantle, as well as infrastructure and public buildings from the gold rush era. Jarrah was also famously exported to the United Kingdom and used in road paving blocks in London due to its exceptional durability.
Today, Natural Australian Jarrah continues this legacy — offering designers an authentic, locally sourced timber veneer that brings strength, richness, and unmistakable Australian character to any project.

About & Applications
Availability: Good availability
Price zone: Slightly above average
Applications: Suitable for interior, dry, low/medium-wear applications, vertical and low/medium-wear horizontal applications such as wall panelling, interior doors, furniture, ceiling panels, table- and desk-tops. It should not be used for high wear areas such as floors, stair treads, counter-tops exposed to heavy wear/water and kitchen counter-tops. Not suitable for use in high humidity, wet, steamy or damp conditions such as vanity tops, splash-backs or above stoves and dishwashers. Do not use in exterior applications, areas exposed to temperatures above 60 degrees C nor areas around stoves and fireplaces. Note that the appearance of veneer will change over time due to direct and indirect light, and exposure to heat and air. Some logs or leaves of veneer may age differently to other logs/leaves of the same species. Keep out of direct sunlight. As it is not possible to cover all associated manufacturing materials, conditions, products and methods, the end-user is responsible for carrying out the necessary tests and trials to check that the veneer, coating type, fabrication methods, associated materials and cleaning products/methods are suitable for the application.
