Hardwood Maintenance Guide For Australian Conditions

Andrewlope24 Feb, 2026Business

Hardwood performs really well outdoors, but the Australian weather and climate conditions across different regions push it to the edge. Due to constant UV exposure, the surface fibre dries very quickly. Constant salt-laden coastal air accelerates moisture movement that results in premature decay. Inland heat dries the hardwood, leading to rapid expansion and contraction. All these forces work together, and this is why hardwood suppliers and experts from every hardwood company recommend maintenance as a game-changer.
