Essence has been inspired by Australia from the ground up. This collection of six new solid colours draws from the raw, quiet beauty of the land. Each one reflects a sense of place, rooted in earth, shaped by time, softened by nature. From coastal edges and sunburnt plains to cultural stories and aerial impressions, the names evoke a grounded elegance.
Colours for any surface
Essence speaks to polytec’s earthy, refined palette and the textures of Australia’s natural terrain; subtle, timeless, and deeply connected to country. These new colours include Nomad, Solara, Wild Clay, Wispwood, Dawnshade and Lightstone and are all available in 16mm Decorative Board all in a Matt finish, along with two colours in our commercial large sheet size range.

Naturally Essence
Thoughtfully curated to complement polytec’s broader decorative surface palette, Essence was created to work seamlessly with existing solid colours, timberprints and stone-inspired finishes. The collection has been especially considered alongside the Boston Oak colourways, offering soft, grounded solids that balance the warmth, texture and natural movement of oak.
Together, they allow designers to build layered interior schemes with depth and cohesion, from subtle tonal palettes to richer, more expressive combinations. Warm, versatile and connected to the natural world, Essence brings a refined Australian sensibility to contemporary cabinetry, joinery and interior spaces.
