Eucalyptus Flooring

Strand Eucalyptus Floors are 3X Harder Than Traditional Wood, Affordable, and Renewable

What is Eucalyptus Flooring?

It’s flooring made from the wood of the eucalyptus tree – a fact that should surprise no one with even the faintest grip on language. They have become much more common in the past few years and are featured in homes, offices, shops, and restaurants all over the world.

Some fast facts about the eucalyptus tree:

Types of Eucalyptus Flooring

Traditional eucalyptus hardwood floors are beautiful in their own right, but are not as hard or affordable as the eucalyptus flooring that we sell. Our strand woven solid eucalyptus floors are composed of strands of eucalyptus that are pressed together under very high pressure and heat - causing the wood fibers to fuse into a gorgeous plank that's many times harder than regular eucalyptus and has a much more interesting grain. They come in either tongue and groove or click lock versions and are suitable for installation on above as well as below grade.

Due to its incredible hardness, stranded eucalyptus wood flooring is ideal for families with active lifestyles and pets or children. The patterns and marbling formed by the compression process create beautiful and distinct patterns on the floor.

Differences Between Wood, Bamboo, and Eucalyptus Floors

Much like bamboo floors, eucalyptus strand woven floors are many times harder than traditional hardwood flooring. The main difference between the bamboo and solid eucalyptus flooring is aesthetic - in eucalyptus you see the knots of the eucalyptus tree (small round marks), whereas in bamboo you see the nodes of the bamboo culms. Other than that, there's really no difference between bamboo and eucalyptus wood flooring. Eucalyptus and bamboo are both installed and maintained the same as traditional hardwood floors, and they are very easy to maintain and clean.

Extremely Hard And Rapidly Renewable

Strand Woven Eucalyptus flooring looks like a fine tropical mahogany, but it's more than twice as hard as red oak and it boasts all the eco-friendly benefits of a quickly renewable hardwood. When you choose eucalyptus, you’re not only making a great choice for your home, but you’re also making a great choice for the environment. The eucalyptus can re-grow in as little as 3-4 years at which time it is harvested for optimum hardness and maturity. This allows us to control the dimensional stability so that the floors don't experience problems during seasonal cycles.

Eucalyptus is known for its toughness and ability to resist dents, making eucalyptus hardwood floors an excellent choice – thanks to its durability, you can rest assured knowing your floor will hold up through the years no matter what life throws your way.

At Ambient® we harvest all of our eucalyptus from well-managed forests in Southern China. China holds the world's second-largest planting of eucalyptus (after Brazil), as a result of widespread planting in the 1960's. China is notable for its vast land and varied geographical climates that provide optimal growing conditions for eucalyptus and bamboo.
