Eucalyptus Flooring 101 | Colors & Styles | Ambient®

Traditional eucalyptus hardwood floors are beautiful in their own right, but not as hard or affordable as the type 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 eucalytpus 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 it's incredible hardness, stranded eucalyptus is ideal for families with active lifestyles, pets or children, and the patterns and marbling formed by the compression process create beautiful and distinct patterns on the floor.

Much like bamboo floors, eucalyptus strand woven floors are many times harder than traditional hardwood flooring. The main difference between the bamboo and eualyptus floors 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. Eucalyptus and bamboo are both installed and maintained the same as traditional hardwood floors, and they are very easy to maintain and clean.

Strand eucalyptus floors are typically half the cost of the higher priced traditional wood flooring.  We sell our floors at around $4-$5 per square foot in premium (wide) planks, which is very economical when compared to wide plank wood floors that cost $7 per square foot and up.

The proprietary AccuSeal® Finish System that we use on our floors is a long lasting finish system that uses fewer coatings to allow for more grain clarity, while providing industry-leading abrasion resistance, allowing the beauty of the floor to be easily seen. Your guests will be astonished to find out you received such a high-quality finish at such an affordable price.

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.
