Eucalyptus Flooring

What is Eucalyptus Flooring?

It’s flooring made from the wood of the eucalyptus tree, which has become much more common in the past few years. At Ambient®, we offer strand-woven flooring 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. The patterns and marbling formed by the compression process create beautiful and distinct patterns on the floor.

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.
