 Lyptus® hardwood products have received overwhelming praise among professionals for their workability, machining properties, density, finish ability, overall strength and exotic appeal. Available in a variety of grades of lumber, plywood and veneer it is an ideal hardwood for cabinetry, millwork, furniture and flooring.
Lyptus® Eucalyptus trees are grown on plantations certified to Brazil’s national sustainable forestry standard, CERFLOR. This standard has been mutually recognized by the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), an international organization that endorses credible sustainable forestry programs.
Eucalyptus trees grow quickly and may be harvested within 14-16 years of planting. Because plantation trees are manually pruned during their growing years, logs coming into the mill are more uniform and have fewer knots than those that grow naturally. This results in a high conversion rate of logs to clear lumber. Like Weyerhaeuser mills in the United States, the Brazil mill uses virtually every portion of the log, converting it not only to lumber and by-products but using residuals as bio-energy to fuel the mill.
Lyptus® wood products offer excellent quality, remarkable beauty and environmental attributes, making them an excellent choice when selecting an eco-sensitive, exotic hardwood species.
Lyptus® hardwood flooring is beautiful, versatile, and durable. A premium hardwood that represents a new concept in forest management, Lyptus® wood comes from fast-growing eucalyptus trees that thrive in Brazil’s climate. In that climate, they will grow to harvest size in approximately 14 to 16 years—two to three times faster than comparable hardwood species in colder climates.
Lyptus® wood is grown on well-managed plantations, with one-third of the plantation preserved as native vegetation to help maintain areas of the natural ecosystem. Many of the second generation eucalyptus trees are grown from the stump of the original trees— which helps minimize the disturbance of the land.
So, you can be confident that you are making a smart environmental choice and getting a quality product from a dependable source of supply.
Praised for exceptional workability, machining properties, density, and strength, Lyptus® flooring also adds aesthetic appeal and endurance to your floors.
Whether you are using Lyptus® premium hardwood flooring throughout your home or only in selected areas, the warmth of natural wood enhances the style and feel of any living space.
