Eucalyptus Floors

We have discussed bamboo, reclaimed woods and many other flooring types, and here is another one to add to your collective flooring pile. We found Duro Flooring and their line of European Eucalyptus Woods as another sustainable option for innovative flooring. The line is grown from FSC certified forests in Europe and treated with 12 different premium German and Swiss pigments to give them their rich hues. Low VOC Urethane seals the wood, which can then be nailed or glued, just like conventional wood flooring. Duro also offers cork, bamboo and engineered oak options to complete their sustainable offerings.
