Eucalyptus Versus Bamboo Flooring, Which Is More Eco?
Eucalyptus and bamboo flooring are two of the most popular sustainable options for home or office floors. They are both strong, durable and eco-friendly. But which one is better? Eucalyptus Flooring is a beautiful product that can add warmth, character and function to any home. It is highly durable with a thinner kerf width than oak making it easy to install. Eucalyptus is naturally resistant to moisture and insects which makes it a very eco-friendly flooring option. Bamboo's biggest advantage is that it grows much faster than eucalyptus trees. Bamboo has a higher density than eucalyptus, which means it doesn't need to be milled as much to become usable. That also means bamboo doesn't have to be transported as far as eucalyptus in order to be used in flooring products. In addition, bamboo takes less water to grow compared to eucalyptus trees. However, some of this advantage may be negated by the fact that bamboo has been shown to require more pesticides than eucalyptus. B
