Choosing a Non-Toxic Engineered Wood Floor

Engineered wood floors are less expensive than solid hardwood floors, so they're a great choice if you're on a budget. However, it's important to be aware of the differences between your options.

Engineered eucalyptus flooring is the most common type of non-solid flooring, and it's made up of multiple layers. The top layer of an engineered wood floor is usually a hardwood like maple, with a layer of low-density fiberboard (LDF) or particle board underneath that provides support for the board above. A subfloor can also be added to provide extra support for the top layer.

While this type of flooring is strong, durable and long lasting, it does have some limitations. One main issue is that it isn't very resistant to moisture and water damage caused by leaks and spills. It's also not good for areas with high humidity or moisture levels, because it will expand and contract when exposed to changes in temperature and humidity levels.

Most eucalyptus hardwood floors are also more eco-friendly than other types of engineered wood floors because they're made from plantation eucalyptus trees which are harvested sustainably and replanted when they're cut down. This means that you don't have to worry about your flooring.

Bamboo is one of the most popular flooring materials today, but it isn't the only eco-friendly option available. Eucalyptus hardwood floors are also a great alternative. In fact, eucalyptus wood is stronger and more durable than hardwoods such as maple, cherry and oak.

Eucalyptus is a highly renewable resource. Depending on the species, eucalyptus trees can be harvested in seven to 35 years. Because of this, eucalyptus can grow rapidly without depleting the soil or harming the land.

Although many people assume that bamboo flooring is the best green flooring option available, eucalyptus is actually a better choice for environmentally conscious homeowners because:

Eucalyptus trees grow faster and require fewer resources to cultivate than bamboo.Eucalyptus trees are harvested from plantation forests where they are replanted after harvesting to ensure continued forest growth. This means that eucalyptus trees do not need to be harvested from natural forests, which helps protect wildlife habitats.
