Lyptus – Renewable and Sustainable

Lyptus hardwood products are an excellent option when selecting an exotic species grown to sustainable forest certification standards. Offering all of the benefits expected of a tropical hardwood, Lyptus hardwood is ideal for cabinetry, millwork, furniture and flooring applications.

Lyptus Characteristics

Lyptus compares favorably to maple in terms of density, strength and technical properties; arguably has similar appearance to that of cherry and/or mahogany. Lyptus, though, holds its own as a good cabinet wood. Developed for quick harvesting and grown on plantations in Brazil, Lyptus is marketed as an environmentally responsible timber since it’s plantation grown.

As a plantation grown wood, use of Lyptus does not deplete old growth forests, which are regarded as valuable havens for biodiversity. Lyptus’s fast growth rate ensures that supply stays high, and keeps costs low. The plantation environment also allows for precise control of soil chemistry, tree spacing, and other factors affecting growth, resulting in the highest quantity of quality wood from the smallest space.

Our manufacturer Showplace offers a variety of Lyptus cabinets from which to choose.
