Lyptus
We offer most of our 5 piece solid wood doors in Lyptus®. Lyptus is a very hard, dense wood that looks much like Mahogany it is a hybrid tree derived from the eucalyptus species. These plantation grown trees grow quickly and may be harvested within 14 - 16 years of planting. Lyptus® forests are 11 times more productive on a per hectare per year basis when compared to a temperate forest, which may take 80 to 100 years or more to mature. Lyptus® forests also produce 30 times the volume of lumber per hectare per year when compared to an unmanaged temperate forest. Virtually every portion of the log is utilized, converting it to lumber and other usable by-products; residuals are used as bio-energy for the kiln drying operations. |
