Sustainable Choice for Premium Flooring

At Marchand Flooring, we believe that your home should reflect your values. That's why we're passionate about offering flooring solutions that are not only beautiful and durable but also environmentally responsible. We're proud of our choice to include eucalyptus plywood into our engineered flooring (as opposed to birch or black popular), a sustainable alternative that surpasses traditional sustainable options like bamboo in numerous ways.

Why Eucalyptus Stands Out for our ply for a sustainable choice:

We understand that sustainability shouldn't mean compromising on quality. That's why we've chosen eucalyptus plywood as a cornerstone of our engineered flooring. Let's delve into the compelling reasons:


1. Hardwood-Like Strength & Durability: Sustainability Without Compromise

  • Eucalyptus is a true hardwood, naturally robust and resilient. Unlike bamboo, which is technically a grass and requires extensive processing to achieve comparable strength, eucalyptus offers inherent durability.


2. Less Processing & Adhesives: Fewer Chemicals, More Nature

  • Our eucalyptus plywood & European oak utilises the natural strength of the wood, minimizing the need for excessive glues and resins. This results in a "purer" product with lower VOC emissions, contributing to a healthier home environment.

3. FSC-Certified Plantation Growth: Sustainably Grown, Responsibly Harvested—Certified for a Better Planet

  • We source all our timber from FSC-certified plantations, ensuring responsible forestry practices that protect biodiversity and promote environmental health. This commitment to sustainable sourcing sets us apart.

  • ✅ Minimize environmental impact

    ✅ Support biodiversity

    ✅ Promote soil health

    ✅ Reduce carbon footprint


    4. The Beauty of Nature, The Power of Innovation 

    Beyond sustainability, our 14mm eucalyptus plywood provides exceptional stability, preventing cupping, splitting, or bowing. This ensures long-lasting performance while seamlessly combining timeless elegance with eco-conscious craftsmanship.


Discover the difference

From the forest to your floor:

  • Fast-Growing & Renewable: Reaching maturity in just 5-10 years, eucalyptus reduces pressure on slower-growing forests.

  • Responsibly Sourced & Certified: Our FSC-certified plantations prioritize environmental impact, biodiversity, and soil health.

  • Sustainable Production Process: Eucalyptus's ability to regenerate through coppicing minimizes the need for replanting.

  • Exceptional Stability: Preventing cupping, splitting, and bowing, ensuring long-lasting performance.
