Why is Eucalyptus Flooring is becoming a popular Choice?
When it comes to timber flooring, Eucalyptus is quickly becoming a standout option for homeowners seeking both beauty and sustainability. At Floorboards, we recently installed Amato Blackbutt Eucalyptus Flooring in a new Cambridge home built by the experienced team at eHaus Waikato—a company known for their award-winning passive house builds.
A good choice
Eucalyptus is a rising favourite for timber flooring in New Zealand, offering a unique look with a slim plank width, impressive durability, and an eco-friendly reputation. Sourced from managed Australian forests, it’s a sustainable choice that stands up beautifully to everyday life. The subtle grain and rich tones of Eucalyptus bring a fresh alternative to traditional oak, while the waterproof Amato range means peace of mind in every room.
Style and comfort
The Cambridge home’s owners wanted something different from the oak floors in their previous house. Eucalyptus offered a fresh look, with rich tones and a subtle grain that pairs beautifully with a range of interior styles. The result is a warm, inviting space that feels comfortable year-round—especially important in a passive house, where warmth is maintained even on chilly winter days in Cambridge.
