Why LYPTUS®?

1) Aesthetic Reasons - Lyptus® is beautiful and comparable to Mahogany and Cherry in appearance.
2) Environmental Features - Few hardwoods have as strong an environmental performance as Lyptus®.
3) Availability - Unlike most certified and/or plantation-grown hardwoods, Lyptus® is readily available.
4) Cost - Even if the client is not looking for an "eco-wood", Lyptus® is a value engineering option compared against genuine Mahogany and domestic Cherry
5) Total Package - The wide range of Lyptus® products (lumber, flooring, veneer) allows architects to get exactly the type of look the client is looking for.
