EcoSport™ -- The Environmentally
Friendly Flooring! There are
approximately 10 million hectares (241 acres) of rubber tree plantations worldwide and
almost all are found in Asia.
After rubber trees have been tapped for
about 25 years, their yield decreases and they are felled and replaced with new trees
At the time of replanting, an average of
30-75 m3 of saw logs are available per hectare. As rubber trees are replanted
continuously, rubber plantations constitute an important source of wood in many parts of
tropical Asia.
Properly treated rubber is very suitable
for production of solid timber flooring because:
- It has an attractive, light, uniform
color.
- It has a density similar to oak
- The drying shrinkage of rubber wood is
relatively low compared to most other hardwoods with the same density making it very
dimensionally stable.
