Ancom Is Green!
There are many species of wood which are environmentally friendly. Here at Ancom we encourage clients to explore the options.
Lyptus, a tropical hardwood, is ideal for cabinetry, millwork, furniture, and flooring. It is milled from eucalyptus trees. Eucalyptus grows very quickly, replenishing itself in as short a time as 14 years. The trees are manually pruned, which results in less knots in the wood. This allows for maximum usable lumber being produced from the logs. All of this results in a very green product. Click here for more environmental information about lyptus wood.
Lyptus has a beautiful grain pattern. It gives a very rich look and color. It can be finished naturally for a beautiful reddish color, or stained to deepen the finish to your liking. Here are some pictures of lyptus doors being prepared for stain:
And the stained and finished product:
Look for a picture of the cabinets fully assembled and installed in the near future!

Another species that is well known as being environmentally friendly and is becoming very popular for its look is bamboo. Bamboo grows faster than lyptus even, growing in only 7 years! It is therefore a very green product because the supply is regenerated so quickly. In addition to growing so rapidly, bamboo is good for the o-zone. It releases more oxygen than the average tree.

Here is a picture of some naturally finished bamboo doors we are working on.
Look for pictures of these cabinets soon as well!
