Eucalyptus Log Flooring

Our log flooring is made from logs cut from Eucalyptus trees which are glued into standard size boxes for easy handing.

The log flooring is fixed by placing the boxes of logs, on a level area, and packing them tightly together. Finish by grouting with a sand and cement mixure.
