| Hailing from
plantations in near the east coast of Brazil owned
and operated by local company Fibria, Lyptus® is a
naturally occurring hybrid of two species of
Eucalyptus tree, Eucalyptus grandis and Eucalyptus
urophylla. It has been developed for quick
harvesting – typically 15-20 years – and offers many
of the advantages of traditional tropical timber –
durability, weather-resistance. Crucially, it is
grown on responsibly managed plantations making it a
good alternative to traditional hardwoods such as
oak, cherry and mahogany that take decades longer to
mature. The plantations are certified to Brazil's
Cerflor national sustainable forestry standard which
is recognized by PEFC International. Another
important feature of this wood is that it is being
grown on plantations which are interspersed with
re-introduced native species from the Atlantic
Coastal Forests of Brazil. Thus, at the same time as
offering a sustainable supply of wood, these
plantations are also helping to restore the once
severely depleted native forest to the region.

| Woodlink UK Offers
PEFC certified alternative to tropical hardwoods.
The company has been PEFC certified from the outset.
Implementing PEFC certification across its
operations was a relatively straightforward exercise
as the previous parent company, Anders, was already
certified, enabling Woodlink UK to build upon
already existing processes and audits. Today, 70-80%
of the products it trades in are certified. The
entire stock of Lyptus® tropical hardwwods is PEFC
certified. Now, the introduction of fully PEFC-certified
Lyptus® wood is set to strengthen this position
further. By offering a rapidly renewable, fully
sustainable, viable alternative to tropical
hardwoods, Woodlink UK is in a unique position to be
able to respond to customer and market demand while
at the same time making an important contribution to
sustainable forest management

| Lyptus® decking is our
passion. We are proud to be the exclusive producer
and supplier of this stunning Brazilian hardwood
decking in the UK, with our partners Weyerhaeuser.
Quite simply, Lyptus® decking is beautiful. The
decking product is both durable and elegant. It has
a fine grain and a colour that ranges from light
salmon to rich cherry. Yet it is also versatile
enough to take a wide range of stains and finishes
evenly. We believe our development and
introduction of Lyptus® decking has opened up the
hardwood decking market - offering a great-looking
product available all year round as an alternative
to other more challenging tropical species. And - in
a market driven towards sustainability - it has
superb environmental credentials.
Lyptus decking is from fast-growing eucalyptus
trees cultivated on well-managed plantations in
South America. |

which burst so spectacularly onto the public stage at the Chelsea Flower
Show in May.

Decking continues to be
a popular addition to any exterior environment,
offering a visually striking and cost effective
method of extending living space, creating a focal
point for a garden or simply surrounding a pool or
hot tub. When working with sloped sites, decking
also offers an ideal solution for making the most of
the space and importantly from an installation
perspective, can easily accommodate applications
