100% ECO Friendly

Natural, Eco-Friendly Flooring

Our industry is undergoing a dramatic transformation towards environmentally conscious building and materials. As a society, we have become more aware of our impact on the Earth and recognize the need for earth friendly, energy efficient, and sustainable building and living. Many of us are making a commitment to reduce energy and water consumption, conserve natural resources, preserve habitats, and provide a safer, healthier environment within our homes and buildings, and throughout our community.

 

Green Flooring

The term green means that certain products are made up of either environmentally friendly materials or they are made with renewable or recycled products. There are many factors to consider when purchasing earth friendly or “green” products. Some of these factors include growing, harvesting, and manufacturing practices, VOC content (volatile organic compounds), value, suitability, durability, and even transportation. We encourage you to ask any of our sales experts to show you flooring that will help you make the right choice for your flooring needs.

 
Completely natural, long lasting and durable, bamboo flooring also adds beauty to your home.

Bamboo

Bamboo flooring is made from a fast growing grass that regenerates without seeding. Bamboo reaches full maturity in 3 - 6 years, which makes it renewable and sustainable. Bamboo floors are as durable as Oak or Maple hardwood, and come in a wide selection of colors and styles. Quality bamboo makes a beautiful, warm, environmentally friendly floor that can be enjoyed for many years. So when thinking about a new floor give bamboo flooring consideration.
Eco-friendly, inexpensive and practical, linoleum is a great choice for families battling allergies and asthma.

Linoleum

Linoleum is an eco-friendly, inexpensive and practical flooring option. Linoleum flooring contains very little VOC content, since it is constructed from natural materials, such as linseed oil, pine resin, sawdust, cork dust, limestone and jute. Natural linoleum is biodegradable and compostable. It's a very popular choice for families turning to hard surface flooring to battle dust and other irritants that contribute to allergies and asthma.
Stylish and sustainable, cork is a great flooring choice with high sound and impact absorption.

Cork

From harvest to production to installation, cork is an environmentally sustainable, and non-toxic alternative to traditional flooring materials. Cork is one of the few truly sustainable materials. Trees are grown and the bark is harvested without harming either the trees or their habitat. Bark is initially sent to a factory to create stoppers for wine bottles. Cork flooring is then created from post-industrial by-product of the bottle-stopper industry. This 'waste' material is ground up and then formed into sheets using minimal amounts of adhesive to bind the particles together under high pressure. There is almost zero waste from the production of cork flooring.

Jute is a wonderful natural flooring option due to its fine, lustrous quality.

Jute

Jute is a fantastic natural flooring option due to its fine, lustrous quality. Its ability to be woven into many designs, such as herringbone and tweed, make it a great eco-friendly alternative to traditional carpets and rugs. Jute is the fibrous inner bark from the stalk of a giant tropical herb, named Cochorus, which grows in southern India and other hot, damp regions of Asia.
Seagrass is extremely soft and smooth underfoot making it an excellent choice for bedrooms.

Seagrass

The natural look of seagrass carpets and rugs is sought after by many designers and homeowners. Seagrass is extremely soft and smooth underfoot, so it feels great to walk on and is an excellent choice for bedrooms. It’s grown in Chinese paddies and marshes that are flooded with seawater, then it is harvested, sun dried, and woven into yarn. Seagrass is completely biodegradable, so it can be recycled without taking up space in a landfill for eternity.
Preferred by interior designers, sisal is stronger and more durable than other natural fibers.

Sisal

Sisal’s textured look is a favorite of interior designers. Sisal is a natural fiber derived from the long, green leaves of the ‘agave sisalana’ cactus plant, which grows in semi-arid regions in Africa and Brazil. Sisal fibers are sustainably harvested by hand. Sisal is stronger and more durable than other natural fibers, which makes it a preferred material for carpet and rugs.
Durable, stain-resistant and extremely soft, silk carpet adds a touch of luxury to your home.

Carpet

Many carpet manufactures are making huge efforts to use renewable and/or recycled materials in their products. The carpet and rug industry uses a labeling system to identify materials with fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the carpet fiber or in the adhesives used in installation. Such carpeting improves indoor air quality, a major consideration of green building. Shaws Anso Nylon contains 25% post consumer content and is cradle to cradle sertified. Mohawks Smart Strand is renewably sourced polymer made partially from corn sugar and requires less energy to make. PET polyester fibers are made from recycled plastic bottles, containing 100% post consumer content.
