Eco-Friendly Flooring Options
EcoTimber Flooring
San Jose Hardwood Floors is proud to announce the addition of EcoTimber's line of Eco-Friendly flooring to our flooring options..
EcoTimber Flooring is dedicated to preserving the Earth's forests. Since 1992, EcoTimber has promoted forest conservation worldwide by selling sustainably harvested and reclaimed wood products. EcoTimber offers a wide range of gorgeous domestic and exotic hardwood and bamboo flooring, including prefinished engineered and floating floors. We provide many types of bamboo flooring and hardwood flooring products for all tastes and styles. Besides being renewable, wood is non-toxic, energy-efficient to grow and manufacture, as well as recyclable and biodegradable. Logging does not need to harm or destroy the world’s forests. Natural forests can be managed carefully in ways that preserve their diversity and the services they provide. Buying sustainably harvested wood pushes the timber industry in a more responsible direction, discourages illegal logging, and helps create economic value for a forest ecosystem that might otherwise be cleared for agriculture or development. Forest certification allows consumers to use their purchasing power to support forestry that conserves forests for future generations.

WE Cork, Inc.
San Jose Hardwood Floors is proud to announce the addition of WE Cork's beautiful cork flooring to our Eco-Friendly flooring selection.
Providing superior quality cork floor tiles consist of various sizes of cork granules compressed together with special binders under very high pressure ensuring that they will withstand the intensive wear of a floor covering. A cork floor not only offers natural charm but also provides great comfort to the feet and legs. It creates a very quiet space and provides a much appreciated insulation for both cold and warm climates. Unlike most modern floor coverings our cork floors can be refinished to look like new, anytime.
Between 1978 and 1979, the world famous Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota installed approximately 70,000 sq. ft. of We Cork's waxed cork floor tiles in their new extension. They have previously used cork floors in several other parts of their facility. What better endorsement could a product receive!

Wicander - Cork Flooring
New generation of cork flooring from Amorim with BASF binder
Acrodur® is more eco-efficient than comparable flooring.
An Eco-Efficiency Analysis conducted last year looked at a combination of environmental and
economic issues. The selected criteria were energy balance, resource consumption, impact on health,
and emissions such as greenhouse gases. Overall, the result of the Eco-Efficiency Analysis shows that, assuming comparable prices for the
different floorings, cork floorings perform best.
