What Makes a Flooring Product "Green"?
Green has never looked so good!

Through eco-friendly choices, each of us can make a significant contribution to protecting the Earth’s natural resources. Green flooring uses materials and manufacturing practices that minimize waste and environmental impact. When you play an active role in protecting resources, you can help slow down global warming, climate change, deforestation and air pollution.

You May Have More Eco-Friendly Choices Than You Think...
Bamboo
Bamboo flooring is a durable, high-quality alternative to wood because it replenishes itself quickly on its own. Bamboo stalks are easily harvested, with the root system remaining to continually protect against runoff.
Bamboo grows as much as a foot a day, reaching peak height within just six months and harvest strength within four years. A tree, by contrast, must be replanted, requiring 20 to 120 years to attain harvest-ready maturity.

Cork
Cork is believed to be the most environmentally-friendly material in the world. It grows on the outer surface of trees, easily peeled away with hand tools for up to 10 years without ever damaging the tree. Cork quickly replenishes itself. So the tree stays in tact, absorbing much of the carbon emissions said to worsen global warming. It also provides a loving home to dozens of species of plants and wildlife.
