Buying tips for eco friendly flooring
Linoleum
Linoleum was patented in the 1860s and has never gone out of style! It is fabricated from renewable materials including tree resins, recycled wood flour, linseed oil, cork dust, and mineral pigments, and mounted on a canvas or jute backing. This makes linoleum easy to recycle, and it’s biodegradable, too!
- Benefits of Linoleum include:
- Eco-friendly
- Variety of both neutral and bold colors
- Durability
- Water Resistance
- Ease of Maintenance
Cork Flooring
If you are looking for an environmentally friendly, natural option, cork is an excellent choice! Cork can be harvested from a tree without damaging the tree or stunting its growth. This makes cork the most naturally renewable resource for flooring. It is also bio-degradable and recyclable. There are a surprising number of textures and designs from which to choose. Small granules give your floor that traditional cork flooring look that is universally appealing. A peeled cork texture gives it a beautiful natural look. Use plank-shaped cork if you are installing over existing flooring but use tile-shaped if it needs to be glued down. We can help you determine which option is best.
- Benefits of Cork Flooring include:
- Eco-friendly and non-toxic
- Durability
- Resilient - soft and comfortable underfoot
- Practical - sealed for easy maintenance
- Softens room noise
