Natural Stone Flooring

Natural stone is incredibly durable, recyclable and in ample supply. Tile options such as, limestone, slate, travertine, marble and others are natural, non-manufactured materials straight from the earth. Stone does not require chemicals, stains or solvents to manufacture and create little to no waste during production. Stone floors can create a timeless look appreciated for years to come.

Bamboo Flooring

Typical hardwood trees, such as maple or hickory, need to be a mature 25 years of age before they can supply wood for hardwood flooring. In contrast, bamboo needs as little as 3 years of growth before it can be used for flooring. Because bamboo is a member of the grass family, it grows quickly and is rapidly renewable. With a large selection of colors and finishes, you're sure to find a bamboo option to fit your design style.

Recycled Glass Tile

Many consumers hope to help divert some of the waste that ends up in landfills by choosing recycled glass. Glass can be re-purposed into beautiful, stylish, environmentally friendly glass tiles. Tiles are easy to clean and ideal for bathrooms and when the time comes to update the tile, they can easily be recycled again.

Linoleum

Linoleum is a durable, biodegradable material that can add comfort and warmth to any room. With the emphasis on green design in recent years, linoleum flooring can be constructed from natural ingredients and can often be found in business locations. For homes, linoleum can be an excellent option for playrooms, exercise areas, and more. 

When it comes to ecofriendly flooring, there are more options than ever. Now, you can have stylish and durable floors and be environmentally conscientious at the same time. You can find carpet made from wool or even recycled plastic, and even, rubber or leather flooring tiles. If you are considering green flooring, we hope this information has been helpful.
