The Fantastic Floor’s Sustainability Practices

There are plenty of choices in flooring and some are simply more “green” than others.

• Bamboo flooring is a fast-growing grass that regenerates without seeding and reaches full maturity in 3-6 years. Our Bamboo Collection offers a variety of colors and styles that are beautiful, durable and environmentally friendly.
• Cork flooring is harvested from the bark of the tree so the cork tree forests are left standing. The bark fully grows back within 5 to 8 years which makes cork a renewable, biodegradable alternative that has minimal waste when produced into flooring. Our Cork Collection has traditional and contemporary options in all sorts of colors. Cork is also softer than hardwood, as well as a thermal and acoustic insulator, which means that rooms with cork flooring are naturally warm and quiet.
• Reclaimed flooring is a great way to incorporate eco-friendly materials into your home. The old term “renew, reuse & recycle” is perfect for reclaimed flooring. The wood flooring is created from sources that do not require trees to be cut down, so the hardwood is taken from old homes, barns, or rivers and lakes. The big advantage of reclaimed wood flooring is that it is often more durable because it is old-growth wood which is denser and harder. We have some truly beautiful rustic reclaimed flooring options in our Reclaimed Green Certified Collection. Consider a reclaimed floor to give old wood life, preserve history and be eco-friendly.
