Specialty Flooring: Eco-Friendly Floors

Bamboo Flooring. Doing an Eco-Friendly Project? While traditional hardwoods are made from trees, which take years upon years to grow, bamboo can be harvested every five years, making it an ideal choice for environmentally conscious people. Although not the most inexpensive flooring solution, bamboo flooring offers a substantial amount of durability.

Cork Flooring. Conserving Natural Resources. Cork has become more popular as a flooring material because it does not destroy natural resources during creation. Cork is harvested from the cork oak tree, and the tree regenerates itself after the bark (cork) is removed. Other reasons to install cork flooring:

• Soft - has more give than hardwood or ceramic floors
• Large selection of natural patterns, textures and colors
• Hypoallergenic and resists mold and mildew better than other flooring types
• High resistance to liquid and moisture
• Warmer to the touch than most other flooring
• Insulator and Noise Reducer
