As people become aware of their impact on the planet, a growing number are choosing eco friendly wood floors over traditional hardwoods for their homes. Deforestation is a concern among environmentalists and home construction materials, including hardwood flooring contributes to the problem of deforestation. Unlike hardwood, an eco friendly wood floor can be made from a few sustainable options.

Eucalyptus is an eco friendly wood flooring material that provides a unique and environmentally responsible alternative to conventional hardwood floors. We carry Lyptus brand Eucalyptus flooring, which is used by designers to provide the beauty of exotic hardwoods without harming the planet. In addition, Lyptus is less expensive than mahogany, domestic cherry and other exotic wood floors.

Bamboo is an eco friendly wood floor that is available in natural tones or carbonized bamboo, which has been colored. Bamboo is available in horizontal and vertical grains for versatility in design. We have several options in bamboo floors to give your home the look you desire at an affordable price for your budget and the planet.

Cork is the least expensive of all eco friendly wood floors. Cork flooring is hypoallergenic and environmentally sustainable. It is crafted from the bark of trees that is naturally shed, rather than cutting down the entire tree, as in conventional hardwoods. This material is durable, but special care and cleaning is required. This includes avoiding wet mopping, as too much water can damage the material and placing coasters under the legs of heavy furniture to protect the floor.
