Here are some of the types of Eco-Friendly Flooring we carry…
Natural Bamboo Flooring
Natural bamboo is renewable, recyclable, and biodegradable. Both cork and bamboo are true gems in modern sustainable architecture. Natural bamboo is much denser, stronger, and wears better than most hardwoods. Bamboo takes much less time to grow and is environmentally friendly. Since bamboo grows much faster than hardwoods, it is quickly replenished. Its unique color and texture make bamboo a beautiful, elegant, eco-friendly flooring material. It’s coveted by high-end interior designers worldwide. Many characteristics of bamboo are like those of hardwoods.

Natural Cork Flooring
Cork is from the tree’s bark. This thick bark is made up of millions of tiny prism-shaped air pockets. These create a resilient and cushioned surface with many distinct advantages over hardwood.
Cork is grown on farms and harvested every 9 to 11 years. This makes cork a unique and sustainable floor product. It’s eco-friendly flooring that improves the health and comfort of indoor living. Cork floors create a warm, comfortable, and resilient surface in your home. Cork is gentle underfoot, anti-microbial, and will not spread flames. It’s also resistant to molds, mildew, and common pests.
Cork comes in…
- Glue-down tile, often referred to as parquet, in sizes 12” x 12” or 12” x 24”
- Sheet vinyl applications
- Cork plank. ‘Plank’ refers to a floating floor installation. The cork is laminated to a fiberboard center core with a tongue-and-groove edge.
We use technologically advanced adhesives to install cork flooring. These products are solvent and isocyanate-free. They contain no hazardous ingredients and are non-flammable. They have low VOC and have low odor. These glues meet all Federal, state, and local governmental regulations. And they are produced in the United States.
Eco-Friendly Carpet
It’s a common misconception that carpets can harm allergy and asthma sufferers. Shaw Industries commissioned a series of scientific studies about this. They show that effectively cleaned carpets can reduce airborne allergens. This makes carpet a viable choice for families affected by allergies and asthma.

Here are a few of the carpet manufacturers that produce eco-friendly carpets.
EverStrand by Mohawk is an ecologically friendly carpeting option. It’s a carpet fiber that’s made from recycled plastic bottles.
Every Beaulieu carpet also helps ensure the highest air quality. The Carpet and Rug Institute has certified it Green Label Plus. All Beaulieu carpet emits almost no volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Enjoy the look and eco-friendliness of Shaw’s EverTouch nylon residential carpets. These uniquely designed collections will add to the style and grace of homes for years to come.
Today, the recycling process has partners located in most major U.S. markets. Through these efforts, 109 million pounds of carpet was reclaimed in 2012. On average, 80 percent of the reclaimed carpet goes back into recycling.
Eco-Friendly Tile Flooring
Architects and designers have helped advance the green movement. Tile products need to be certified for use in specific types of projects. The ultimate goal is for a project to receive eco-friendly status. The US Green Buildings Council (USGBC) helps set guidelines for building green.
