![]() How are wood floors "Earth Friendly"?
Having beautiful wood or laminate flooring doesn’t mean giving up on an environment-friendly flooring solution nor do you have to give up wood or laminate if you want your room décor to “go green”. In order to provide the best, highest quality wood & laminate products possible, we utilize “intercropping”. Intercropping is a process where trees are raised in a renewable plantation forest that is harvested every seven years. These trees, mainly Poplar trees, are planted specifically for this purpose and are mixed with other harvestable crops that are harvested by local farmers. We use these trees as our main source of wood for creating our substrate.
![]() In addition to intercropping, our wood & laminate flooring solutions are created by combining earth-friendly materials & processes with the highest quality stain and protective layers to create a product that lasts longer and needs to be replaced less often. That means cutting down fewer trees. In addition, by combining our wood and laminate flooring with our eco-friendly underlayment, Eco Thermo Silent, you’ll save on energy usage & costs and reduce sound pollution. Our Eco Thermo Silent underlayment is created to perfectly complement our flooring solutions utilizing materials & processes developed in our factories. We create our underlayment using P.E.T. (Poly Ethylene Terephthalate), recycled plastic bottles, which provides an ecologically friendly alternative to traditional materials while still providing outstanding sound absorption.
You will also use fewer chemicals cleaning your wood or laminate floor than you would with carpeting, it’ll last longer in high traffic areas (meaning you replace it less often) and you’ll add value to your home or office. All in all, by using our wood or laminate flooring products in your home or office you’re not only saving money, you’re saving the environment.
