In Winter as in Summer, in Fall as in Spring, you can be “green” all year around by making environmentally responsible choices with your flooring. There are many routes to take. Here are a few:
Choose Recycled Material:
It is becoming more popular for carpet companies to use recycled material or renewable natural fibers in their carpet products. The core of laminate floors can also be made of recycled material such as old tires or plastics.
Choose Natural Materials:
Choosing stone inlays, hardwood from carbon-neutral trees, or wool carpets are options for natural floors and a smart way to create an organic floor.
Choose Healthy Material:
For many, a green choice is one that reduces the need for unhealthy cleaning chemicals. Certain floors reduce the amount of bacteria (resilient tile), mold (cork wood), and allergens (wool carpet) which commonly thrive in your household without notice.
