Urban Floor Scapes

Enviromentally friendly flooring choices are becoming more popular than ever.
Eco Flooring Products consist of a few different concepts: reclaimed or recycled, sustainably harvested or easily replenished.
Each of these concepts involve a different approach to offering environmentally sound flooring choices.
As for real wood flooring, engineered flooring offers a more ecologically sound use of valuable wood species. Utilizing a thin layer of these valuable wood species over a layer of recyled paper core, or a fast growing plywood species, multiplies their use.

This concept usually involves reusing material that have previously served another man made usage, whether it be as framing for a barn or flooring from an old textile mill. It can also be salvaged from lakes and streams, left there naturally or during harvest practices. Reclaimed flooring options are not only a sound eco choice, but are inherently beautiful and filled with time worn charm and character.

This concept deals with the manner in which a product is harvested for flooring production. Model uses many sustainably harvested raw materials in the production of their standard line of Hardwood Flooring.All Pollmeier Beech products are produced for some of the most well managed forests in the world.
Sustainably harvested flooring is available in both prefinished and unfinished formats from Model, Lauzon, Preverco, DuChateau, and more...

This generally refers to products that are easily renewed in the natural world, such as cork, and bamboo.
These products grow fast and can be harvested over and over without destroying the valuable life source of the raw material.
