More and more people around Southern California and throughout the state are choosing ecologically friendly flooring options for their renovations or their new home.
The number and quality of “green flooring” options have both grown substantially in the last ten years, and it is very likely that they will continue to increase — especially in California.
Styles Of Green Flooring For You To Choose From
There are many different types of green flooring, so you will be able to find something to suit any decor and style of home.
Perhaps the most common type of green flooring is the bamboo floor. Bamboo flooring has become immensely popular within a very short time because it is easy to maintain, relatively inexpensive, and is an easily renewable resource.
Bamboo is a very strong material that also grows incredibly quickly, making it a sustainable and eco-friendly choice. Additionally, growing bamboo helps to strengthen the biosphere, further solidifying its reputation as a green flooring option.
Its durability and natural softness make it an excellent choice for kids-friendly flooring, providing a safe and resilient surface for active households. Bamboo truly is a “win-win” in the world of ecologically friendly flooring.
Most people don’t realize, however, that there are also many other options:
Green Carpet
Carpet can be produced using ecologically sound and safe methods. Green carpet is of a similar quality, texture, and color to conventional options. However, it is produced using few industrial chemicals, through a more environmentally responsible process.
Reclaimed Hardwood
Hardwood, of course, comes from trees and can be a sustainable resource. However, the creation of conventional hardwood floors can have an environmental impact. Reclaimed hardwood offers a superior alternative as it is essentially “recycled” and reconditioned to meet your needs.
Wood flooring restoration is another eco-friendly option, allowing you to revitalize existing hardwood floors instead of replacing them, reducing waste while preserving their natural beauty and durability.
Cork Flooring
Cork flooring has great acoustic properties that can help you insulate a room from noise. It also helps with thermal insulation, keeping a room cool in the summer and warm in the winter. It is produced by removing the cork bark without destroying the tree.
Rubber Flooring
While rubber flooring is more typical for commercial projects, it can also be valuable for some areas of the home. People enjoy rubber flooring in a home gym, for example. Like cork flooring, it can be produced with minimal environmental disruption.
