Green Select
In today's world, the presence of environmentally friendly products and ways to preserve the environment are prevalent. We are proud to be participating in this "green" movement by providing products that are environmentally friendly.
These products include hardwood, bamboo, cork flooring and wool carpet.
Hardwood
The newest development in this category is using approximately 50% less newly forested wood in production versus the standard engineered hardwood available today.
Bamboo
Bamboo grows quickly and abundantly, making it one of the most renewable and abundant natural resources on the planet. Bamboo Flooring offers exotic elegance and superior durability, cost effectiveness and resource conservation versus all types of wood. It is proven to be more durable than Red Oak and it is as hard as Maple. Bamboo is extremely strong and resilient, rivaling the qualities of steel.
Cork Flooring
The bark from the cork oak tree is harvested from the tree every nine years, leaving the forest undamaged. It is not unusual to have a 200-year-old tree still producing cork bark. Even better than a renewable resource, cork is a harvested resource that is naturally sustainable. 100% natural eco-friendly cork helps make the planet a greener place. Cork is beautiful, durable, easy to care for, wonderful to walk on, and blessed with impeccable environmental credentials.
Wool Carpet
Wool is the naturally sustainable fiber as the wool shorn from sheep is completely natural. Sheep can be shorn every nine to twelve months thus making wool renewable. Wool carpet improves air quality by absorbing common contaminants in indoor air. It also is a non-allergenic fiber and is not a food source for dustmites.
Recycled Glass Tile
Recycled glass tile is created from post-industrial and post-consumer glass that would otherwise end up in landfills. They are manufactured with no additional oxides or colorants. This provides a unique appearance, color variation and different shapes. Each tile takes less than one-half of the energy to produce than ceramic tile, and less than one-fourth of the energy it takes to produce a cast-glass tile.
