Bamboo
Flooring
Bamboo flooring is now considered a popular
green NYC flooring material that is at once
practical, beautiful and highly sustainable.
Bamboo, a wood substitute, matures in just
three years (compared to the decades needed
for a tree like oak or maple). And since the
bamboo plant regenerates without replanting
and requires minimal fertilization or pesticides
that means no more added chemicals or costly
labor. Bamboo is tougher than oak so you don’t
need to worry about it not standing up to
an active family’s lifestyle. Bamboo plank
NYC flooring boasts a fresh look for homes
across the tri-state area. |

Palm
Flooring
Coconut palm flooring, like bamboo, is a sustainable
wood that makes a fantastic choice for the
eco-savvy homeowner. And since there are over
150 of this sustainable species growing in
regions as diverse as Southeast Asia to and
Central America, many green home designers
are looking to palm wood products as yet another
tool in their palette. |

Cork
Flooring
Cork is a lightweight viably sustainable flooring
product because no cork trees are destroyed
in the process: the bark is merely peeled
back without harming the tree. Nine years
later, after the cork bark has re-grown, it
can be harvested again. Cork flooring offers
a warm look in tones ranging from honey to
red to chocolate to black. Its honeycomb structure
reduces the transmission of sound, vibration,
and heat, making it a great insulator as well.
Finally, a naturally occurring substance in
cork called Suberin resists bugs, mold, mites
and termites. |

Reclaimed
Wood Flooring
Reclaimed wood flooring is just like regular
solid hardwood flooring except the planks
are salvaged from older buildings. Sanded,
refinished and cut to precise specifications,
this older wood offers a warm and seasoned
look for the sophisticated homeowner. And
since the wood is essentially “recycled”,
you can rest easy knowing no additional trees
have been destroyed for your home’s renovation. |

Engineered
Stone Flooring
Engineered stone, essentially a composite
of stone chips, stone dust and a resin binder,
is considered eco-friendly because it is essentially
a recycled stone product. Engineered stone’s
look isn’t so different from natural stone,
so you can enjoy the sumptuous look of stone
without harvesting a non-renewable resource. |
