Most hardwood flooring selections are tongue and groove slats and are very easy to install. All one needs it is a flooring nailer, a four-foot level, a chalk line and some patience. Once installed, these floors require little maintenance and are easy to keep clean.

Go Green

Both bamboo and cork flooring options are also highly durable and truly green options. Because of their renewability, both of these options not only look great and hold up to heavy traffic, they are also some of the most eco-friendly options on the market.

Laminates

This option allows for the great look of hardwoods at a fraction of the cost. Laminate flooring also installs quickly, and provides a high level of  durability for high traffic areas. Laminates are also great to put over existing concrete floors, as they can be installed in most cases without having to build a sub-floor.

In closing, these are three great options to consider when installing new hardwood flooring in one’s home. Each is durable, long lasting, and looks awesome.

In addition to recycling, choosing paper over plastic, and reducing our usage of electricity, gas, and water there are home products and furnishings we can choose that are also more environmentally friendly.

Natural Fiber Carpet
When purchasing new carpet, remember natural fibers. Great options in natural fiber include sisal and jute. Be sure to look for natural fiber backing and make sure no chemical treatment or toxic adhesives were used in the production process.

Wood from Sustainably Managed Forests
We all know that replenishing our sources of wood is a lengthy process, so if you’re concerned with the environment you can choose wood flooring and furnishings made from lumber derived from sustainably managed forests. This way you’ll know that high standards and practices are followed for responsible forestry practices.

Recycled Glass
Many products in all kinds of styles and colors are available today that are made from at least 75% recycled glass.

Cork
Why is cork an earth-friendly option? Mainly because the cork is obtained from the bark of the cork oak tree. The process does not harm the tree itself and is usually stripped no more frequently than every nine years.

Linoleum
You may be surprised to know that linoleum is one of the greenest products on the market today. It’s non toxic and made from natural, renewable resources.  Look for 100% biodegradable linoleum products that have no gas emissions.
