The first few words that come to your mind when you hear the term ‘Eco-friendly flooring’ are probably boring, bland and lacking in contemporary style. However, with major advancements in the home improvement industry, there are plenty of designer options for environment-friendly flooring that are both tasteful and aesthetically appealing. You can pick from an eclectic assortment of Eco-flooring solutions to lend your house the ‘green’ appeal.

Cork flooring

Although you might not be aware of the fact, but cork is a great material for floors. Harvested from the bark of the cork oak tree of the Mediterranean forests, cork forms a non-toxic, thermally insulating and moisture resistant flooring option that is also renewable. In addition to this, the antimicrobial properties of cork help eliminate natural allergens and repel insects from indoors.

Linoleum flooring

Warm, comfortable and quiet, linoleum is a highly durable biodegradable material that is extensively used in the flooring of contemporary homes and office spaces. Available in a wide range of designs and colors, the linoleum flooring comes in the form of planks that are both antistatic and hypoallergenic in nature. In addition to being water resistant and fire retardant, the linoleum flooring offers major resilience to scratches and scrapes from shifting furniture and other household items.

Recycled glass flooring

One of the most trending flooring alternatives for both contemporary domestic and commercial purposes is the chic-looking yet highly functional recycled glass. You can take your pick from a wide selection of textures, colors and designs to go with the personality and character of your home. The fact that it is produced from recycled glass bottles that have reached the end of their consumer life-cycle makes glass flooring an environment-friendly option for your home.

Rubber flooring

Produced from recycled tires, rubber flooring is a great option for areas such as kitchen, bathroom and gym that require high moisture resistance and heavy duty functionality on an everyday basis. Rubber floors are not only easy and comfortable to walk on, but also offer an extensive choice of different colors and patterns to lend a stylish look to your rooms.

Sustainable wood floors

Available in a plethora of prefinished varieties and textures, engineered wood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council or FSC is available across the country as an Eco-friendly alternative to conventional flooring. Produced with non-toxic finishes and adhesives, reclaimed wood is sustainably harvested to make it a renewable resource.
