As more homeowners go green, manufacturers have made available many beautiful and sustainable flooring options to choose from. If you’re planning a green interior remodeling project, then start by choosing the right flooring material.
Which Flooring Is Eco-Friendly?
When choosing the right flooring, your primary consideration should be sustainability. Check if the material you’re interested in comes from a renewable source. You also need to consider whether it can be recycled at the end of its lifespan. Some of the best flooring options for you to consider are listed below.
Reclaimed Tiles
Whether you’re going for something simple or you’re looking for more intricate designs, you can choose used tile such as terracotta for your home remodeling project. You can find used tiles at most reclamation yards, but note that you’ll probably need to have them cleaned before installation.
Bamboo Flooring
Bamboo flooring is a great flooring material that’s becoming popular. Bamboo is actually a type of grass that has similar characteristics as hardwood. It’s easy to install and maintain because of its durability. Bamboo is considered sustainable since it grows to maturity in three to five years, far less than the 20 years trees can take. You can get bamboo flooring in various grains and colors so it can work in any type of setting or decor.
Linoleum
Linoleum is created from a combination of linseed oil, cork dust, wood flour, tree resins, pigments and ground limestone. This material is naturally fire- and water-resistant. Linoleum lost popularity when vinyl was introduced in the 1940’s, however, modern architects and designers are starting to use this material again, taking advantage of the vibrant colors and styles the flooring option has to offer. It can also withstand a lot of wear and tear, lessening the need for replacement.
