A home remodeling<\/a> project allows you to make adjustments to your home to better suit your lifestyle. It\u2019s also a chance to reduce your carbon footprint. Here are some flooring options that are kinder to the environment:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Cork<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Top-quality cork floors can last up to 30 years. Cork is fire-retardant and can reduce allergens in your home because it\u2019s naturally antimicrobial. It\u2019s also receptive to most paints and stains. Cork trees don\u2019t have to be cut down to get enough material for floors and other purposes, so it\u2019s a renewable material source. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concrete<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Concrete is usually used as a subflooring material, however, you can polish or paint it to match your taste. While it\u2019s a popular choice for kitchens and bathrooms, it can hold its own in any room in the home. Concrete is sleek, easy to clean and so durable you\u2019ll never have to replace it again.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reclaimed Tile<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A lot of energy and plenty of raw materials are saved when you reuse or repurpose tiles. Most used tiles cost only a fraction of the original price while retaining their charm. With a little cleaning, your \u201cold\u201d flooring will look brand new. You can also choose antique tile for a rustic or Old World feel.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reclaimed Wood<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When only hardwood will do, there\u2019s a way to get it without adding to deforestation concerns. Reclaimed hardwood comes from trees chopped down long ago. If you\u2019re remodeling a beach cottage or a historic home, salvaged wood should fit nicely.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FSC Wood<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are managed forests designated by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) that produce wood responsibly. FSC-certified wood is grown to high social and environmental standards. That means you can enjoy new wood flooring sourced through sustainable means.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Linoleum<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now enjoying renewed interest, linoleum is perfect for homeowners with an eye for retro styling and environmentally-friendly materials. You have countless patterns and colors to choose from so you don\u2019t have to worry about running out of design options.
