Hardwood floors give a room a sense of permanence, stability and warmth. Ninety percent of realtors say that wood floors help a home sell faster and for more money. Even in a small home with minimal square footage, wood floors give a house a well-crafted, "high-end" appearance. Wood floors come in a large number of different species and colors, making design options virtually endless.

Environmentally Friendly Wood Flooring Options

What is bamboo?

Bamboo is a perennial plant belonging to the grass family Poaceae. It grows in diverse climates - from cold mountains to hot, tropical regions - reaching heights of 125 feet or more. Bamboo is considered the fastest growing woody plant, reaching maturity in five to six years. Bamboo has found many uses; from food preparation to construction, its thin and flimsy appearance belies its true value.

What is cork?

Harvested from the bark of the cork oak tree, Quercus suber, cork consists mostly of suberin, a waxy substance that prevents water from penetrating the cork tissue. This provides resistance to moisture, making cork possible for installation in places where other flooring types are not advisable.
