- Carpeting: (Sustainable and recyclable, Ozone Friendly)
- Mohawk SmartStrand® carpet with DuPont™ Sorona® renewably sourced polymer. This carpet exclusively offers fiber made with Bio-PDO™ (the key Sorona® ingredient), which is produced from corn sugar. By utilizing this new ingredient, 37 percent of Sorona® is being made from renewable resources
- The production of Sorona® polymer requires 30 percent less energy than the production of an equal amount of nylon.
- Greenhouse gas emissions from the production of Sorona® are 63 percent lower than nylon manufacturing.
- This energy reduction results in approximately one gallon of gasoline saved per every seven square yards of carpet
- Bamboo: (Eco-Friendly, Healthy Alternative, Durable)
- Bamboo is environmentally sound. Renewable, recyclable and biodegradable, Bamboo flooring is recognized as a true gem in modern sustainable architecture.
- Bamboo is being specified more and more in response to rising concerns about indoor air quality, allergens, off-gassing, and the presence of PVC’s often associated with traditional building materials.
- Bamboo is composed of complex fibers that do not absorb moisture as easily as wood. A technically advanced aluminum oxide coating outlasts traditional finishes 3 to 4 times over.
- Natural Beauty: Bamboo flooring boasts a unique appearance that is complimentary to many decors. Exotic and elegant, the beauty of Bamboo will enhance your interior while remaining true to its natural origins.
- Cork: (Durable, Renewable, Fire Resistant, Comfortable)
- Cork flooring will last for generations. Comprised of a renewable natural material, cork is environmentally friendly, as much as it promotes improved health and comfort for human indoor living. In our homes, cork floors create a warm, comfortable, resilient surface that is gentle underfoot, is anti-microbial, fire-resistant, and is inherently resistant to molds, mildews, and common pests such as termites.
- Protected with 5 coats of durable UV cured acrylic finish
- Cork provides a comfortable cushion underfoot. Cork bounces back, so recovery from marks caused by furniture will leave minimal residual indentation, less noticeable than on wood, carpet, or vinyl floors.
- Cork is a fire inhibitor and will not spread flame. Cork also does not release toxic gasses on combustion.
- Thermal and Acoustic Insulator. Made up of over 100 million prism shaped cells per cubic inch, each one filled with air, cork inhibits the conduction of temperature and sound. Cork floors reduce impact noise, walking barefoot in your bedroom or bathroom in the middle of a cold night is a warm, quiet, and comfortable experience.
- Anti-microbial and Insect Repellent. Suberin, an inherent substance of cork, is a natural insect repellent. Even termites are kept away. Cork is anti-microbial and is resistant to mold and mildew. If allergies are a problem, yet you enjoy the comfort and warmth of carpet, cork is the ideal alternative.
