Stunning & Sustainable

Tuesday, May 7, 2024

While sustainability has been a key component to flooring design, the concept is now front of mind for consumers. Today, be it carpet, vinyl, hardwood, laminate or tile, eco-friendly flooring options are endless across all flooring product categories.

Living Green With Laminate

Mohawk’s RevWood brings the beauty of hardwood and the toughness of laminate along with being carbon negative. To help restore forests, the company also partners with One Tree Planted, a non-profit focusing on global reforestation as well as Plastic Bank, a social enterprise empowering to use plastic waste as currency to reduce ocean plastic pollution.

TRUCOR’s Tymbr XL in Pamplona from The Dixie Group is constructed with a sustainable wood fiber core.

Mannington Bespoke Tweed Laminate provides beauty and environmental advantages. Made with over 70 percent post-industrial recycled content and installed without glues or adhesives, Mannington’s Laminate floors have been independently tested and certified by FloorScore for meeting the strictest air quality standards.

Carpet For a Cause

Engineered Floors’ Gold Standard III Carpet is CRI Green Label Plus Approved.

Mohawk’s EverStrand in Natural Purpose is stylish carpet made with recycled bottles and manufactured with Mohawk's Continuum Process, which repurposes millions of plastic bottles that were bound for landfills and oceans.

Shaw Floors’ Sincere Focus is a Pet Perfect + product featuring Softbac with Lifeguard technology helping to safeguard families from spills. Its 100 percent ANSO Performance PET fiber combines cutting-edge technology with eco-friendly materials, delivering a carpet that contributes to a sustainable future.

Moss & Tile Tout Organic Style

MSI’s Stella Blush ceramic wall tile brings a rosy and glossy inviting design all while being Greenguard Indoor Air Quality Certified.

RIVA Moss is sustainably harvested from different forests spanning across Europe, bringing the beauty of nature, without the daily maintenance.

Hardwood's Eco-Friendly Highlights

Early Estate Hardwood Cellar Flooring from CALI is responsibly harvested from well-managed, Lacey Act compliant forests and offers an eco-friendly layered design, which gets 4 times as much flooring from each tree.

For every hardwood sold, Anderson Tuftex plants a tree on the consumer’s behalf. In partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, the world’s largest member nonprofit dedicated to planting trees in forests and communities, the company is committed to helping restore forests. Shown here is A/T’s Grand Estate Hardwood in Hatfield House.

Vinyl Brings Value

HMTX Commercial’s Déjà New LVT has an EPD which promotes transparency around its environmental impact.

CFL Flooring’s FirmFit Flooring is extra rigid with its limestone-based core, 100 percent free from Ortho-Phthalates and other harmful substances and is recyclable.
