About Flooring Materials
There are many factors to consider when shopping for a new floor. First we must determine the type of material we want to use in the space. Durability, comfort, style, maintenance and function are all factors that affect the decision process. Should the floor be made from sustainable and VOC free materials? Flooring is sometimes the largest and most visible area in your home. We must consider the appearance and the impact it has on the surroundings. Whether it is for your home or office, advice from the knowledgeable staff at Interiors Only can help in the decision making process.
If you are planning on doing your project yourself or hiring a professional, Interiors Only can guide you through the installation process.
Made from the bark of the Cork Oak tree, cork flooring does not leave a negative impact on our environment. The bark of the tree is peeled off every nine years. No trees are harmed during the harvest of the bark. The primary use of the bark is for the production of wine stoppers from which the manufacturing waste is reground used for a variety of other products such as flooring, insulation, shoe soles, handbags and furniture to name just a few. Cork is a sustainable and renewable natural resource.
Making the Right Choice
Flooring materials should also be chosen with the environment in mind. Choose materials which are sustainable and don’t have a negative environmental impact. Manufactures of flooring materials should practice environmental stewardship. Interiors Only has a variety of flooring materials such as 100% biodegradable wool broadloom, cork flooring, solid and engineered hardwood as well as bamboo flooring. Today, some synthetic broadloom can be recycled and some broadloom is made from recycled materials such as pop bottles.
