When writing about sustainable flooring there are so many considerations that it is a challenge to be brief especially as we would like to hope that the consumer take seriously how their flooring impacts the environment; both social and physical. Currently we work closely with Kahrs, Tesoro Woods ( formerly Eco Timber), USFloors, EcoFusion, and Whole Log Lumber.
I thought it might be helpful to note just a couple of sentences from each of their websites that highlights what they are about. It's very tempting to add more information, but, thus the nature of blogs-remain brief and to the point.
We do, however, invite you to look at what interests you most and read about their environmental commitments and background. .
Tesoro Woods: from their "about" page: Tesoro Woods is a certified advocate of sourcing sustainable materials and using eco-friendly, low-VOC finishes and glues to minimize the impact on indoor air quality and health. Living up to our name, Tesoro Woods prizes wood as a treasure, where every product meets the highest environmental and health standards while looking beautiful.
Kahrs: Kährs ecological approach is of long standing. It earned the company an ISO 14001 environmental management certification – as the first wood flooring company – more than a decade ago.
EcoFusion: EcoFusion is an aptly named and dynamic line of flooring. EcoFusion flooring products blend renewable and recyclable products from the earth and “fuse” them into innovative flooring solutions for the home. We take products such as renewable bamboo and recycled hardwood scraps from furniture factories and turn them into beautiful flooring fashion.
USFloors: USFloors, based in Dalton, GA, is a manufacturer of Unique and Sustainable floors. USFloors is a leading producer of sustainable, eco-friendly floors including cork, bamboo, and FSC®-Certified hardwood, and LVT floors. .
Whole Log Lumber: Since 1984 we’ve created refined rustic reclaimed wood interiors to support the visions of architects, builders, designers & homeowners.
The Arch is committed to making sure we work with flooring companies that have no added urea formaldehyde or other harmful toxins, ensuring that the air you breathe is healthy. Give us a call at 828 253 5455 or come by our showroom and we will be happy to offer recommendations on a beautiful, quality floor.
