Green Flooring Options - Bamboo, Marmoleum and Cork

 

Bamboo Floors are beautiful, durable and renewable!

 

Teragren bamboo flooring products use only Moso bamboo known for its dense fibers and grown in the Zhejiang Province of China. We also require that the bamboo is sustainably harvested at maturity, every 5-1/2 to 6 years.  A process is sustainable if it can be repeated again and again without negative environmental impact or high costs to anyone.  For plants like bamboo, it means harvesting crops or materials so as to ensure the health and vitality of the plant for future harvests.   As a result, Teragren products are exceptionally durable and our source plants remain vigorous and healthy harvest after harvest. 

 

The bamboo plant is considered rapidly renewable because when harvested sustainably the plant re-grows from the same root stalk, maturing in just a few years. By comparison, oak and maple trees take decades to grow, are incapable of re-growing from the same plant and can be harvested only once.

Marmoleum Floors are seriously fun floors...naturally!

 

Marmoleum is a natural product made from linseed oil, woodflour, pine rosin, jute and limestone and is available in a comprehensive range of design elements. This durable, comfortable and stylish floor covering offers a variety of colours for different moods and styles, whether you want to contrast or complement, highlight or hint, Marmoleum has the palette to turn your dreams into reality. Marmoleum is one of the most "green flooring" options available.

 

Marmoleum is available in many colours and forms. Besides the well-known Marmoleum rolls (Marmoleum at home), there are also Marmoleum tiles for example, for anyone looking for a decorative blocked floor. There’s also Marmoleum click, the laminate product which is easy to install yourself and offers many combinations.

Cork Flooring - QU-Cork is Your Perfect Environmental Flooring Choice!

 

You can now have the beauty and durability of nature with out cutting down trees. Cork is the truly renewable flooring option utilizing only the bark of the Cork Tree which can be harvested every nine years.  QU-Cork is manufactured in Portugal utilizing the indigenous Cork in a high quality environment.

 

Cork is the outer bark of the evergreen cork oak (Quercus suber). This variety of oak grows mainly in Portugal, Spain, southern France, Italy, and the North Africa. Cork is sustainable. It is harvested by stripping the bark every nine years. Each cork oak tree provides an average 16 harvests over its 150-200 year lifespan.

Cork harvesting is one of the best examples of a sustainable agro-forestry system, where people use the natural resources around them without disturbing or destroying nature. Cork harvesting has been a way of life in the Mediterranean for at least a thousand years. The forests are ancient.
