Environmentally Flooring Options for Oregon City

Bamboo Floors

Another flooring alternative that’s become common in homes is our bamboo options, which is manufactured from compressed grass that produces a sturdy, hard surface. We can easily put it in for you, and it is easy to maintain with routine cleaning. Bamboo is more environmentally-friendly than other materials because it can be harvested more often since it grows quickly. Talk to our flooring specialists to learn more about what this floor type would look like in your home.

Cork Flooring

Cork floors are a smart environmentally friendly flooring option. This kind of flooring is made from the bark of the cork oak tree. Because it’s only the bark, the tree itself is not harvested and the bark can grow again, so cork floors are an ideal flooring product. An advantage property owners have found with cork flooring is that it has antimicrobial properties that can reduce allergens and it’s a natural repellent for insects. Cork flooring is typically sealed, which makes it easy to clean. You can also paint it or stain it, which means you could make it work with any aesthetic. The cork flooring options we have at Floor Coverings International® are made to last for approximately 25 years. Cork floors are a good choice.

Linoleum

The industry has has gotten better with more style options to choose from for property owners who choose linoleum flooring. Ours is made from tree resins, pigments, wood flour, cork dust, linseed oil and ground limestone. This advanced combination of materials makes this floor type more fire resistant and repellant towards water. It’s environmentally friendly while giving you various colors to choose from and having the ability to withstand foot traffic for a long time.
