Eco Flooring Options for Portland, OR

Glass Tiles

Glass tiles are made from recycled bottles to create great-looking tiles that are great for walls, floor accents and backsplashes. This environmentally friendly solution is perfect for spaces such as kitchens and bathrooms but could be used wherever you'd like. Furthermore, glass tile has the advantage of being easy to maintain. The surface is sealed so it won’t stain, and it is impervious to mildew when in damp conditions. We carry a large selection of glass tiles in many different colors, finishes and designs, so you’ll be able to find a solution that works best for your space.

Bamboo Floors

Floor Coverings International® offers bamboo flooring, which is another flooring option that is becoming quite popular. Bamboo flooring is produces from grass that compressed, creating a floorboard with a hard surface that is durable, easy to maintain and is easy for our crew to install. It is a sustainable flooring material since bamboo grows a lot faster than trees and can be harvested again in a shorter time frame. Our flooring specialists will help find the best bamboo flooring that works in your home regardless of decor.

Cork Flooring

Cork floors are a smart environmentally friendly flooring option. This type of flooring is produced with the bark of the cork oak tree. Since it’s only the bark, the tree itself is not harvested and the bark can grow back, so cork floors are an ideal flooring material. An advantage homeowners 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 usually sealed, which makes it easy to clean. You can also paint it or stain it, so you could make it work with any aesthetic. The cork flooring solutions we carry at Floor Coverings International® are manufactured to last upwards to 25 years. You can’t go wrong with cork floors.

Linoleum

Another great environmentally friendly flooring solution we carry is linoleum, which can be very aesthetically pleasing. Now, linoleum flooring is manufactured from sustainable properties such as:

• Tree resins
• Wood flour
• Pigments
• Linseed oil
• Cork dust
• Ground limestone

The cork dust makes it more fire-resistant and the linseed oil gives the linoleum the ability to repel water. At Floor Coverings International®, we have a wide selection of linoleum flooring, so you can find an option that looks perfect for your property. You can view what we have to offer from your own home when our Mobile Flooring Showroom® comes to you. Linoleum has become an environmentally friendly flooring product, and since it comes in a large assortment of various styles, many homeowners have been drawn towards it. The linoleum flooring we carry is made to be durable and can endure the activities of everyday life.
