Environmentally Friendly Flooring for Horseshoe Bend, ID

Glass Tiles

Recycled glass materials are used to make beautiful glass tiles for tile walls, accents and backsplash options. This renewable source is an affordable alternative for kitchens, bathrooms and other areas in homes across the nation. Glass tile has benefits similar to other environmentally friendly products, and is easy to care for as well. It won’t mildew or mold in humid conditions and is non-porous, so it won’t stain. Floor Coverings International® carries a wide range of glass tiles that come in various colors, patterns, and finishes suitable for any design.

Bamboo Floors

Another flooring material that’s popular for homes is our bamboo variety, which is manufactured from compressed grass, which makes a sturdy, hard surface. We can easily put it in for you, and it is easy when it comes to the upkeep with regular cleaning. Bamboo is more sustainable than other products because it can be harvested more often since it grows faster. Speak with 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 solution. 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 again, so cork floors are a sustainable flooring material. An advantage homeowners have found with cork flooring is that it has antimicrobial qualities that can decrease allergens and it’s a natural repellent for insects. Cork flooring is normally sealed, which makes it easy to maintain. It can also be painted or stained, which means you could make it work with any aesthetic. The cork flooring solutions we have at Floor Coverings International® are manufactured to last for approximately 25 years. Cork floors are a wise investment.

Linoleum

Another alternate environmentally friendly flooring solution we have is linoleum, which can be very aesthetically pleasing. Today, linoleum flooring is made from sustainable properties such as:

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

The cork dust makes it fire-retardant and the linseed oil gives the linoleum the ability to repel water. At Floor Coverings International®, we have a large selection of linoleum flooring, so you can find an option that looks great in your home. You can look at our selections from the comfort of your home when we bring our Mobile Flooring Showroom®. Linoleum has become an environmentally friendly flooring product, and since it comes in a large assortment of different designs, many homeowners have gravitated towards it. The linoleum flooring we have is built to be sturdy and can endure the actions of everyday life.
