Green Is In.

Cork & Bamboo

     Cork and Bamboo floors are among the most enviromentally correct flooring alternatives.  While the raw material for cork and bamboo flooring is renewable, the harvesting process doesn't disturb the ecosystem, unlike wood flooring which requires trees to be cut. 

     Once seen as a fringe movement, the trend toward taking care of our enviroment through independent and collective action has since developed into what is now known as the "Green" business ethic.  Today's average consumer is interested in healthy living and looks for products that support this ideal.  Cork and Bamboo are two of those products.

NATURAL CORK. BAMBOO

Description:	Bamboo grows in many regions of the world especially in warm climates where the earth is continuously kept moist with frequent monsoons. Throughout Asia , from India to China, from the Phillippines to Japan, bamboo thrives in natural forestlands. Bamboo is a member of the grass family. Grass is a rapidly growing invasive plant, as is bamboo. In a mere 4 years bamboo is ready to harvest, and like grass cutting bamboo doesn't kill the plant, an extensive root system stays intact, allowing for rapid regeneration. There are a variety of species of bamboo. Tall and straight Mao Zhu or Moso Bamboo is the species of choice for flooring fabrication. What are the features of Bamboo Flooring? 1. Eco-Friendly- Bamboo is renewable,recyclable and biodegradable. 2. Healthy Alternative to traditional building materials creating better indoor air quality, less allergens and offgassing. 3. Durable- bamboo is composed of complex fibers that don't absorb moisture as easily as wood. It has a technically advanced aluminum oxide coating which outlasts traditional finishes 3 to 4 times over. 4. Natural Beauty- Bamboo flooring has a unique appearance that is complentary to many decors. Exotic and elegant, the beauty of bamboo will enhance your interior while remaining true to its natural origins. HOW IS IT MAINTAINED. Sweeping and damp mopping is all that is required. Types of Bamboo offered: Traditonal Stained Hand-Scraped Engineered Engineered Stained Strand Woven

NATURAL CORK. CORK

Description:	Parquet Tile & Floating Floor Plank - Cork flooring is produced in Portugal, which has the largest concentration of trees, and a long standing tradition of manufacturing in this field from the bark treatment to wine stoppers production, cork's primary use, and the many derivative articles using all post industrial by-products. Why Choose Cork? 1. It is durable and easy to maintain. Pre-finished Natural Cork flooring is protected with 5 coats of durable UV cured acrylic finish. Regular maintenance requires only routine sweeping and vacuuming to avoid build up of abrasive particles. Spills should be cleaned up right away. WET MAINTENANCE IS ENTIRELY FORBIDDEN. 2. Comfort. Cork provides a comfortable cushion underfoot as it gives under compression. Because Cork "bounces back" recovery from marks left by furniture will leave minimal residual indentation, less noticable than on wood,carpet or vinyl floors. 3. Cork is a fire inhibitor that does not spread flame. Cork will not produce toxic gases on combustion. 4. Cork contains over 100 million prism-shaped cells per cubic inch. These air-filled cells allow cork to provide excellent thermal and acoustic insulation.
