Hardwood flooring is now an environmentally friendly choice

Sept. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- Making the decision as to which type of hardwood flooring choice to opt for can often be a daunting and confusing decision to make due to the extensive range of options which are available on the market.  How do you know what type of hardwood floor is right for you and your home? Is it a solid wood floor? Engineered wood flooring? Or a synthetic laminate wooden floor? And what if your main concern is that your hardwood flooring is from a sustainable source? The good news is that all of the above floors are available to buy from eco-friendly hardwood flooring suppliers Easy Step Flooring.

Hardwood flooring is a classic choice as it is both traditional yet works equally well in contemporary rooms too.  While hardwood floors, such as oak flooring are made from the wood harvested from trees, eco-friendly retailers only source their wood floor supplies from forests which are maintained properly.  When wood is harvested from these forests, more trees are planted to replenish the ones which have been cut down for their wood.

While laminate hardwood floors were once considered a poor imitation of solid wood floors the most up to date laminate wood floors are able to withstand the same amount of wear and tear that solid floors can. And thanks to new technology it is possible to texture the laminate wood floors to replicate genuine wood floors.  Most types of laminate wooden floors come with a snap and lock system, making them extremely easy to fit yourself- which helps to keep the costs down.  Some laminates are formed from as much as 74% of re-cycled material, helping to reduce the amount of waste which goes into landfill on an ongoing basis.

Most carpets are made from synthetic materials, such as nylon which is recyclable.  This material is extremely hard wearing, meaning that it lasts a long time but can look tatty and worn before it completely wears out. While some carpets are made from recycled materials, which is good news for the environment other flooring choices are less environmentally friendly- such as vinyl and tiles made from ceramic as these cannot be recycled.
