Environmentally Friendly Flooring for Wheaton and Naperville, IL

Glass Tiles

Glass bottles are made into elegant glass tiles for tile walls, accents and backsplash solutions. This sustainable option is a budget-friendly solution for kitchens, bathrooms and other areas in homes across the nation. Glass tile has benefits similar to other environmentally friendly materials, and is simple to care for as well. Mold won't attach to it in humid environments and is non-porous, so it won’t stain. Floor Coverings International® has a vast assortment 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 throughout Wheaton and Naperville, IL, is our bamboo variety, which is made with compressed grass, which makes a sturdy, hard surface. We can easily install it for you, and it is easy when it comes to the upkeep with routine cleaning. Bamboo is more environmentally-friendly than other materials because it can be harvested more often since it grows faster. Talk to our Design Associates to learn more about what this kind of floor would look like in your property.

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 material. An advantage property owners have found with cork flooring is that it has antimicrobial qualities that can reduce allergens and it repels insects. Cork flooring is usually sealed, which makes it simple to maintain. You can also paint it or stain it, so you could put it in any room. The cork flooring options we carry at Floor Coverings International® are manufactured to last for approximately 25 years. You can’t go wrong with cork floors.

Linoleum

The industry has improved immensely with more style selections available for property owners who want linoleum flooring. Ours is produced out of tree resins, pigments, wood flour, cork dust, linseed oil and ground limestone. This new and improved combination of materials makes this kind of floor more fire resistant and repellant towards water. It’s environmentally friendly while giving you various styles to pick from and having the ability to withstand foot traffic for many years.
