Bamboo Floors

At Floor Coverings International®, we carry flooring made from bamboo, which is another flooring alternative that is gaining in popularity. Bamboo flooring is produces from compressed grass, creating a hard surface floor that is strong, easy to clean and is easy for our crew to install. It is an environmentally friendly flooring product because bamboo grows a lot faster than trees and can be harvested again quickly. Our experts can show you bamboo flooring that fits in your home regardless of decor.

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. 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 product. A great benefit homeowners have realized with cork flooring is that it has antimicrobial properties that can reduce allergens and it repels insects. Cork flooring is usually sealed, which makes it easy to maintain. 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 made 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 produced 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 makes the linoleum repellant to liquids. At Floor Coverings International®, we have a wide variety of linoleum flooring, so you can find a solution that looks great in your home. You can look at what we have to offer from the comfort of your home when we bring our Mobile Flooring Showroom®.
