Environmental Flooring Options for North Aurora, IL

Glass Tiles

Glass tiles are made from recycled glass materials to create gorgeous tiles that are perfect for walls, floor accents and backsplashes. This environmentally friendly option is perfect for areas such as kitchens and bathrooms but could be used anywhere. In addition, glass tile has the benefit of being low maintenance. The surface is sealed so it won’t stain, and it is resistant to mildew when in damp conditions. We carry a wide variety of glass tiles in various colors, finishes and designs, so you’ll be able to find an option that is perfect for your home.

Bamboo Floors

Bamboo floors have become another great option with property owners across the nation and in the North Aurora, IL, region. Bamboo flooring is a hard surface alternative that is made from compressed grass. It is durable, easy to clean and easy for our professionals to install. At Floor Coverings International®, we have a good assortment of bamboo floors so that you can benefit from this environmentally friendly flooring option. Bamboo grows fast and is durable, which makes bamboo floors a very sustainable option. You can ask our Design Associates about our bamboo selection and see how it will look in your residence.

Cork Flooring

Because cork is created from the bark of a cork oak, it’s highly sustainable since it doesn't require cutting down trees. Once it has been collected from the tree, the bark simply grows back. They’re antimicrobial, repel insects and minimize allergens in your residence. Although it needs regular sealing, it is fire retardant and simple to clean, which means it’ll keep in good condition for years to come. Despite what aesthetic design your house may have, it can be easily adapted with paints and stains. With cork floors, you can enjoy a quieter space, a soft feel underfoot and sturdiness up to 25 years.

Linoleum

Another alternate environmentally friendly flooring option we have is linoleum, which can be very aesthetically pleasing. Now, linoleum flooring is created from sustainable materials 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 selection of linoleum flooring, so you can find a solution that looks great in your home. You can browse our selections from your own home when our Mobile Flooring Showroom® comes to you. Linoleum has become a great flooring product, and since it comes in a large assortment of various designs, many homeowners have gravitated towards it. The linoleum flooring we have is built to be sturdy and can withstand the activities of everyday use.
