Reclaimed Wood Flooring is a Green Choice!

The use of reclaimed wood floors has become very common in new homes and renovation projects alike. Most homeowners prefer to use wood flooring reclaimed from old buildings before they are demolished. The eco-friendly option has become quite fashionable and here are a few advantages that you too can enjoy by using reclaimed wood flooring.

 
  

1. Well aged wood floors require less chemical treatment
The biggest advantage of wooden flooring that has been reclaimed from old buildings is that it is properly aged. The exposure to the air and humidity dries the wood out which means that it wouldn’t shrink or warp upon use and don’t need chemical stains and treatment to look good.

2. Reclaimed wood floors save new trees
When you use wood floors reclaimed from another site, you actively prevent new trees from being felled to create new wood floors. If you want your new home to be as eco-friendly as it can be without giving up the hominess that only wood flooring can provide, reclaimed floors would be your best bet.

3. More cost effective than fresh wood floors
Wood floor that is reclaimed from an old building is often much, much cheaper than flooring that is made from freshly cut trees.

4. Easier to maintain than new wood
Old wooden floors get the kind of exposure that wood needs to age properly. A wooden floor that has been in use before is aged and weathered just the right amount which means that it doesn’t need to be treated and taken care of as much as a new wood floor. You can simply stain these floors or leave them bare to make them even more low maintenance.
5. Add natural beauty to a room

Unstained and untreated old wood floors lend a certain beauty to a room that cannot be had with the use of a fresh wood flooring. If you are looking to create a retro or vintage themed room, reclaimed wood flooring could work wonders.

Eco-friendly Flooring

If you need to replace your carpets or floors, choose materials that are safe for your health and the planet.

EPA studies have shown that indoor pollutant levels can be two to five times higher than they are outside. To find the source of many of these pollutants, just glance down. Installation of new carpet and flooring can fill the air with hundreds of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including known and suspected carcinogens like formaldehyde and benzene. It can take years for these substances to dissipate. In addition, carpets are often treated with toxic chemicals for mothproofing or to repel soil and moisture. Carpeting is also notorious for trapping toxic lawn chemicals, VOCs, and allergens tracked in from outside.

There are several sustainable flooring options that can...

Proud Member of The Best Flooring Network


The Best Flooring Network, Wood Flooring Contractors and Suppliers

Any house can be transformed from a drab and dreary tract home to a luxurious, uniquely defined home provided one uses the best quality interior finishes.  If you’re like most people, you either bought your home that someone once lived in; the finishes of the home are not of your choosing. Or you bought a home within the last ten years or so and the builder of the home gave you a limited choice of how you could or could not finish out your home.  Both of these situations can leave a home owner with a situation where their own home does not reflect their style, tastes, or level of comfort expectations.  

One common problem is that the majority of new homes across America still have builders-grade carpet, wood flooring, tile flooring, and laminate floors.  Most builders-grade material is only meant to last five years or so under favorable conditions, so it’s not surprising when a home owner’s kitchen tile starts popping up after five years, or the wood flooring in their house starts changing colors or delaminating, And their builders-grade carpeting starts coming apart at high traffic areas in the home.  Most flooring finishes in new homes are cheap, thus giving the overall feel of a home this same feeling.  So if your home is in need of new flooring, don’t throw good money at a bad situation.  Don’t replace your builders-grade flooring material with more builders-grade flooring material.  Stay away from the  Lumber Liquidators and Seconds and Surplus’ of the world who are known to carry seconds, builders-grade flooring, discontinued flooring products, and other shoddy flooring items. 

For first quality and first grade flooring materials no one can provide a better selection at rock bottom pricing than The Best Flooring Network.  We offer over 5,000 different wood flooring products and other factory direct flooring for sale on our website (until California's Best Flooring Company's site is live):  http://texasbestflooringcompany.com/

The Best Flooring Network also offers bamboo and cork flooring.  Both are natural, sustainable types of flooring for consumers who want to install green floors or have a more contemporary-looking floor in their home.  Bamboo flooring can come in many different colors and styles.  One of The Best Flooring Network’s Bamboo wood flooring suppliers has over 1,000 different colors and styles in stock.  Bamboo is a grass, not a wood, so this in itself leads to many possibilities of different uses.  The Dallas Aquarium in Dallas, Texas uses bamboo to cover all of their ceilings of their main entry walls.  Bamboo can go almost anywhere it seems!

Cork flooring is also a natural material, but it is harvested from a cork tree’s bark.  No tress are harmed in the process which makes for a truly earth-friendly flooring product. Cork is flexible and is composed of small honeycomb structures which, when stepped on, give it a cushiony feeling.  Cork also comes in many colors and styles, and let’s not forget that cork acts as a sound barrier and is a great natural insulator.
