Eco Flooring in Schaumburg, Illinois Will Bring Benefits To the Planet and Inside Your Home

Bamboo Floors

Another flooring alternative that’s popular for homes throughout Schaumburg, Illinois, is our bamboo variety, which is manufactured from compressed grass, which makes a durable, hard surface. Our team can easily put it in for you, and it is easy when it comes to the upkeep with regular cleaning. Bamboo is more sustainable than other products because it can be used more often since it grows faster. Speak with our flooring specialists for more information about what this floor type would look like in your home.

Cork Flooring

Cork floors are another great environmentally friendly flooring solution. 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 cut down and the bark can grow back, so cork floors are an ideal flooring product. A great benefit homeowners have found with cork flooring is that it has antimicrobial properties that can reduce allergens and it’s a natural repellent for insects. Cork flooring is typically sealed, which makes it easy to maintain. You can also paint it or stain it, which means you could make it work with any aesthetic. The cork flooring options we have at Floor Coverings International® are made to last upwards of 25 years. You can’t go wrong with cork floors.

Linoleum

Linoleum flooring is another sustainable option that has advanced in multiple designs. This modernized version of linoleum is manufactured with tree resins, wood flour, pigments, linseed oil, cork dust and ground limestone. Because it contains cork, it has fire-retardant properties and the linseed oil helps it repel water. Floor Coverings International® has a wide selection of linoleum options and can present them to you from the comfort of your home or business through our Mobile Flooring Showroom®. Linoleum is becoming a popular option again because it is a sustainable product, comes in a variety of bright and vibrant colors, and is a sustainable, environmentally friendly floor covering. An extra advantage to linoleum flooring is it is strong and will be reliable in areas with a lot of foot traffic.
