Make Your Spring Even Greener with Green Flooring
It could be your innermost desire to get a literally green floor by St. Patrick’s Day (thin green paint or stain over an old hardwood floor, for instance), but by green we mean a new floor that is environmentally friendly and renewable. These days, getting a wonderful new floor installed or perhaps making it a DIY project, is easier than ever. Floormall.com has great resources like a university (full of knowledge about flooring), a blog, and an online mall where there are hundreds of flooring options available. Spring is the season of renewal. Why not let it apply to the flooring, or even one room, of your home?

A hot and very green flooring resource these days is bamboo. This is a fantastic product in the looks department, and knowing that it is made from an extremely fast growing variety of grass, and produced by farmers on land in China (therefore enabling many people to get jobs), is a real A plus in the flooring material arena. Floormall.com can show you photos of the planks and installations, in the several colors that bamboo flooring comes in. The natural light color is super in an urban loft type of room and the caramelized variations offer a warmer and yet somewhat darker option. There are even types of bamboo planks that have strip variations and these may offer a designer touch, and an exotic one as well. Bamboo needs a certain type of glue to stick it down on concrete and although it does snap together, there are more complicated installation methods than laminate, with this flooring. You can do it yourself but it takes elbow grease and flooring pros may be called for. It depends on what you’d like to do.

Any type of recycled flooring is a green option of course. Barn wood makes superior and antique looking flooring. If you are so lucky as to be close to or friends with a farmer who has an aged barn that needs removing, then that’s a good source for these beautiful planks. It all needs planing down, sanding then sealing to a uniform thickness and length. Some places specialize in this if you don’t have the expertise or time to do it. Floormall.com can give you more info on recycled lumber and also some places to look for it, and possible installers as well. Real hardwood flooring is a bit harder to install than laminate, but it lasts a long time and depending on thickness, can be re-sanded and refinished several times.
Perhaps the best thing about shopping online at Floormall.com for your “green” flooring needs is the fact that you are not polluting the environment by driving all over town (or even the next city) to look at samples of flooring in various retail outlets. You can compare looks and use and prices online. No gas usage, no wearing out of shoe soles, no stress and no need to buy a disappointing lunch at a food court somewhere. This mall will only help you, not hurt your wallet or waistline.
