There are a lot of green flooring options out there and whether the room you-re redoing is going to be used for basketball practice or to watch Direct TV in there-s an option for you. Here are a few of our favorite renewable flooring options
Bamboo Flooring: Bamboo is one of the toughest woods in the world and it makes for a mighty attractive flooring option as well. Make sure you choose a renewable brand and don-t seal with toxic resin ” there are green options for that as well.
Cork Flooring: Great for kids rooms and offices, cork flooring has a little give and a lot of style. It comes in many colors and since cork is a natural product you won-t have to worry about harming the environment.
Marmoleum: Never heard of it? It-s the original faux laminate flooring and it-s perfect for everything from garages to basements. It-s made from flax seed oil and minerals and it holds up just as well (and looks better) than most old-school linoleums. Just don-t put it in your kitchen.
