Resilient Flooring:
Resilient flooring is designed to be durable, resistant to stains and water, and comfortable to stand and work on. The most common resilient flooring types are made from vinyl, linoleum, and marmoleum. These materials are all known for being extremely sturdy.
Rubber Flooring:
One of the most common choices for green flooring is carpet. If you have been avoiding traditional carpeting due to the smell of VOC’s and chemicals, then you will love being able to experience the look and feel of a green carpet.
Since rubber can be made from petroleum, you may not think that it is an option for green flooring, but the truth is that rubber is also an eco-friendly option. Rubber is a low odor, simple to install type of green flooring that can last for the life of your home or business with the right care. Recycled rubber is available for flooring in tiles, or in sheets. If you are using green rubber flooring in the kitchen, for example, then tiles would be a great green flooring choice.
Rubber is both sound and shock absorbent. Rubber flooring has been used extensively in Australia and the United Kingdom for many years, especially in gyms, playrooms and kitchens. Bamboo and cork are also excellent options when you are looking for green flooring.
Vinyl Flooring:
One of the most common choices for green flooring is carpet. If you have been avoiding traditional carpeting due to the smell of VOC’s and chemicals, then you will love being able to experience the look and feel of a green carpet.
Vinyl floors have been one of the top options in flooring for both commercial and residential properties for many different reasons. The versatility of vinyl is one of the main reasons that it is so common in homes and offices. Vinyl flooring can be used for many different rooms and can withstand high traffic.
Since vinyl flooring is durable and waterproof, it is an excellent choice for kitchens and bathrooms, and can be used extensively in both health care and child care facilities. Vinyl is very easy to clean. In most cases, a vinyl floor will not have any visible seams for dirt or debris to lodge into. Vinyl is hypoallergenic, and does not trap dust or other allergens like carpet tends to do.
Marmoleum Flooring:
Yes, marmoleum is actually linoleum flooring! But it’s not the same dull linoleum flooring found years ago. Marmoleum is fresh, fun, and has been rated as the best-valued brand for linoleum floors.
Marmoleum is unlike typical vinyl floors because it is made from 100% natural materials, where vinyl is a man-made product. Marmoleum does not emit harsh odors that off-gas in to your environment. What makes Marmoleum so special is that it is the only linoleum floor certified as Asthma & Allergy Friendly.
