5 ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF CHOOSING HARDWOOD FLOORING


Hardwood flooring is among the most sustainable flooring materials that homeowners have access to. Because they are easily replaced, they are considered to be renewable. What environmental benefits does the installation of hardwood flooring provide? Hertfordshire Floor Sanding reached out to the National Wood Flooring Association (an organisation we are a member of) to find out more details.

The quality of indoor air is higher with wood floors

Your home's quality of air can be affected by the flooring materials. Because flooring made of wood is more natural than carpets and other flooring choices, it has a less of a polluting effect on the air.

Wood is a CARBON-NEUTRAL PRODUCT

Wood can produce oxygen throughout its growth cycle and stores carbon throughout its life. Having a net zero carbon footprint indicates that there aren't any carbon emissions. With an increased focus on reducing the emission of greenhouse gases This is a large benefit for making a green environment for your business or home.


WOOD FLOORS USE LESS WATER AND ENERGY to create than OTHER FLOORING OPTIONS

This statistic, according to the National Wood Flooring Association, is based on multiple studies that study the environmental impact of several flooring alternatives to harmful air emissions and water consumption, as well as the total energy consumption, and the life expectancy of the product.

WOOD FLOORING HAS PURPOSE BEYOND ITS SERVICE LIFE

Have you ever thought about what is done with your flooring once it is completed and gone? When it comes to flooring made of wood it is safe to know that it can be burned for fuel or reused. Both are environmentally friendly methods.
Wood floors can last hundreds of years

Wood flooring can last for hundreds of years that is both environmentally and financially beneficial. You can repair or restore damaged wood floors, as well as refinish them. They don't have to be replaced as often as other flooring alternatives.
