Flooring
Dirty ugly old stained carpet got you down? Look underfoot with a new perspective. If you like faux stained concrete, forget the acid-etching and use a peroxide/alcohol adhesive remover (Sea To Sky) and then apply soy-based stains in 15 different colors (Soy Sauce).
Want some more cushion while cutting vegetables in the kitchen? How about cork flooring, available as a glue-down tile or as a click-together floating floor (Vida, Expanko, Nova)? Or maybe natural linoleum (Marmoleum), the way they used to make it before vinyl was inflicted on us?
Bamboo, a grass, is rapidly renewable and hard. You can get it in a number of styles and as a glue or naildown solid or as engineered for a floating floor (EcoTimber, Plyboo, Teragren Studio).
Maybe you don?t feel like having someone dig a hole in Italy for your travertine. Much more interesting from a design standpoint are tiles made from recycled glass in concrete or recycled granite and marble chips in concrete (IceStone).
Prefer wood? Go sustainable with Forest Stewardship Council certified hardwoods or reclaimed or salvaged wood like Brazilian Cherry, Tigerwood, Chocolate Oak, Teak or Antique Oak (EcoTimber). Want something really exotic?
This is not your mom?s toxic carpet. The carpet industry has come a long way and needs to come a lot further. But with carpet tiles with an 800 number on the back for easy recycling of 100% recyclable materials, you can feel good about the cool style that you?ve achieved (FLOR).
Let recycled rubber flooring put some bounce back into your step (Eco Surfaces, Expanko). Ideal for laundry rooms, play rooms, exercise rooms and even pool cooldecking!
