Sustainable Wood Flooring

Sustainable Bamboo Flooring

Bamboo, a rapidly renewable natural resource is a fast-growing grass that is used to create hundreds of products ranging from building to ornamental. Not all bamboo floors are created equal and most would not fit into a sustainable, eco-friendly, healthy lifestyle. Bamboo is created by pressing slices of treated bamboo together with adhesive to hold it together, those treatments and adhesives are often toxic and utilize formaldahyde. It is important to look for Low-VOC bamboo, or sustainable bamboo flooring brands, such as those from 360 Interchange.

Sustainable Solid & Engineered Flooring

As with bamboo, not all flooring products are created equal and only recently has there been an industry focus on creating sustainable solid and engineered wood flooring. 360 Interchange works with manufacturers who certify their practices from foresting or purchasing lumber through the production process all the way to distribution. This approach ensures that the flooring you put in your home has been harvested and produced in a way that will minimize the impact on the planet.
